Study of MEDI0562 Prior to Surgical Resection in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) or Melanoma

This clinical trial is the first to evaluate the safety and feasibility of a humanized OX40
agonist, MEDI0562, in the pre-operative setting for patients with head and neck squamous cell
carcinoma or melanoma.

Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two MEDI0562 administration schedules; initially
5 patients will enroll to each cohort. All patients will have a tumor biopsy before
administration of MEDI0562 and surgery will be performed on approximately day 15 (+/- 2
days).

There will be a comparison of a surgical specimen to the original biopsy focusing on the
composition and immunologic phenotypes of lymphocyte subsets. Although the primary endpoint
of this study is immunological, valuable exploratory data on clinical outcomes will also be
obtained.

Both the HNSCC and the melanoma patients to be enrolled on this trial are anticipated to have
a 50 - 90% probability of recurrence within 5 years after surgery, even with current
state-of-the-art post-surgical adjuvant radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. A
recurrence of 25% or less within the 12 months after surgery will be deemed of clinical
interest and would inform the design of a larger follow-up study.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Involvement in the planning and/or conduct of the study (applies to both
AstraZeneca/MedImmune staff and/or staff at the study site)

- Concurrent enrollment in another clinical study, unless it is an observational
(non-interventional) clinical study or during the follow-up period of an
interventional study

- Receipt of any investigational anticancer therapy during the last 28 days or 5
half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to the first dose of study treatment

- Any concurrent chemotherapy, investigational agent, biologic, or hormonal therapy for
cancer treatment -- concurrent use of hormonal therapy for non-cancer-related
conditions (e.g., hormone replacement therapy) is acceptable.

- Local treatment of isolated lesions for palliative intent is acceptable (e.g., local
surgery or radiotherapy). -Radiotherapy treatment to more than 30% of the bone marrow
or with a wide field of radiation within 4 weeks of the first dose of study drug.
Note: Local treatment of isolated lesions, excluding target lesions, for palliative
intent is acceptable. -Major surgical procedure (as defined by the Investigator)
within 28 days prior to the first dose of IP. Note: Local surgery of isolated lesions
for palliative intent is acceptable. -History of allogenic organ transplantation.

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active
infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable
angina pectoris, unstable cardiac arrhythmia, interstitial lung disease, serious
chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric
illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement,
substantially increase risk of incurring AEs, or compromise the ability of the patient
to give written informed consent -History of another primary malignancy except for:

- Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥1.5
years before the first dose of investigational product and of low potential risk
for recurrence

- Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence
of disease

- Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease -History of
leptomeningeal carcinomatosis -Untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases
and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Note: patients whose brain metastases have been
treated may participate provided they show radiographic stability (imaging at
least four weeks apart showing no evidence of intracranial progression). In
addition, any neurologic symptoms that developed either as a result of the brain
metastases or their treatment must have resolved or be stable either without the
use of steroids or are stable on a steroid dose of ≤10mg/day of prednisone or its
equivalent and anti-seizure medications for at least 14 days prior to the start
of treatment. Patients on a stable dose of seizure medicines for epilepsy
unrelated to cancer are eligible for the trial.

- Active or recent history of diverticulitis. Note: Patients with known diverticulosis
are permitted to enroll.

- History of active primary immunodeficiency. -Active infection, including tuberculosis
(clinical evaluation that includes clinical history, physical examination, and
radiographic findings, and TB testing in line with local practice); hepatitis B (known
positive HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) result); hepatitis C; or human immunodeficiency
virus (positive HIV 1/2 antibodies). Note: patients with a past or resolved HBV
infection (defined as the presence of hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc] and absence
of HBsAg) are eligible. Patients positive for hepatitis C (HCV) antibody are eligible
only if polymerase chain reaction is negative for HCV RNA. Patients with treated HIV,
as evidenced by stable CD4 > 200 for at least 6 months, are eligible. -Current or
prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of
study drug. The following are exceptions to this criterion: • Intranasal, inhaled,
topical steroids, or local steroid injections (e.g., intra articular injection)

• Systemic corticosteroids at physiologic doses not to exceed 10 mg/day of prednisone
or its equivalent

- Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders (including
inflammatory bowel disease [e.g., colitis or Crohn's disease]; diverticulitis [with

or Wegener syndrome [granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Graves' disease, rheumatoid
arthritis, hypophysitis, uveitis, etc]). The following are exceptions to this
criterion:

following Hashimoto syndrome) stable on hormone replacement • Any chronic skin
condition that does not require systemic therapy • Patients without active
