HPV16-Targeted Immunotherapy Is Set to Personalize HNSCC Management: With Kevin Harrington, MD, PhD, FRCP, FRCR, FRSB

Welcome to OncLive On Air^®! I’m your host today, Ashling Wahner.

OncLive On Air is a podcast from OncLive^®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, supported by PDS Biotech, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kevin Harrington, MD, PhD, FRCP, FRCR, FRSB, about the role of PDS0101 (Versamune HPV) in patients with human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16)–positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Dr Harrington is head of the Division of Radiotherapy and Imaging at The Institute of Cancer Research in London, United Kingdom, as well as a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Radiologists.

In our exclusive interview, Dr Harrington discussed current unmet needs for patients with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC, the rationale for the continued investigation of PDS0101 plus pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in patients with HPV16-positive HNSCC, and how the ongoing phase 3 VERSATILE-003 trial may change the treatment paradigm for patients with this disease.
