Overall, only 15-20% of patients ultimately benefit from anti-PD-1 in these studies highlighting the need for improving efficacy of CPIs for HNSCC treatment. These trials led to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the use of anti-PD-1 (nivolumab and pembrolizumab) for second-line for recurrent and metastatic HNSCC patients who had already experienced platinum-based therapies (31). 2014;371(3):21323. evaluated the role of measuring plasma EBV DNA and is included. In conclusion, the RESONATE-2 trial demonstrates that ibrutinib is a new important player in the treatment of elderly unfit patients and in those with high-risk disease. Head Neck. Therefore, in absence of data from this and similar trials, either therapeutic choice is adequate in the day-to-day practice. In fact, meta-analysis of melanoma neoadjuvant immunotherapy trials has shown that any degree of pathologic response and not just MPR/pCR, was correlated with better clinical outcomes (64). doi: 10.1200/JCO.2011.38.8595, 60. However, IC remains an attractive approach for specific cases of advanced disease with a high risk for local or distant failure or to debulk rapidly growing tumors (19). These data together support further investigation in Phase III trials such as KEYNOTE-689 to define evidence for survival benefit and identify high-risk patients who may benefit from this approach.

Notably, patients with PR (partial plus major) showed significantly improved 1-year DFS compared to patients with no PR (100% versus 68%, p = 0.01; HR = 0.23).

These trials will test the important topic of whether there is synergy in combination approaches with RT, immunotherapy and/or chemotherapy. For example, in a phase II trial, platinum combined with immunotherapy (nivolumab) followed by transoral robotic surgery (TORS) or RT/CRT is being examined in oropharyngeal cancer patients (NCT03107182). CrossRef Bonner J, et al. Ann Oncol (2019) 30(1):5767.

These data show that two doses or the longer neoadjuvant window (3 versus 6 weeks) resulted in an increased rate of pTR but did not increase the total proportion of patients with pTR. IC resulted in larynx preservation but did not contribute to improved survival. These studies with previously untreated tumors may enable establishment of predictive biomarkers to select appropriate patients and also define mechanistic pathways. doi: 10.1200/JCO.2021.39.15_suppl.6006, 75.

Given that the genomic analyses of HNSCC has not identified widely shared oncogenic driver mutations but shows relatively high TMB (49, 50), the relationship between TMB and response to CPIs is promising. In addition, CD8+ T cells with lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3) or T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3) co-expression with PD-1 was higher among non-responders (52).

In conclusion, neoadjuvant approaches provide a potential exciting new treatment paradigm for HNSCC patients. Combinations of chlorambucil with an anti-CD2O monoclonal antibody, such as rituximab, ofatumumab or obinutuzumab, are now the standard of care in patients unsuited to receive fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and rituximab [34,35,36]. A natural extension of this work has led several groups to test whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery would improve clinical outcomes. Several landmark trials established the clinical benefit of using cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy after surgery for locally advanced, . California Privacy Statement, The November 3, 2021 "Clinical Trial Endpoint Development" (12pm - 5:00 pm ET) will address Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) A total of 36 patients (T3/T4; 80%, stage IV; 92%) were enrolled and received one time dose of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab (200 mg) followed by surgery two or three weeks after the immunotherapy.

With the advent of novel oral agents that are well tolerated and highly efficacious, the therapeutic landscape of CLL underwent radical changes [31]. Based on this study and depending on the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) either pembrolizumab alone or with chemotherapy represents the first choice for these patients (14). Recent clinical trials of neoadjuvant immunotherapy show promising results and this methodology has the potential to change the treatment algorithm of HNSCC.

These designs would allow recruitment of biomarker-negative patients, often not included in other trials, and have the potential for perpetual designs, in which successful matching of novel drugs and biomarkers would result in graduation of the pair to a phase III trial, along with the rapid rejection of novel drugs that did not work. Nivolumab (3 mg/kg) was administered on weeks 1 and 3, while ipilimumab (1 mg/kg) was given on week 1 only. Burtness B, Harrington KJ, Greil R, Soulires D, Tahara M, de Castro G Jr, et al.

PD-1 and CTLA-4 Combination Blockade Expands Infiltrating T Cells and Reduces Regulatory T and Myeloid Cells Within B16 Melanoma Tumors. The EORTC 22931 and RTOG 9501 trials were published in 2004 and demonstrated that the addition of concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy to radiation therapy in the postoperative setting improved outcomes for selected (based on pathologic features) patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, and hypopharynx. By contrast, neoadjuvant immunotherapy is fundamentally distinct as it targets the host immune system to attack tumor cells in a durable fashion. As further investigation of these intriguing results is needed, the SITC HNSCC immunotherapy guidelines does not recommend using HPV status for anti-PD1 treatments in R/M HNSCC (31). Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys (1992) 23(4):70513. In fact, a study evaluating 20 resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors after neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 treatment showed a discrepancy between radiological and pathological evaluation (58). doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa2002788, 31.
