Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on Independent Central Review (ICR)
30 months following first randomized participant

PFS is defined as time from randomization to local-regional progression (including recurrence), distant progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) Using Independent Central Review (ICR) Assessment
Up to 2 Years and 2 months

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 using ICR assessments.

Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity
Up to approximately 2 years 14 weeks

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. Severity of AEs will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version (v) 5.0.

Secondary Endpoints

Overall Survival (OS)
48 months following first randomized participant
Local-regional control
48 months following first randomized participant

Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Arm A: JNJ-90301900 (NBTXR3)EXPERIMENTALJNJ-90301900 (NBTXR3), as an intratumoral/intranodal injection, activated by investigator's choice of RT alone or RT in combination with cetuximab. JNJ-90301900 (NBTXR3) is given as a dose of 33% of the Gross Tumor Volume.
Arm B: RT alone or RT in combination with cetuximabACTIVE_COMPARATORInvestigator's choice of RT alone or RT in combination with cetuximab.
Part 1: Cohort A and Cohort BEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive JNJ-90301900 injected intratumorally and/or intranodally (cohort A: 22% gross tumor volume \[GTV\] and cohort B: 33% GTV) along with cCRT (concurrent chemotherapy with radiation therapy) followed by consolidation immunotherapy (cIT) to evaluate feasibility of JNJ-90301900 injection procedure.
Part 2: Arm A and Arm BEXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive JNJ-90301900 injected intratumorally and/or intranodally (Arm A: 22% GTV and Arm B: 33% GTV) along with cCRT followed by cIT to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNJ-90301900.
Part 2: Arm C: (Control treatment)ACTIVE_COMPARATORParticipants will receive treatment with cCRT followed by cIT as control treatment to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JNJ-90301900.
JNJ-90301900 + Concurrent Chemoradiation Therapy (cCRT)EXPERIMENTALParticipants will receive JNJ-90301900 administered intratumorally and/or intranodally, in combination with concurrent chemoradiation therapy (cCRT) consisting of platinum based chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin/paclitaxel) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Post-treatment follow-up will continue until the end of study (EOS), radiographic disease progression, study discontinuation, or study completion, whichever occurs first.
