About this study
Official title: A Randomized, 2-Arm Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CRB-701 Compared With Investigator's Choice of Capecitabine, Cetuximab, or Docetaxel in Participants With Recurrent or Metastatic Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Previously Treated With Platinum-based Chemotherapy and a PD-(L)1 Inhibitor
The goal of this study is to understand whether CRB-701, a targeted form of chemotherapy called an anti-body drug conjugate, will work as a treatment for oropharyngeal (throat, tonsil) cancer. In patients who have already received platinum based chemotherapy or immunotherapy (using a check-point inhibitor) It will also learn about the safety of the drug and measure quality of life. The main questions it asks are:
- What proportion of participants respond to CRB-701 measured using scans (CT or MRI)
- What medical problems do participants experience when taking CRB-701.

Researchers will compare CRB-701 with standard of care medicines (drugs that are normally used this disease).
Participants will:
- Attend clinic every three weeks to receive infusions of CRB-701 or standard of care medicines until the cancer cannot be measured or is not controlled by the treatment they are receiving.
- Have a CT or MRI every 6 weeks to measure the effect on their cancer
- Complete questionnaires to assess their health status.

Change in baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 functional and symptom scales
Change from baseline in functional and symptom scales on the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. All individual functions and symptoms are measured on a scale ranging 1-4.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing CRB-701, capcitabine and Cetuximab (EGFR inhibitor) in people with Oropharyngeal Carcinoma (OPC), run by Corbus Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 111 sites in 14 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 111 sites in United States, United Kingdom, South Korea, Spain, France and 9 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Clinical Study Coordinator (1+(216) 444-8950, clinical@corbuspharma.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Objective Response Rate (%) (time frame: Up to 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Oct 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
