Brief Title: Neoadjuvant PD-1 Inhibitor Combined With Cetuximab in Operable Locally Advanced HNSCC
Official Title: A Single-Center, Single-Arm Exploratory Clinical Trial of Neoadjuvant PD-1 Inhibitor Combined With Cetuximab in Operable Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT05993858
Brief Summary: This is a single-center, single-arm, phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor combined with cetuximab in neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced HNSCC.
Detailed Description: At present, the standard treatment for patients with operable locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is adjuvant radiotherapy with or without platinum-based synchronous chemotherapy after operation. However, the risk of recurrence, metastasis and death remains high in this population with this intense combination treatment regimen. Both EGFR monoclonal antibody and PD-1 inhibitors have proven the effect in advanced HNSCC. At the same time, cetuximab and PD-1 inhibitors have been reported to have a synergistic effect that may improve patient survival. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of PD-1 inhibitor combined with cetuximab in neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced HNSCC.
