About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Head and Neck Cancer focused on measuring Unresected, Combination with CRT, Stage III, Stage IVA, Stage IVB, Oropharynx, Hypopharynx, Larynx

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Participants having an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Score (ECOG PS) of 0 - 1 Histologically confirmed diagnosis in previously untreated Locally Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and neck (LA SCCHN) patient (Stage III, IVA, or IVB according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC]/ Tumor Nodes and metastases (TNM) Staging System, 8th Edition) suitable for definitive Chemoradiotherapy (CRT), with one of the following primary sites: oropharynx (OPC) Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-negative, hypopharynx, and larynx Participant should be able to swallow liquids or has an adequately functioning feeding tube, gastrostomy, or jejunostomy in place. For participants requiring liquid nutrition at baseline or during the study including the follow-up period, access to liquid nutrition supply should be ensured Participant with evaluable tumor burden (measurable and/or non-measurable tumor lesions) assessed by CT scan and/or MRI, based on RECIST v 1.1. Adequate hematological, hepatic, and renal function as defined in the protocol Other protocol defined inclusion criteria could apply Exclusion Criteria: Primary tumor of nasopharyngeal, paranasal sinuses, nasal, or oral cavity, salivary, thyroid, or parathyroid gland pathologies, skin, or unknown primary site Metastatic disease (Stage IVC as per AJCC/TNM, 8th Edition) Existing need of a hearing aid or greater than or equal to (>=) 25 decibel shift over 2 contiguous frequencies on a pretreatment hearing test as clinically indicated Known history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). If unknown history of HIV, an HIV screening test is to be performed and participants with positive serology for HIV-1/2 must be excluded Known gastrointestinal disorder with clinically established malabsorption syndrome and major gastrointestinal surgery in the last 12 months that may limit oral absorption Other protocol defined exclusion criteria could apply

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Xevinapant + Cisplatin + IMRT

Arm Description

Participants will receive first 3 cycles of xevinapant once daily in combination therapy with weekly cisplatin and radiotherapy and 3 cycle of monotherapy of xevinapant from Day 1 to Day 14, per 3-week cycle (Each cycle is of 3 weeks).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants with Dose limiting toxicity (DLT)-like events

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Treatment-Related AEs (TRAE)
Absolute changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)
Objective Response (OR) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) version 1.1 criteria as assessed by Investigator
Progression Free Survival (PFS) According to RECIST version 1.1 Criteria as Assessed by Investigator
Locoregional Control (LRC) According to RECIST version 1.1 Criteria As assessed by Investigator
LRC is defined as the time from date of the first treatment until date of the first occurrence of progression at the site of the primary tumor or the locoregional lymph nodes.
