About this study

Official title: Neoadjuvant Adebrelimab Plus Dalpiciclib in HPV-negative Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Phase II Clinical Trial

This study is a single arm phase II trial including 30 patients with III-IVB (according to the 8th edition of UICC/AJCC staging) locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) eligible for resection, who receive Adebrelimab plus Dalpiciclib as neoadjuvant regimen before surgery.

This proposed study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative administration of Adebrelimab plus Dalpiciclib in HNSCC who are eligible for resection.

Read the detailed description

In this study, eligible patients will be enrolled into study arm to accept study treatment. Pathological response rate and objective response rate will be the primary outcome measures. Adverse events will also be recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • Adebrelimab and dalpiciclibDrug

    Also called Dalpiclib hydroxyethanesulfonate tablets, Adebrelimab iniection

    Before surgery, the eligible patients received 3 cycles of adebrelimab (1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks, Day 1, 22 and 43) and 2 cycles of dalpiciclib (150 mg, po, every 4 weeks, day 1-21 and 29-49). Administration dose adjustments were permitted according to the haematological or non-haematological toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pathological response rate

    The pathological response was evaluated by pTR (the appearance of tumor necrotic cells and keratin fragments with giant cell/tissue cell responses), including significant pathological response (Major pathological response, MPR, pTR-2 ≥ 50%), partial pathological response (Partial pathological response, PPR, pTR-1 10% -49%), and no pathological response (Non pathological response, NPR, pTR-0<10%).

    Measured: 1-year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Adebrelimab and dalpiciclib in people with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Zhongzheng Xiang.

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 14 inclusion and 18 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Pathological response rate (time frame: 1-year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Jan 2024.
