Summary

This trial will see if it's safe to use MEDI0562, a humanized OX40 agonist, before surgery for people with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma or stage IIIb/IIIC melanoma who are candidates for surgery. They must have a life expectancy over 12 weeks, acceptable organ function, no major surgeries within the last 28 days, and not be on immunosuppressive meds recently. Women must test negative for pregnancy and agree to contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial studies MEDI0562, an OX40 agonist, in patients before they undergo surgical removal of their cancer. It aims to assess the safety of this drug when given prior to surgery and whether it's feasible as a pre-operative treatment option.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, similar drugs often cause immune-related reactions such as inflammation in various organs, skin rashes or itching, fatigue, possible infusion-related symptoms like fever or chills, and may affect liver enzymes.
