A Study of PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V in Advanced Solid Tumors

This study will test the safety of a drug called PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V alone and with pembrolizumab in participants with solid tumors. It will also study the side effects of this drug. A side effect is anything a drug does to your body besides treating your disease. Participants will have solid tumor cancer that has spread through the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed with surgery (unresectable). This study will have five parts. Parts A and B of the study will find out how much PF-08046054/SGN- PDL1V should be given to participants. Part C will use the dose found in Parts A and B to find out how safe PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V is and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers. In Part D and E, participants will be given PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V with pembrolizumab to find out how safe this combination is and if it works to treat solid tumor cancers.

Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NAC) Alone or in Combination With Immunotherapy Vaccine PRGN-2009 in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed HPV-Associated Oropharyngeal (Head and Neck) Cancer

Background: Throat cancer is a common tumor that can occur in people infected with the human papilloma virus (HPV). Most people with this cancer survive more than 5 years with standard chemotherapy drugs plus radiation. But radiation can cause serious adverse effects. Researchers believe that adding a vaccine (PRGN-2009) to this drug therapy may improve survival without the need for radiation. Objective: To test a study vaccine combined with standard chemotherapy in patients with HPV-associated throat cancers. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with newly diagnosed throat cancer associated with HPV. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart function and hearing. They will provide a sample of tissue from their tumor. A recent sample may be used; if none is available, a new sample will be taken. All participants will get two common drugs for treating cancer. These drugs are given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Participants will receive these drugs on the first day of three 3-week cycles. Half of the participants will also get the vaccine. PRGN-2009 is injected under the skin in the arm. They will get these shots 4 times: 7 days before the start of the first cycle and on the 11th day of each cycle. Participants will have standard surgery to remove their tumors 3 to 6 weeks after completing the study treatment. They will have follow-up visits 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after their surgery. ...

De-Escalation Surgery After Immunotherapy in Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, non-inferiority clinical trial designed to evaluate whether downgraded surgery-guided by post-immunotherapy tumor boundaries-can achieve comparable 3-year overall survival (OS) to standard surgery in patients with Stage III-IVa locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who have responded to neoadjuvant immunotherapy. A total of 356 patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either downgraded or standard surgery, followed by risk-adapted adjuvant therapy. The primary endpoint is 3-year OS, with secondary endpoints including disease-free survival, quality of life, complication rates, and cost-effectiveness. The study hypothesizes that downgraded surgery will preserve organ function and quality of life without compromising survival outcomes.
