Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Response | 9 weeks | CR assessed by investigator, according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST1.1) from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Complete response defined as the complete disappearance of the target and non-target lesion(s) identified at baseline after radiological evaluation by Magnetic Resonance Imaging. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Survival(OS) | 3 years | defined as the time from the date of enrollment to death from any cause or censored at the date of last follow-up. |
| Locoregional failure-free survival(LRRFS) | 3 years | defined as the time from the date of enrollment to local or regional relapse, or death from any cause. |
| Distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS) | 3 years | defined as the time from the date of enrollment to distant metastasis, or death from any cause. |
| Number of participants with adverse events | up to 3 years | Numbers of patients of treatment-related adverse events were assessed by CTCAE v5.0. |
| Quality of life (QoL): questionnaire | Week 1,9,16,28 | QoL is evaluated with the use of the head-and-neck-specific module (H\&N35) of the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 module (QLQ-C30), which is established by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC). Scores for the module range of H\&N35 QLQ-C30 from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better functioning or well-being or higher symptom burden (scales measuring symptom burden were reverse-scored to facilitate presentation) |
