Brief Summary:
This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 0 substudy designed to evaluate the localized pharmacodynamics (PD) of rilvegostomig, volrustomig, sabestomig, and AZD9592 within the tumor microenvironment (TME) when administered intratumorally in microdose quantities via the CIVO device in patients presenting with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) with a surface accessible lesion, who are scheduled for tumor and/or regional node dissection as part of their standard treatment. PD effects due to injected investigational agents, either as single agents or as AZD9592 drug combinations with the evaluated biologics, will be compared to those elicited by pembrolizumab alone, which will also be injected in microdose quantities via the CIVO device.
Detailed Description:
The CIVO Microdose Injection Device (MID) simultaneously delivers multiple drugs and drug combinations (Up to 8), each in microdose amounts, into a single patient tumor and enables comparisons of the resulting biomarker responses that occurred while that tumor was still in the native microenvironment. AstraZeneca is developing three novel assets: rilvegostomig, volrustomig, and sabestomig, all of which are bispecific monoclonal antibodies designed to stimulate antitumor immunity. In this Phase 0 clinical trial, the PD effects of these investigational assets in the TME of patients presenting with HNSCC will be evaluated. These investigational assets will be injected alone in microdose quantities at tumor sites in HNSCC patients. Pembrolizumab, also used therapeutically in this patient population, will be included in the CIVO injection array administered as a single agent. In addition, microdoses of AZD9592, a novel antibody drug conjugate (ADC), alone or in combinations with the evaluated biologics will also be assessed. The CIVO-injected portion of the tissue will be analyzed for localized response at sites of drug exposure in the TME.
