Interventions

  • Medication

    GSK5764227

    GSK5764227 is a new kind of drug known as an antibody drug conjugate (ADC). GSK5764227 works by recognizing and attaching to a substance known as B7-H3 that is found on the surface of certain tumor cells. Once GSK5764227 binds to B7-H3, it enters the tumor cell and releases a chemotherapy-type drug (known as GSK5757810) which has been shown to damage and kill tumor cells.

  • Medication

    Dostarlimab

    Dostarlimab belongs to a class of drugs called PD-1 inhibitors that use your own immune system to treat cancer (immunotherapy). Dostarlimab is designed to help your immune system by attaching to a protein called PD-1 and stopping one of the signals that keeps your immune system from recognizing the cancer. This may help your immune system attack and destroy the cancer cells. Dostarlimab is approved in some countries to treat patients with endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterus) that is advanced or has relapsed. It is also approved in the United States for all solid cancers that have a particular tumor genetic characteristic and have worsened during or after previous treatment. Dostarlimab has not yet been approved by Health Canada to treat head and neck cancer.

About This Trial

The BeeHive study is an investigator-initiated, single center, open-label phase II clinical trial that is designed to conduct a comprehensive multiomic biomarker evaluation across two single-arm cohorts to elucidate mechanisms of response and resistance in recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). It is anticipated that about 20 patients will be enrolled in Cohort A and an additional of 10 patients will be enrolled in Cohort B.
