About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomised Controlled, Phase II Clinical Study of Tirilizumab in Combination with Albumin-bound Paclitaxel with Cisplatin for Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Treatment of Locally Advanced Resectable Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The dosing regimen in the trial group was: tirilizumab with albumin-bound paclitaxel and cisplatin for 3 preoperative Cycles. After neoadjuvant therapy, patients underwent surgery and were stratified according to pathological conditions after surgery; if significant pathological remission (MPR) was achieved, 6 cycles of adjuvant therapy with tirilizumab monotherapy (concurrent radiochemotherapy was available for those with high-risk factors) were performed; if MPR was not achieved, concurrent radiochemotherapy was performed.

Control regimen: patients underwent direct surgical treatment, with postoperative radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy depending on the presence or absence of histological or pathological high-risk factors.

Read the detailed description

The dosing regimen in the trial group was: tirilizumab administered by intravenous drip (no prophylaxis required) at a fixed dose of 200 mg. each infusion was given for 30 min (not less than 20 min and not more than 60 min) every 3 weeks, and 3 preoperative cycles of albumin-bound paclitaxel 260 mg/m2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m2 on d1, with 1 cycle every 21 days; 3 preoperative Cycles. After neoadjuvant therapy, patients underwent surgery and were stratified according to pathological conditions after surgery; if significant pathological remission (MPR) was achieved, 6 cycles of adjuvant therapy with tirilizumab monotherapy (concurrent radiochemotherapy was available for those with high-risk factors) were performed; if MPR was not achieved, concurrent radiochemotherapy was performed.

Control regimen: patients underwent direct surgical treatment, with postoperative radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy depending on the presence or absence of histological or pathological high-risk factors.

What is being measured

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

  1. 2 year events free survival rate

    the percentage of participants documented PD per RECIST 1.1 from enrollment in the neoadjuvant stage, or recurrent or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: up to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. overall survival

    OS was defined as the time from enrollment to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of the final analysis were censored at the date of the last follow-up.

    Measured: 36 months

  2. Number of Participants Experiencing an Adverse Event (AE)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product was also an AE. The number of participants that experienced at least one AE was reported for each treatment arm.

    Measured: 36 months

  3. Quality of life EORTC QLQ-C30 scale

    The EORTC-QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire developed to assess the quality of life of cancer patients. Participant responses to the GHS question "How would you rate your overall health during the past week?" (Item 29) and the QoL question "How would you rate your overall quality of life during the past week?" (Item 30) were scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent)

    Measured: 36 months

  4. MPR rate

    the percentage of participants viable tumour cells remaining in the tumour bed after neoadjuvant therapy ≤10%, regardless of the presence or absence of viable tumour cells in the lymph nodes

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing tirilizumab with albumin-bound paclitaxel and cisplatin and surgery in people with Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma, run by Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong 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 3 inclusion and 3 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Feb 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 Yanan Wang, M.D. (13764278464, wangyan_an@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

2 year events free survival rate (time frame: up to 36 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 11 Feb 2025.
