OncoMatch/Clinical Trials/NCT06239220
PD-L1 t-haNK, NAI IL-15sa and Cetuximab for Recurrent, Metastatic HNSCC
Is NCT06239220 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including PD-L1 t-haNK and NAI for head and neck cancer.
Treatment: PD-L1 t-haNK · Cetuximab · NAI — The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and efficacy of the combination of PD-L1 t-haNK (modified immune cells), NAI (a manufactured protein that stimulates the immune system), and cetuximab (a targeted antibody) in treating advanced head and neck cancer. The names of the therapies involved in this study are: * PD-L1 t-haNK cell therapy (a NK cell therapy infusion) * NAI (a type of recombinant human superagonist) * Cetuximab (a type of antibody)

Performance status
ECOG 0–1(Restricted strenuous activity)
Prior therapy
Must have received: anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy — one prior line must have included anti-PD-1/L1 therapy
one of these lines should have included anti-PD-1/L1 therapy
Must have received: platinum-based chemotherapy — definitive/adjuvant or curative-intent treatment can count as 1 prior line if progression within 6 months
Platinum-based therapy as part of definitive/adjuvant or curative-intent treatment can count as 1 prior line of therapy if the subject progressed within 6 months of receiving therapy
Cannot have received: systemic therapy
Exception: no more than 2 prior lines for R/M HNSCC
Have been previously treated with 3 or more lines of systemic therapy for R/M HNSCC
