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 assess the safety, tolerability, and therapeutic effects of BNT113 combined with pembrolizumab compared to pembrolizumab alone in treating HPV16+ HNSCC.
The trial tests BNT113, a biological intervention administered via IV injection, in combination with pembrolizumab, an IV infusion, to enhance treatment efficacy for patients with specific head and neck cancer types.
This interventional study is randomized with a parallel assignment, focusing on treatment as its primary purpose. It is open-label, meaning no masking is involved, and consists of two parts: a Safety Run-In Phase and a Randomized Phase.
The study began on January 7, 2021, and is currently recruiting participants. The last update was submitted on August 11, 2025. These dates are crucial as they indicate the study’s progress and timeline for potential results.
For investors, this study’s progress could influence BioNTech’s stock performance, especially if the results show significant efficacy of the BNT113 combination. This could position BioNTech favorably against competitors in the oncology space, potentially boosting investor confidence.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
