Résumé

Pembrolizumab and cetuximab are antibodies under investigation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) either as single agents or combined with cisplatin and other chemotherapeutic drugs, e.g., 5-fluorouracil and/or docetaxel. However, also the combination of both antibodies may have potential in recurrent/metastatic (R/M) HNSCC, in particular in cisplatin-resistant or -refractory cases or patients with comorbid disease, e.g. patients with impaired renal function. To clarify potential benefit that may result from such combination, we used the FLAVINO assay, a short-time We detected huge heterogeneity in response to cetuximab, pembrolizumab and both combined with and without IFN-γ stimulation. Moreover, we detected a link between IFN-γ induced IP-10 release and improved outcome in those HNSCC patients who were capable to respond to IFN-γ and pembrolizumab, cetuximab and both combined with a further increase in IP-10 production. We derived an "IP-10 score" that independent from clinical characteristics of HNSCC patients and therapy regimens applied was able to predict their outcome. The heterogeneity in the
