Inclusion Criteria:

-Participants must be ≥ 18 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of R/M HNSCC that is considered not amenable to further therapy with curative intent. The eligible primary tumor locations are oropharynx, oral cavity, hypopharynx, and larynx (nasopharynx is excluded).

Arm Description

Participants with HNSCC, who are treatment-naïve for R/M disease and have a PD-L1 Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1, will receive pembrolizumab followed by SAR444245. Both drugs administered by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day treatment cycle for up to 35 cycles.

Both drugs administered IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day treatment cycle for up to 35 cycles

Participants with R/M HNSCC, who are cetuximab-naïve, have received treatment with a platinum-based regimen, and have failed no more than 2 regimens for R/M disease, will receive treatment with cetuximab followed by SAR444245. Cetuximab IV will be given on days 1, 8, and 15 of each 21 day. SAR444245 will be administered by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day treatment cycle. Dosing of both drugs is to continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The is a phase 2 multi-cohort, non-randomized, open-label, multi-center study assessing the clinical benefit of SAR444245 combined with other anticancer therapies for the treatment of participants aged 18 years and older with HNSCC. This study is structured as a master protocol for the investigation of SAR444245 with other anticancer therapies. Substudy 1-Cohort A1 aims to establish proof-of-concept that SAR444245 combined with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab, will result in a significant increase in the observed number of objective responses in trial participants with HNSCC who are treatment-naïve for recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) disease. Substudy 4-Cohort B1 aims to establish proof-of-concept that SAR444245 combined with the anti-PD1 antibody pembrolizumab, will result in a significant increase in the observed number of objective responses in trial participants with HNSCC who have received treatment with PD1/PD-L1 and platinum-based regimen. Substudy 5-Cohort B2 aims to establish proof-of-concept that SAR444245 combined with cetuximab will result in a significant increase in the observed number of objective responses in trial participants with HNSCC previously treated with platinum-based regimen & cetuximab-naive after failure of no more than 2 regimens for recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) disease.
Detailed Description
The duration of the study for an individual patient will start from the signature of the main informed consent and include: a screening period of up to 28 days a treatment period [max 35 cycles {cohort A1 and B1} = 735 days or until PD {cohort B2}]; max 35 cycles for SAR444245 and pembrolizumab] an end-of-treatment visit at least approximately 30 days following the last administration of study drug (or until the patient receives another anticancer therapy, whichever is earlier) and a follow-up visits 3 months after treatment discontinuation and every 3 months thereafter following, until disease progression, or initiation of another antitumor treatment, or death, whichever is earlier
