A Study of Ficlatuzumab in Combination With Cetuximab in Participants With Recurrent or Metastatic (R/M) HPV Negative Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Is NCT06064877 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 3 trial studies multiple treatments including Ficlatuzumab and Cetuximab for metastatic head-and-neck squamous-cell carcinoma.

Phase 3RecruitingAVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc.NCT06064877Data as of Jun 2026Location: International · 18 countries

Treatment: Ficlatuzumab · CetuximabThe purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ficlatuzumab plus cetuximab compared to placebo plus cetuximab in participants with recurrent/metastatic (R/M) HPV-negative Head and Neck Cancer. The primary hypothesis is that ficlatuzumab combined with cetuximab is superior to cetuximab alone in terms of progression-free survival and/or overall survival.
