Brief summary

This is a phase 2, single-arm clinical trial, with the purpose to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of PD-1 Blockade camrelizumab combined with induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and as adjuvant monotherapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Detailed description

All participants from 3 hospitals will receive induction camrelizumab therapy at least one cycle (every 3 weeks) followed by definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. After 4\ 6 weeks of the completion of radiotherapy, adjuvant camrelizumab therapy will begin every 3 weeks for 16 cycles (1 year) or continue until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Interventions

DRUGCamrelizumab

200 mg, intravenous infusion over 30 minutes (Q3W); 1\~3 cycles of camrelizumab before radiotherapy and camrelizumab are maintained for 16 cycles (1 year) after the end of radiotherapy.

DRUGConcurrent cisplatin chemotherapy

cisplatin is given at a dose of 40 mg/m2 via intravenous infusion during radiotherapy and starts on the 1st day of radiotherapy every week for 6 cycles.

70 Gy/ 35 fractions/7 weeks, 5 fractions/week, 1 fraction/day.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
EFFICACY Progress-free survival (PFS)2 yearsDefined as time from randomization to locoregional or distant metastasis relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
EFFICACY Overall survival (OS)2 yearsOverall survival is measured from day of diagnosis until death due to any cause or the latest known date alive.
EFFICACY Objective response rate (ORR)2 yearsDefined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) from enrolled until disease progression or death due to any cause.
EFFICACY Duration of response (DOR)2 yearsDefined as the time from the first assessment of CR or PR to the first assessment of disease progression or death due to any cause.
SAFETY Incidence rate of adverse events (AEs)2 yearsAnalysis of adverse events (AEs) are based on treatment-related AEs (trAEs) and immune-related AEs (irAEs), and all-grade AEs and grade 3-4 AEs, according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0.
