About this study
Official title: A Randomized Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant PD-1 Blockade Alone or Plus TPF Induction Chemotherapy for Resectable Local Advanced Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade alone or neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade plus TPF induction chemotherapy in subjects with resectable local advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade alone or neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade plus TPF induction chemotherapy in subjects with resectable local advanced OSCC. And on this basis, we will explore the changes of the profiles and functions of immune cells within tumors, lymph nodes and peripheral blood after the experimental interventions, as well as their correlation with the patients' response and prognosis.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CamrelizumabDrug
Also called SHR-1210
The participants will receive camrelizumab (200 mg) intravenous infusion each 2-week cycle for 3 cycles prior to surgery.
Camrelizumanb plus TPFDrug
Also called Docetaxel, Cisplatin, 5-Fluorouracil
The participants will receive camrelizumab (200 mg) through intravenous infusion each 2-week cycle, and docetaxel (T) 75 mg/m2, cisplatin (P) 75 mg/m2, 5-Fluorouracil (F) 750 mg/m2 through intravenous infusion each 3-week cycle for 2 cycles.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade alone | Experimental | The participants will receive 3 doses of neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade. Then the participants will take a radical surgery followed by radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy if necessary. Receives: Drug: Camrelizumab |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pathologic Response.
Pathologic response of resected tumors and lymph nodes to neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade alone or neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade plus TPF induction chemotherapy. Hematoxylin and eosin (H\&E)-stained slides of entire tumor and all sampled lymph nodes were scanned and assessed by two independent pathologists. The entire tumor bed and all sampled lymph nodes were examined histologically in patients who had pathological complete response (pCR), which was defined as the absence of viable tumor in all slides. MPR was defined as the presence of 10% or less viable residual tumor in the resected tumor specimens. Pathological partial response (pPR) was defined as presence of more than 10% and less than 50% viable residual tumor and pathological non-response (pNR) was defined as presence of more than 50% viable residual tumor in the resected tumor specimens. Pathologic response was defined as sum of pCR and MPR.
Measured: 8 weeks.
Secondary outcomes (4)
Radiographic Response.
Radiographic response of tumors and lymph nodes to neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade alone or neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade plus TPF induction chemotherapy were evaluated by enhanced computed tomography examinations and defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Complete Response (CR) was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) was defined as >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Stable disease (SD) was defined as <20% increase and <30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as >=20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
Measured: 8 weeks.
Event-free Survival (EFS) Rate on Each Treatment Arm.
EFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of first record of disease progression as defined by RECIST 1.1.
Measured: 24 months.
Overall Survival (OS) on Each Treatment Arm.
OS is the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Measured: 24 months.
Adverse Events (AEs).
Number of participants experiencing any sign, symptom, disease, or worsening of preexisting conditions temporally associated with the experimental interventions or irrespective of the experimental interventions.
Measured: 24 months.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Apr 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pathologic Response. (time frame: 8 weeks.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04649476, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jan 2025.
