About this study

Official title: Phase II Clinical Study of Sintilimab Combined With Platinum-based Chemotherapy and SBRT in the First-line Treatment of Limited Metastatic Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination of Sintilimab and SBRT on the basis of platinum-containing chemotherapy as the first-line treatment of limited metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LM-HNSCC).

Read the detailed description

For patients with LM-HNSCC, the conventional first-line treatment is EXTREME regimen dominated systemic therapy. In the recent era, immunotherapy has emerged to be the paramount issue for cancer treatment. A series of high-quality clinical studies demonstrated that immunotherapy (such as PD1 inhibitor) with or without chemotherapy (depending on CPS status) offered significant survival benefits to patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) HNSCC and the toxicities were well tolerated, whereas the PFS was still dismal. SBRT is associated with initiating release of tumor antigens, promoting DC activation, activating APCs, priming CD8+ CTLs, leading to the potential of abscopal effect. Therefore, we hypothesized that adding SBRT to Sintilimab (a PD1 inhibitor) and platinum-containing chemotherapy as the first-line treatment may improve the PFS for limited metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LM-HNSCC).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SintilimabDrug

    Also called Tyvyt®

    Sintilimab: 200mg, administered by intravenous infusion on the first day of each cycle, one cycle every 3 weeks (Q3W), with the maximum cycle of 17. Suspension of Sintilimab administration: patients's request, disease progression, researcher-evaluated SAE

  • SBRTRadiation

    Also called SABR

    At least one metastatic lesion is suitable for SBRT. If applicable, all metastatic lesions were allowed to be irradiated.

    Recommended dose: BED ≥ 80Gy. Dose fractionation is determined as per physician's discretion, generally depending on the location of irradiated lesion and the distance to surrounding OARs.

    Timing of SBRT: After completing at least 2 platinum-containing chemotherapy plus sintilimab treatments, SBRT can be started after assessing that there is no AE ≥ G2.

  • Platinum based chemotherapyDrug

    Also called chemotherapy

    Platinum based single or doublet chemotherapy, one cycle every 3 weeks (Q3W), 4-6 cycles.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

    The time from the date of first identification of response (CR or PR) to progression/death (P/D).

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  5. Time to progression of initial lesions (TPIL)

    The time from the first date of per-protocol treatment to progression of baseline lesions or death.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  6. Time to progression of new lesions (TPNL)

    The time from the first date of per-protocol treatment to the appearance of new lesion of tumor or death.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  7. Time to progression of non-irradiated lesions (TPNRL)

    Duration from the first date of per-protocol treatment to the specific progression of non-irradiated lesion or death.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  8. Adverse events

    Adverse event assessment according to NCI CTCAE 5.0, including AE, TEAE, SAE and irAE.

    Measured: Up to 2 years
