Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
Given the feasibility of induction chemotherapy in oral cancer and the encouraging remission rates achieved, we explore the clinical application prospects of using tislelizumab in combination with traditional standard chemotherapy as induction treatment in oral cancer patients who have no radiological evidence of mandibular erosion but require mandibulectomy due to the tumor's proximity to the mandible, aiming to shrink tumor size and increase the rate of mandible preservation. Therefore, we propose to conduct a prospective, single-arm, single-center phase II exploratory clinical trial: we plan to select patients with locally advanced resectable primary oral squamous cell carcinoma T3-4N0-3M0 (stages III-IVb, excluding T1-2) after multidisciplinary consultation and assessment by imaging and clinical evaluation. We aim to explore the feasibility of a three-week treatment regimen combining tislelizumab with polyaletin paclitaxel and a platinum-based triplet, preliminarily assess its clinical efficacy, adverse reactions, and postoperative mandible preservation rate, to provide the best comprehensive treatment plan for the preservation rate of the mandible in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Inclusion Criteria: Patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of untreated primary oral squamous cell carcinoma, originating from the buccal mucosa, gums, tongue, or floor of the mouth, with clinical imaging confirming no mandibular invasion. Even in the absence of mandibular invasion, patients must still require mandibular segment resection. Clinical staging should be T3-4N0-3M0 (Stage III-IVb, excluding T1-2) according to the AJCC 8th edition staging. Patients must be aged between 18 and 70 years. Performance Status (PS) score should be 0-1. Evaluation by a head and neck oncologist should confirm eligibility for surgical resection. Patients should have at least one evaluable lesion according to RECIST V1.1 criteria. Adequate organ function is defined as follows: Hematology: White blood cells ≥ 4000/μL, neutrophils ≥ 2,000/μL, hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/dL, platelets ≥ 100,000/μL. Liver function: Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (patients with known Gilbert's disease and serum bilirubin levels ≤ 3 times ULN may be eligible), AST and ALT ≤ 3 times ULN, and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3 times ULN, with albumin ≥ 3 g/dL. Renal function: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min according to the Cockcroft-Gault formula. Coagulation parameters (APTT and INR) should be ≤ 1.5 × ULN (patients on stable anticoagulation therapy such as low molecular weight heparin or warfarin within the expected therapeutic range may be screened). Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) should be ≤ ULN. If abnormal, T3 and T4 levels should be assessed, and patients with normal T3 and T4 levels may be eligible. Patients must have provided informed consent and must be willing and able to adhere to the study plan, visit schedule, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other study procedures. Reproductive-age females must agree to use contraceptive measures (e.g., intrauterine device, birth control pills, or condoms) during the treatment period and for three months after treatment completion. A negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days before study entry is required, and patients must not be breastfeeding. Male patients must also agree to use contraceptive measures during the study and for three months after study completion.
