What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pathological complete response (pCR)
Pathological examination of the resected tissue samples did not reveal any residual tumor cells.
Measured: Six months
Secondary outcomes (9)
Major pathological response (MPR)
Major pathological response (MPR) is defined as the presence of active tumor tissue in surgical specimens ≤10% at the time of tumor resection.
Measured: six months
Surgical R0 resection rate
The proportion of the resection margin without residual cancer cells
Measured: Six months
Laryngeal function retention rate
It refers to the proportion of subjects whose laryngeal functions (including vocalization, breathing and swallowing functions) are successfully preserved during the treatment process through methods such as surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or comprehensive treatment.
Measured: six months
The intensity of the surgery has decreased
The researchers determined whether the surgical intensity had decreased based on the subjects' conditions.
Measured: six months
Objective response rate (ORR)
It refers to the proportion of all subjects whose best overall response (BOR) was rated as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the RECIST 1.1 standard.
Measured: one year
Disease Control rate (DCR)
It refers to the proportion of all subjects whose overall response rate (BOR) was rated as complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) according to the RECIST 1.1 standard.
Measured: One year
Recurrence-free survival time (RFS)
It refers to the period from the date of successful surgery to recurrence or death.
Measured: Two years
Overall survival (OS)
Defined as the period from the date of the first administration to the death of the subject for various reasons.
Measured: Two years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Adebrelimab+Albumin paclitaxel +Cisplatin in people with Locally Advanced Hypopharyngeal Cancer, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University at 1 site in China.
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 10 inclusion and 15 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 Aug 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?
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?
Contact Sangang Wu (15960208092, wusg@xmu.edu.xn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Pathological complete response (pCR) (time frame: Six months). 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 Aug 2025.
