Study summary

This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab and tislelizumab in combination with investigational agent(s) in first-line recurrent or metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Read the detailed description

This study will test whether tislelizumab alone and combined with other investigational agents can be used to improve treatment outcomes in participants with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The main goals of the study are to determine how many participants may no longer have evidence of cancer or have some improvement in the signs and symptoms of cancer after treatment and to determine what adverse events, or side effects, participants might experience.

Tislelizumab is used to block the programmed cell death protein-1 pathway so that immune system cells (T-cells) can better protect the body from infection and find tumor cells to attack. Tislelizumab may be used in combination with other therapies as a promising approach with potential therapeutic benefits to treat participants with cancer. The study will enroll approximately 160 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, similar to flipping a coin) to one of the various treatment groups. Tislelizumab and investigational agents will be administered as an infusion through a vein at regularly scheduled intervals.

The study will take place at multiple centers worldwide. Treatments will continue until participants experience no benefits, too many side effects, or withdraw consent.

Note: Other inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

PD-1, PD-L1 and checkpoint inhibitors

PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.

PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as percentage of participants who have a confirmed complete response (CR) or a confirmed partial response (PR) as assessed by the investigators using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Complete response is defined as disappearance of all target lesions, disappearance of all nontarget lesions and normalization of tumor marker level, and no new lesions. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, no unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, and no new lesions.

    Time frame: Up to 21.2 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) assessed by the investigators per RECIST v1.1 or death, whichever occurred first. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions, or new lesions.

    Time frame: Up to 21.2 months

  2. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR is defined as the time from the first determination of a confirmed response per RECIST v1.1 until the first documentation of progression or death, whichever occurred first.

    Time frame: Up to 21.2 months

  3. Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)

    CBR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of a confirmed CR, a confirmed PR, or durable stable disease (SD) (SD duration ≥ 24 weeks). SD is defined as neither sufficient decrease in size of target lesions to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, no progressive disease in nontarget lesions, and no new lesions.

    Time frame: Up to 21.2 months

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of a confirmed CR, a confirmed PR, or SD.

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — BeiGene shares data on completed studies responsibly and provides qualified scientific and medical researchers access to data and supporting documentation for clinical trials in dossiers for medicines and indications after submission and approval in the United States, China, and Europe. Clinical trials supporting subsequent local approvals, new indications, or combination products are eligible for sharing once corresponding regulatory approvals are achieved. BeiGene shares data only when permitted by applicable data privacy and security laws and regulations, when it is feasible to do so without compromising the privacy of study participants, and other considerations. Qualified researchers with appropriate competencies who are engaged in novel scientific research may submit a request for participant-level data with a research proposal for BeiGene review. Research teams must include a biostatistician and sign a Data Sharing Agreement prior to receiving access to clinical trial data.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Aug 2023 to primary completion in Jun 2025, 22 months.

Results were first posted in Jul 2026, 1 year after primary completion.

Of 68 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck, half reached primary completion within 43 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 30 and three quarters within 60. This study's 22 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 366 studies reached it within 53 months; a quarter within 35 and three quarters within 82.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 1, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
