Design
Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- Metastatic or unresectable recurrent HNSCC
- description
- Up to 500 participants (including primary tumor location of pharynx, larynx, oral cavity and oropharynx) with metastatic or unresectable recurrent HNSCC who are intended for first line immunotherapy or combination therapy. No intervention.
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Explore DNA, RNA, immune and other multiomic biomarkers to better understand prognostic or predictive biomarkers and to inform future research for new relevant biomarkers.
- timeFrame
- 5 years
- description
- Use NGS, ctNDA assessments, RNA analysis, and other multiomic testing to uncover biomarkers of collected blood and tissue samples that may predict outcomes, identify markers related to disease, identify markers related to mechanism of drug action, and inform future research.
Secondary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Explore changes in relevant DNA, RNA, immune and multiomic biomarkers in longitudinal blood samples, and diagnostic and progression biopsy samples, to understand real-world outcomes and resistance mechanisms.
