Summary:

      The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of investigational medical
      products (MEDI4736 monotherapy, tremelimumab monotherapy, and MEDI4736 + tremelimumab

      the head and neck who have progressed during or after treatment with a platinum containing
      regimen for recurrent/metastatic disease.
