Safety and Efficacy of Tipifarnib in Head and Neck Cancer With HRAS Mutations and Impact of HRAS on Response to Therapy
18 Years and older, Male and Female
KO-TIP-007 (primary)
NCI-2018-02535
Summary
An international, multicenter, open-label, 2 cohort, non-comparative, pivotal study
evaluating the efficacy of tipifarnib in HRAS mutant HNSCC (AIM-HN). The first cohort will
assess the objective response rate (ORR) of tipifarnib in subjects with HNSCC with HRAS
mutations. The second study cohort, SEQ-HN, is an observational sub-study including HNSCC
patients in whom HRAS mutations were not identified (wild type HRAS HNSCC) and who consent to
provide first line outcome data and additional follow up.
Objectives
KO-TIP-007 is an international, multicenter, open-label, 2 cohort, non-comparative, pivotal
study evaluating the efficacy of tipifarnib in HRAS mutant HNSCC (AIM-HN) and the impact of
HRAS mutations on response to first line systemic therapies for HNSCC (SEQ-HN). KO-TIP-007
has 2 study cohorts. The first study cohort, named AIM-HN, includes HNSCC subjects with HRAS
mutations. AIM-HN subjects will receive treatment with tipifarnib and the outcome of this
cohort will be evaluated for ORR by an independent review facility.
The second study cohort, SEQ-HN, is an observational sub-study including HNSCC patients in
whom HRAS mutations were not identified (wild type HRAS HNSCC) and who consent to provide
first line outcome data and additional follow up.
HNSCC patients in whom HRAS mutations are identified and who meet eligibility criteria will
be offered participation in AIM-HN. HNSCC patients in whom HRAS mutations are not identified
may participate in SEQ-HN only. These patients will be followed and the comparison of
outcomes of HRAS mutant and HRAS wild type HNSCC will address the exploratory objective to
determine the effect of HRAS mutation on the ORR of first line systemic therapy in patients
with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC. Outcome data from subsequent lines of therapy will be
collected.

8. Other protocol defined inclusion criteria may apply.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Histologically confirmed salivary gland, thyroid, (primary) cutaneous squamous or
nonsquamous histologies (e.g. mucosal melanoma).

metastatic HNSCC.
4. HRAS wildtype (i.e., have no identified tumor missense HRAS mutation).
5. Other protocol defined inclusion criteria may apply

**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts...
