Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck | Unmet Need | US/EU | 2021

For the past decade, Erbitux-based regimens have been the mainstay of treatment for recurrent or metastatic non-nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), but the launches of Merck & Co.’s Keytruda and Bristol Myers Squibb’s Opdivo are transforming the SCCHN treatment algorithm. However, despite the label expansions of these immune checkpoint inhibitors to include recurrent or metastatic non-nasopharyngeal SCCHN, more-efficacious first-line treatment options are needed to address the unmet needs pertaining to this subpopulation of SCCHN.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

  • What are the treatment drivers and goals in medical oncologists’ prescribing decisions for non-nasopharyngeal SCCHN?
  • What are the hidden opportunities that developers could leverage?
  • How do current therapies for non-nasopharyngeal SCCHN, such as Keytruda and Opdivo, perform on key clinical attributes for this patient population?
  • What are the greatest unmet needs and most attractive opportunities in the treatment of non-nasopharyngeal SCCHN?
  • What trade-offs are surveyed oncologists willing to make across key drug attributes and price when considering hypothetical target product profiles for non-nasopharyngeal SCCHN?
