    This is a multi-institutional phase 2 clinical trial to determine the overall efficacy of cetuximab plus nivolumab in patients with recurrent/metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) Survival rate (OS)
    .

    Patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma were recruited and treated with cetuximab (500 mg/m2) + nivolumab (240 mg) for 24 courses
    .


    The primary endpoint was one-year overall survival (OS)



    Overall survival of cohorts A and B


    Overall survival of cohorts A and B

    A total of 95 patients were recruited, 88 of whom were included in the overall survival analysis and divided into two cohorts based on prior treatment: Cohort A (n=45), previously treated for R/M HNSCC; Cohort B (n=43), who had not received relevant treatment before
    .


    With a median follow-up of 15.
    9 months, the median overall survival in cohort A was 11.
    4 months, and the one-year overall survival rate was 50%


    The median overall survival in cohort A was 11.



    p16 negativity was associated with higher response rates p16 negativity was associated with higher response rates In p16-positive patients, HPV DNA counts were lower than those with higher HPV DNA loads than higher response rates (p= 0.
