+ TACTI-003

TACTI-003 is a Phase IIb Clinical Trial in 1st line Head and Neck Cancer evaluating efti in combination with MSD’s KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) as a first line therapy in unresectable recurrent or metastatic HNSCC patients with PD-L1 negative and PD-L1 positive (CPS ≥1) tumours.

The study completed enrollment in 2023 and is evaluating the safety and efficacy of efti in combination with pembrolizumab, compared to pembrolizumab alone in 1st line metastatic or recurrent HNSCC patients with PD-L1 positive (CPS ≥1) tumours (cohort A), and also determining the efficacy and safety of efti plus pembrolizumab in patients with PD-L1 negative tumours (CPS <1) (cohort B). The primary endpoint of the study is the Overall Response Rate (ORR) according to RECIST 1.1. iRECIST will be used for treatment decisions
