Positive Results Reported in 1L HNSCC Patients with Negative PD-L1 Expression
Robert Metcalf, MD, PhD, The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, U.K., stated, “The high response rate from this novel immunotherapy combination is well above other treatment approaches without chemotherapy. It matches historical response rates from chemotherapy-based treatments but without the associated toxicities. This is really significant for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas who have a CPS less than one and for whom chemotherapy is the current first line treatment. Achieving complete responses in this group bodes well for this immunotherapy combination’s future potential, especially given the positive trend in response durability. The clinically meaningful response rate and high unmet medical need warrant further investigation of eftilagimod plus pembrolizumab in this patient population.”
