Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal carcinoma are exquisitely radiosensitive. Several studies attempted to reduce the toxicities of treatments through reduced-dose radiation and showed promising results, but all data were collected from non-Chinese areas. Like nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), oropharyngeal carcinoma may have different biological behavior and relationship with HPV infection. So the investigators studied whether toxicities reducing treatment with reduced radiation dose and omitted concurrent chemotherapy after good response to induction chemotherapy would maintain survival outcomes while improving tolerability for patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have proved to improve outcomes of head and neck cancers including EBV-related NPC. Oropharyngeal carcinoma was considered to be similar with NPC in terms of immune environment. So we added anti-PD-1 antibody Toripalimab to induction chemotherapy in order to achieve better response rates to receive de-escalation chemoradiotherapy followed.
