Study Summary

This phase II trial studies the effect of cemiplimab in combination with low-dose paclitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck that has come back (recurrent) or spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab , may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, like paclitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving cemiplimab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin may work better in treating recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Primary Outcome

ORR defined as the proportion of patients with a documented complete response (CR) + partial response (PR) at week 12 of treatment based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. An ORR of 40% (percent) or higher will be consider a positive result. Simon two-stage optimal design will be used.
