The webinar will feature a presentation by Julie E. Bauman, M.D., MPH, Professor of Medicine, Chief, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Deputy Director, University of Arizona Cancer Center. Dr. Bauman will discuss the current treatment landscape and unmet medical need in HNSCC and the results from a randomized confirmatory Phase 2 study of ficlatuzumab as a single agent or in combination with cetuximab (ERBITUX), an EGFR-targeted antibody, in patients who relapsed or were refractory to prior immunotherapy, chemotherapy, and cetuximab (pan-refractory) with metastatic HNSCC that were presented in a poster discussion at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting. Dr. Bauman will be available to answer questions following the formal presentations.
AVEO’s management team will provide an overview of the Company’s development plan for ficlatuzumab, for which it anticipates making a decision by mid-year on the initiation of a Phase 3 study in an HPV negative HNSCC patient population after receiving feedback from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
