| NCT01836029 | Chemotherapy Plus Cetuximab in Combination With VTX-2337 in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck | PHASE2 | COMPLETED | 195 | — | — | Oct 14, 2013 | Sep 19, 2016 | Oct 29, 2019 | 53 | United States |
PFS was based on central assessment by a blinded independent radiologist per immune related response evaluation criteria for solid tumors (irRECIST) and was summarized and displayed by treatment arm using Kaplan-Meier methods. Treatments were compared using a stratified log-rank test controlling for randomization stratification factors. The hazard ratio between the 2 treatment arms, as well as the associated one-sided 90% CI and p-value, were presented using a Cox proportional hazards regression model.
