Observational cohort SEQ-HN. Study title:
The AIM-HN and SEQ-HN Study: A 2 Cohort, Non-comparative, Pivotal Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Tipifarnib in Patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) with HRAS Mutations (AIM-HN) and the Impact of HRAS Mutations on Response to First Line Systemic Therapies for HNSCC (SEQ-HN).

systemic treatment in patients with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC.
To determine if treatment outcomes differ (PFS, DOR) with first line
systemic therapy in patients with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC with and

| E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
AIM-HN
1.At least 18 years of age
2.Histologically confirmed head&neck cancer (oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, sinonasal, nasopharyngeal, or unknown primary) of squamous histology not amenable to local therapy with curative intent (surgery or radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy). Enrollment may proceed with local diagnosis but all subj. must consent to provide tumor tissue for central pathology review.
3.Documented treatment failure from most recent prior therapy (eg. tumor progression, clinical deterioration, or recurrence), and from at
least one prior platinum-containing regimen, in any treatment setting.
The most recent prior and platinum-based therapy may be the same
regimen. Those subj. who, at judgment of investigator, are
considered clinically unsuitable to receive standard platinum-containing regimen may also be enrolled and the reason for clinical nsuitability recorded. There is no limit on number of prior lines of therapy.
4.Known tumor missense HRAS mutation detected by Next Generation
Sequencing (NGS) or any other methodology approved by Sponsor.
Variant allele frequency (VAF) needs to be determined and must be
available. HRAS status should be assessed on tumor tissue obtained
subsequent to the most recent prior therapy so that the most accurate
tumor biology is evaluated. If tumor tissue that does not meet this
criterion must be used (eg.risk of new biopsy is too high,patient refuses
new biopsy), the investigator should document the reason. Enrollment may proceed with the identification of a missense HRAS mutation using a test preferred by Investigator and approved by Sponsor during pre-screening, but all subj. must consent to provide tumor tissue for
central HRAS confirmation.
a) At least 59 per protocol subj. must have a VAF ≥20%
b) No more than approx. 21 per protocol subj. may have a VAF of <20%.
5.Measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 that meets the criteria for
selection as a target lesion according to RECIST v1.1.
6.At least 2 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, since the last
systemic therapy regimen prior to C1D1. Last dose of any prior
checkpoint inhibitor therapy must have been administered at least 2
weeks prior to C1D1.
7.At least 2 weeks since last radiotherapy. Subj. must have recovered
from all acute toxicities from radiotherapy.
8.ECOG perform. status of 0-1.
9.Acceptable liver function:
a)Bilirubin less or equal 1.5 times upper limit of normal (x ULN);
b)AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) less or equal 1.5 x ULN. The subject must
meet/continue to meet these criteria at the time of first dosing, as
confirmed by analysis within 72 hours of C1D1.
10.Acceptable renal function with either serum creatinine less or equal
1.5 x ULN or a calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min using the
Cockcroft-Gault or Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD)
formulas. The subj. must meet/continue to meet these criteria at the
time of first dosing, as confirmed by analysis within 72 hours of C1D1.
11.Acceptable hematologic status:
a)ANC ≥ 1000 cells/μL.
b)Platelet count ≥ 75,000/μL.
c)Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL.
The subject must meet/continue to meet these criteria at the time of
first dosing, as confirmed by review of analysis performed within 72
hours of C1D1.
12.Female subj. must be:
a)Of non-child-bearing potential (surgically sterilized or at least 2 years
post-menopausal); or
b)If of child-bearing potential, subj. must use a highly effective method
of contraception or sexual abstinence. Both females and male subj. with
female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use a highly
effective method of contraception from the first dose of tipifarnib, during
tipifarnib treatment, and at least 28 days after last dose of tipifarnib for
females and 90 days for males. Female subj. must have a negative serum
or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to start of trial medication.
c)Not breast feeding at any time during the study.
13.Written and voluntary informed consent understood, signed and
dated.

determined by a test preferred by the Investigator and approved by the
Sponsor or through central HRAS testing.
4.Will or has received at least one systemic anti-cancer therapy for
recurrent or metastatic HNSCC for which there is available outcome
