Dalpicilib Plus Cetuximab Compared With Cetuximab Alone in HPV-negative, Anti-PD-1-resistant R/M HNSCC
Is NCT06935188 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including Dalpicilib combined with cetuximab and cetuximab for recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Treatment: Dalpicilib combined with cetuximab · cetuximab — This study is a single center, randomized controlled, prospective phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cetuximab combined with dalpicilib compared to cetuximab monotherapy in patients with HPV-negative, anti-PD-1-resistant recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The participants would receive cetuximab combined with dalpicilib or cetuximab monotherapy until termination criteria are met.
