Conditions

Summary

This is a phase 2 trial to assess the safety and tolerability of three schedules of CUE-101 administered in the neoadjuvant phase before standard of care (SOC) therapy to treatment naïve, HLA-A\*0201 positive patients with newly diagnosed, locally advanced HPV16+ oropharyngeal squamous-cell carcinoma (OPSCC). This is an exploratory trial of a limited sample size to confirm safety and to assess for pharmacodynamic signals of efficacy in each of three schedules of CUE-101. Safety assessments will be performed at baseline and after CUE-101 administration. To assess for efficacy, peripheral blood and tumor samples will be collected at baseline and after CUE-101 administration. Following CUE-101, patients will proceed with SOC therapy, as prescribed by the treating physician.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a new immunotherapy drug called CUE-101 — which helps the immune system target HPV16-related cancer cells — in people with throat cancer (oropharyngeal cancer) caused by the HPV16 virus, given before surgery or radiation/chemotherapy treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - Your throat or neck cancer has been confirmed by biopsy - Your tumor is caused by HPV16 and you have a specific immune marker (HLA-A*0201 positive) - Your cancer is stage I–III (but not T1N0 or T2N0) - You are a candidate for surgery or definitive chemoradiation **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer is not HPV16-positive - You do not have the required HLA type - Your cancer is at a very early stage (T1N0 or T2N0) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
