Plain-language summary
This is a phase 1b study in adult patients diagnosed with resistant or recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) designed to assess the safety and tolerability of IK-175 in combination with nivolumab. Disease response, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and response biomarkers will also be assessed.

Key Inclusion Criteria:
* Subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2.
* Subject has a histologically confirmed metastatic or locally incurable, recurrent HNSCC that has progressed within 12 weeks of initiation of PD-1 inhibitor agent, whether it was administered alone or in combination with chemotherapy.
* Tumors must express PD-L1 with a minimum CPS ≥ 1.
* Subjects can be enrolled regardless of their tumor's expression of human papillomavirus (HPV).
* Subjects are required to have received prior treatment with a platinum-based chemotherapy in the recurrent or metastatic disease setting, unless medically contraindicated.
* Subject has at least 1 measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1.
Key Exclusion Criteria:
* Subject has untreated or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) tumors or brain metastases.
* Subject must have recovered to ≤ Grade 1 from clinically significant AEs related to prior therapy (eg, myelosuppression or renal or hepatic dysfunction.)
* Subject has received prior treatment with an AHR inhibitor.
* Subject has a medical condition that limits oral administration or impairment of gastrointestinal function that is expected to significantly reduce the absorption of IK-175.
* Uncontrolled or life-threatening symptomatic concomitant disease.
* Clinically significant cardiovascular disease as defined in the protocol.
* Subject is on a medication that is a sensitive substrate of CYP2C8, 2C9, 2C19, or 3A4 that cannot be subs…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
