Brief summary: A phase I/II clinical study of JS004 in subjects with head and neck cancer in China, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, immunogenicity, antitumor activity and biomarkers of JS004, define the RP2D. A cycle is 21 days (3 weeks) which includes JS004 being administered IV Q3W and JS004 combine with JS001 being administered IV Q3W. All patients will be treated until disease progression per RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST, or intolerable toxicity per CTCAE 5.0, withdrawal of consent, or end of the study, whichever occurs first.Disease progression must be confirmed at least 4 weeks but no longer than 8 weeks after initial documentation of progression.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion criteria:

1.Males and females ≥ 18 and ≤ 80 years of age; 2.Recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck and nasopharyngeal carcinoma confirmed histologically or cytologically are no longer suitable for local treatment such as surgery or radiotherapy； 3.Has received at least a first-line standard regimen for relapsed and metastatic disease and has progressed during or after treatment; 4.The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) had a physical status score of 0 or 1. 5.Life expectancy ≥12 weeks; 6.At least one measurable lesion per RECISTv1.1 and iRECIST; 7.Willingness to provide consent for fresh pre-treatment biopsies, or,an archival specimen could be required within two years prior to the first dose of study drug; 8.Adequate organ and marrow function per protocol specifically defined; 9.Females of childbearing potential ,and males who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential, must use effective contraception from time of screening, and must agree to continue using such precautions for 60 days after the final dose of JS004; 10.All acute toxic reactions caused by previous anti-tumor therapy, surgery or radiotherapy were alleviated to grade 0-1 (according to NCI-CTCAE version 5.0) or to the level specified by the inclusion/exclusion criteria.Except for hair loss, pigmentation, or other toxicity that the researcher believes does not pose a safety risk to the subject, and does not affect treatment compliance. 11.Able to understand and willing to sign the Informed Consent Form;

4. Received systemic immunomodulatory drug treatment within 14 days before the first study administration or within 5 half-lives of the drug;
5. Received systemic corticosteroids or other systemic immunosuppressants within 14 days before the first study administration;
6. Received oral or intravenous antibiotic treatment within 14 days before the first study administration (except for the case of prophylactic use of antibiotics);
