Key Takeaways from the Head and Neck Cancer Pipeline Report
- In June 2025, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center announced a clinical research study is to learn if giving the new drug, Tarceva® (OSI-774), in combination with Platinol® (cisplatin) and Taxotere® (docetaxel) is effective in the treatment of metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
- In June 2025, University of Colorado, Denver conducted a Phase Ib/II Study of NT219 in Combination With Pembrolizumab or Cetuximab in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)
- In May 2025, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center announced a clinical research study is to learn if RAD001 in combination with Tarceva (erlotinib hydrochloride) can help to control head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). The safety of this drug combination will also be studied.
- In May 2025, Ascendis Pharma A/S conducted a study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TransCon TLR7/8 Agonist, TransCon IL-2 β/γ, and pembrolizumab given prior to curative intent surgery in treatment of participants with newly diagnosed Stage III/IVA resectable locoregionally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC). After surgery, participants will receive local standard-of-care treatment and will be followed for safety, efficacy, and survival for up to 2 years.

Head and Neck Cancer Emerging Drugs Profile
- Petosemtamab: Merus
Petosemtamab, or MCLA-158, is a Biclonics® low-fucose human full-length IgG1 antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the leucine-rich repeat containing G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (LGR5). Petosemtamab is designed to exhibit three independent mechanisms of action including inhibition of EGFR-dependent signaling, LGR5 binding leading to EGFR internalization and degradation in cancer cells, and enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) activity. Petosemtamab granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the US FDA for 1L PD-L1 positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of Head and Neck cancer (HNC).
- Ficerafusp alfa: Bicara Therapeutics
Ficerafusp alfa is a first-in-class bifunctional antibody that combines two clinically validated targets: an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) directed monoclonal antibody with a domain that binds to human transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). Through this dual-targeting mechanism, ficerafusp alfa has the potential to exert potent anti-tumor activity by simultaneously blocking both cancer cell-intrinsic EGFR survival and proliferation, as well as the immunosuppressive TGF-b signaling within the tumor microenvironment. Currently, the drug is in Phase II/III stage of its development for the treatment of Head and Neck cancer (HNC).
- Tipifarnib: Kura Oncology, Inc
Tipifarnib, is an inhibitor of farnesylation, a key cell signaling process implicated in cancer initiation and development. In extensive clinical trials, tipifarnib has shown a well-established safety profile and compelling and durable anti-cancer activity in certain patient subsets. Preclinical and clinical data suggest that, in the appropriate context, tipifarnib has the potential to provide significant benefit to cancer patients with limited treatment options. In addition to its development program in solid tumors with HRAS mutations, Kura has identified potential biomarkers of activity for tipifarnib in hematologic malignancies, including peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCL), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of Head and Neck cancer (HNC).
- VCN-01: Theriva Biologics
VCN-01 (zabilugene almadenorepvec) is a systemically administered oncolytic adenovirus designed to selectively and aggressively replicate within tumor cells and degrade the tumor stroma that serves as a significant physical and immunosuppressive barrier to cancer treatment. This unique mode-of-action enables VCN-01 to exert multiple antitumor effects by (i) selectively infecting and lysing tumor cells; (ii) enhancing the access and perfusion of co-administered chemotherapy products; and (iii) increasing tumor immunogenicity and exposing the tumor to the patient’s immune system and co-administered immunotherapy products. Systemic administration enables VCN-01 to exert its actions on both the primary tumor and metastases. VCN-01 has been administered to over 140 patients to date in clinical trials of different cancers, including PDAC (in combination with chemotherapy), head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (with an immune checkpoint inhibitor), ovarian cancer (with CAR-T cell therapy), colorectal cancer, and retinoblastoma (by intravitreal injection). Currently, the drug is in Phase I/II stage of its development for the treatment of Head and Neck cancer (HNC).
- VB10.16: Nykode Therapeutics ASA
VB10.16 is a potentially first-in-class off-the-shelf therapeutic DNA-based cancer vaccine candidate in development for the treatment of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16)-positive cancers. The cancer vaccine is designed based on Nykode’s Vaccibody™ technology platform of targeting antigens to antigen presenting cells. The vaccine-induced significant HPV16-specific T cell responses in clinical studies that were correlated with clinical responses. Currently, the drug is in Phase I/II stage of its development for the treatment of Head and Neck cancer (HNC).
- CUE 101: Cue Biopharma
CUE-101 is a fusion protein designed to activate and expand tumor-specific T cells, directly in the patient’s body, that target Human Papilloma 16 (HPV16)-driven malignancies. It contains IL-2 and a pMHC composed of HLA-A*02:01 complexed with a dominant peptide derived from the E7 protein of human papilloma virus 16 (HPV 16-E7). CUE-101 is the lead immuno-oncology drug developed within the IL-2 based CUE-100 framework from Cue Biopharma’s novel Immuno-STAT™ (Selective Targeting and Alteration of T cells) platform technology. In November 2018, LG Chem Life Sciences partnered with Cue Biopharma to develop and commercialize cancer immunotherapy drugs based on the Immuno-STAT platform technology. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of its development for the treatment of Head and Neck cancer (HNC).
