Brief Summary
This is a multi-center, open-label, Phase 0 substudy designed to evaluate the localized pharmacodynamics (PD) of rilvegostomig, volrustomig, sabestomig, and AZD9592 within the tumor microenvironment (TME) when administered intratumorally in microdose quantities via the CIVO device in patients presenting with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) with a surface accessible lesion, who are scheduled for tumor and/or regional node dissection as part of their standard treatment. PD effects due to injected investigational agents, either as single agents or as AZD9592 drug combinations with the evaluated biologics, will be compared to those elicited by pembrolizumab alone, which will also be injected in microdose quantities via the CIVO device.
Brief Title
PBI-MST-01 (NCT04541108) Substudy AZN-05: Intratumoral Microdosing of Rilvegostomig, Volrustomig, Sabestomig, and AZD9592 in HNSCC
Detailed Description
The CIVO Microdose Injection Device (MID) simultaneously delivers multiple drugs and drug combinations (Up to 8), each in microdose amounts, into a single patient tumor and enables comparisons of the resulting biomarker responses that occurred while that tumor was still in the native microenvironment. AstraZeneca is developing three novel assets: rilvegostomig, volrustomig, and sabestomig, all of which are bispecific monoclonal antibodies designed to stimulate antitumor immunity. In this Phase 0 clinical trial, the PD effects of these investigational assets in the TME of patients presenting with HNSCC will be evaluated. These investigational assets will be injected alone in microdose quantities at tumor sites in HNSCC patients. Pembrolizumab, also used therapeutically in this patient population, will be included in the CIVO injection array administered as a single agent. In addition, microdoses of AZD9592, a novel antibody drug conjugate (ADC), alone or in combinations with the evaluated biologics will also be assessed. The CIVO-injected portion of the tissue will be analyzed for localized response at sites of drug exposure in the TME.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent. Voluntary written consent must be given before performance of any study related procedure not part of standard medical care, with the understanding that consent may be withdrawn by the patient at any time without prejudice to future medical care.
2. Male or female ≥ 18 years of age at Visit 1 (Screening).
3. Pathologic diagnosis of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) of the oropharynx, hypopharynx, oral cavity, or larynx.
4. Ability and willingness to comply with the study's visits and assessment schedule.
5. At least one lesion (primary tumor, recurrent tumor, metastasis, or metastatic lymph node) that is surface accessible for CIVO injection that contains viable minimum tumor tissue volume and characteristics (e.g., based on clinical evaluation, available pre-operative imaging, pre-injection ultrasound imaging, or pathology reports indicating lesion with appropriate viable tumor volume without excessive cysts or necrosis) and for which there is a planned surgical intervention. The patient's presentation, surgical and pathology plan may determine whether a lesion is eligible with respect to a given CIVO MID needle configuration.

* Agree to practice effective barrier contraception from the time of signing the ICF until 7 months after the CIVO injection OR agree to completely abstain from heterosexual intercourse.
* Agree to refrain from fathering a child or donating sperm until 7 months after the CIVO injection.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Tumors and/or effaced nodes that are anticipated by the Investigator to lack a sufficient volume of viable tumor tissue (Based on available pre-operative imaging, pre-injection ultrasound imaging, or pathology reports) for CIVO microdose injection due to necrosis, cysts, excessive stroma, fibrosis, or treatment-induced tissue changes.
2. Tumors near or involving critical structures for which, in the opinion of the treating clinician, injection would pose undue risk to the patient.
3. Prior exposure to immune-mediated therapy including, but not limited to, other anti-CTLA-4, anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-PD-L2 antibodies within the last 5 years.
4. Previous treatment with another ADC containing a chemotherapeutic agent that inhibits topoisomerase 1 activity or with another epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and/or mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-MET) targeted ADC.
