Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx, oral cavity, hypopharynx, or larynx who have measurable disease, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, and available tumor tissue are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients with poor performance status (ECOG >1), very limited life expectancy, primary tumors outside the specified head and neck sites, or who cannot comply with contraception requirements are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 1/2 interventional study explores dosing, safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of SHR-A2102 given with the immune agent adebrelimab, either alone or combined with other anti-tumor therapies such as cetuximab, in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The phase 1 portion uses dose-escalation to identify a recommended dose and characterize safety, while phase 2 enrolls expansion cohorts to gather preliminary activity data. Eligible participants must have histologically confirmed squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx, oral cavity, hypopharynx, or larynx, at least one measurable lesion by RECIST v1.1, ECOG 0–1, adequate organ function, and available tumor tissue. The trial is sponsored by Suzhou Suncadia Biopharmaceuticals and is being conducted at cancer centers in China.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this combination could provide a new treatment option that improves tumor control or survival for patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

How similar studies have gone: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have produced benefits in recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer and combinations with targeted agents like cetuximab have been explored, but combination regimens remain investigational with mixed results to date.

5. Expected survival ≥12 weeks.
6. Male subjects whose partners are women of childbearing age and female subjects who are fertile are required to use highly effective contraceptive methods.

Exclusion Criteria:

\-

1\. Subjects will not be screened if they meet any of the following conditions:

1. Primary tumor located in the nasopharynx, salivary glands, sinuses, skin, or squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary origin;
2. Locally advanced patients who are candidates for curative surgery or local therapy and have the intention to undergo such treatment;

2\. Known hypersensitivity to the investigational drug or any of its excipients, or a history of severe allergic reactions to other monoclonal antibodies.

3\. Prior treatments or medications before the first dose of the study drug:

1. Use of any investigational drug within 4 weeks before the first dose;
2. Concurrent enrollment in another clinical trial, unless it is an observational (non-interventional) study or follow-up in an interventional study; 4. Active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disorders. 5. Residual toxicity from prior anticancer therapy not resolved to ≤Grade 1 (CTCAE v5.0) (except for non-safety risks, such as alopecia) or not meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria.

6\. Uncontrolled or symptomatic active CNS metastases. 7. Symptomatic visceral metastases with imminent life-threatening complications .

8\. Severe bone damage caused by tumor bone metastasis, including severe bone pain that is poorly controlled; pathological fractures in important areas that occurred within 6 months before the first medication or are expected to occur very soon; and spinal cord compression.

9\. Known or suspected interstitial lung disease (ILD) or severe pulmonary conditions.

10\. Other active malignancies within 3 years before study entry. 11. Have a history of immunodeficiency, including a positive HIV test result, or suffer from other acquired or congenital immune deficiency diseases, or have a history of organ transplantation and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.
