A Study of Amivantamab Alone or in Addition to Other Treatment Agents in Participants With Head and Neck Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine safety and preliminary efficacy of amivantamab monotherapy, amivantamab in addition to pembrolizumab, amivantamab in addition to paclitaxel and amivantamab in addition to pembrolizumab and carboplatin in participants with recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer. The study will also confirm the recommended Phase 2 combination dose (RP2CD) for amivantamab in addition to paclitaxel. The safety and preliminary efficacy of amivantamab in addition to pembrolizumab will also be determined in perioperative (before and after surgery) setting in participants with resectable locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

  2. Cohort 3A: Number of Participants With Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT)

    Time frame: Up to 21 days

    Number of participants with DLTs will be reported. A DLT is defined as any of the following: treatment delay of greater than (>) 28 days due to unresolved toxicity, non-hematologic toxicity of Grade 3 or higher, hematologic toxicity of Grade 4 neutropenia persisting for >7 days or Grade 3 or higher thrombocytopenia with clinically significant bleeding or neutropenic fever of any grade, and liver enzyme elevation.
