Brief Summary

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

This is a phase 2, single-arm clinical trial, with the purpose to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of PD-1 Blockade camrelizumab combined with induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and as adjuvant monotherapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

All participants from 3 hospitals will receive induction camrelizumab therapy at least one cycle (every 3 weeks) followed by definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. After 4\~6 weeks of the completion of radiotherapy, adjuvant camrelizumab therapy will begin every 3 weeks for 16 cycles (1 year) or continue until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Camrelizumab plus chemoradiotherapy

Induction camrelizumab therapy at least one cycle (every 3 weeks) followed by definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. After 4\~6 weeks of the completion of radiotherapy, adjuvant camrelizumab therapy will begin every 3 weeks for 16 cycles (1 year) or continue until progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Camrelizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

200 mg, intravenous infusion over 30 minutes (Q3W); 1\~3 cycles of camrelizumab before radiotherapy and camrelizumab are maintained for 16 cycles (1 year) after the end of radiotherapy.

Concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy

Intervention Type DRUG

cisplatin is given at a dose of 40 mg/m2 via intravenous infusion during radiotherapy and starts on the 1st day of radiotherapy every week for 6 cycles.

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)

Intervention Type RADIATION

70 Gy/ 35 fractions/7 weeks, 5 fractions/week, 1 fraction/day.
