BioNTech SE is conducting a clinical trial titled An Open-label Phase II/III Randomized Trial of BNT113 in Combination With Pembrolizumab Versus Pembrolizumab Monotherapy as a First Line Therapy in Patients With Unresectable Recurrent, or Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) Which is Positive for Human Papilloma Virus 16 (HPV16+) and Expresses PD-L1. The study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and therapeutic effects of BNT113 combined with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab alone in treating HPV16+ HNSCC.
The trial tests the combination of BNT113, a biological agent administered via IV injection, with pembrolizumab, an IV infusion, against pembrolizumab monotherapy. The goal is to determine if the combination therapy offers superior outcomes for patients.
This interventional study follows a randomized, parallel assignment model without masking, focusing on treatment efficacy. It consists of two parts: an initial safety run-in phase and a randomized phase to assess efficacy and safety.
The study began on January 7, 2021, and is currently recruiting participants. The last update was submitted on July 10, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and potential market entry timelines.
The outcome of this study could significantly impact BioNTech’s stock performance, especially if the combination therapy proves more effective. This could enhance investor confidence and position BioNTech favorably against competitors in the oncology market.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
