Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) represent a significant breakthrough in treating head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), with long-lasting responses and prolonged survival observed in first- and second-line therapy. However, this is observed in < 20% of patients and high primary/secondary resistance may occur. The primary objective of the identification of predictive factors for the response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (IPRICE) study is to identify predictive factors of response to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy.

However, these advances have encountered significant challenges to ensure fluent interactions and sustain human motivation through the different steps of joint action. After exploring current literature on joint action in HRI, leading to a more precise definition of these challenges, the present article proposes some perspectives borrowed from psychology and philosophy showing the key role of communication in human interactions.
