Study Summary

Exploring the efficacy and safety of Tislelizumab combined with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) as neoadjuvant treatment for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pathologically confirmed, initially treated, surgically resectable head and necksquamous cell carcinoma.

  • Clinical stage III to IVB (AJCC 8th edition), except HPV-positive oropharyngealcancer

  • Following multidisciplinary discussions involving otolaryngologists and radiationoncologists, the assessment concluded that the tumor is resectable or marginallyresectable and suitable for preoperative SBRT

  • Karnofsky Performance Status score ≥ 70

  • Ages 18 to 70

  • The primary organ functions meet the test requirements

  • Patients participate voluntarily and sign informed consent forms

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients previously treated with head and neck surgery were excluded from diagnosticbiopsies of primary and regional lymph nodes

  • Previous chemotherapy for any reason, or radiotherapy in the head and neck area, ormolecular targeted drug therapy; Previously received anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1,anti-PD-L2 and other drugs or drugs acting on another irritating or co-inhibitory Tcell receptor (such as CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137) treatment, or cell biotherapy

  • Pregnant or lactating women

  • Have had or co-had other malignancies

  • The patient also has a serious, uncontrolled illness

  • Heart, brain, lung and other important organ function abnormal. Patients withhypertension (systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure >90 mmHg)who cannot be reduced to the normal range by antihypertensive drugs have grade I orabove myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, and grade II cardiacinsufficiency; Abnormal coagulation function (INR >1.5 or prothrombin time (PT) >ULN+4 seconds or APTT >1.5 ULN), have a tendency to bleed or are receivingthrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy; Have a definite bleeding tendency; Patientswith positive urinary protein (urinary protein test 2+ or more, or 24-hour urinaryprotein quantification >1.0g)

  • Glucocorticoid therapy for 30 days prior to initial administration (prednisoneequivalent dose > 10mg daily); Have an active autoimmune disease that has requiredsystemic treatment (i.e., disease-modulating drugs, corticosteroids, orimmunosuppressive drugs) in the last 2 years

  • History of non-infectious pneumonia requiring corticosteroid treatment within 1 yearprior to the first dose administration or current presence of interstitial lungdisease

  • Active infections such as tuberculosis that require systemic treatment

  • A known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (i.e. HIV 1/2antibody positive)

  • Untreated active hepatitis B; Note: Hepatitis B subjects who met the followingcriteria were also eligible for inclusion: HBV viral load must be <1000 copies /ml (200 IU/ml) prior to initial dosing, and subjects should receive anti-HBV therapy toavoid viral reactivation throughout study chemotherapeutic therapy. Subjects withanti-HBC (+), HBsAg (-), anti-HBS (-) and HBV viral load (-) do not need to receiveprophylactic anti-HBV therapy, but need to closely monitor viral reactivation.Active HCV-infected subjects (HCV antibody positive and HCV-RNA levels above thelower limit of detection)

  • Patients who have a history of psychotropic substance abuse and cannot abstain orhave mental disorders

  • The investigator determines other circumstances that may affect the conduct of theclinical study and the determination of the study results

  • While participating in another therapeutic clinical study
