Study Summary

This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of ImmunoPulse IL-12® in treatment-refractory metastatic and unresectable squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). ImmunPulseIL12® is the combination of intrtumoral interleukin-12 gene (also known as tavokinogene telseplasmid \[tavo\]) and in vivo electroporation-mediated plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\] vaccine therapy (tavo-EP) administered using the OncoSec Medical System (OMS). Intratumoral tavo is a gene therapy approach to directly induce a pro-inflammatory response within a tumor to initiate and/or enhance anti-tumor immunity.

Primary Outcome

BORR is defined as the percentage of participants with evaluable lesions that achieved a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, no new lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, no progression in non-target lesion, and no new lesions.

Interventions

  • BIOLOGICAL Tavokinogene Telseplasmid (tavo)
  • DEVICE OncoSec Medical System (OMS)
