Purpose

Evaluation of the combination of avelumab + bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214 ) in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck ( metastatic SCCHN) and avelumab + bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) + talazoparib or enzalutamide in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Detailed Description

Phase 1b/ Phase 2 Design Phase 1b will be the sequential dose-finding study. Once the Phase 1b component is completed, Phase 2 will be initiated to further evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity across combinations of therapy. Combination A will enroll participants with SCCHN. Combination B and C will enroll participants with mCRPC
