Clinical Trial Summary

To explore the efficiency and safety of TP chemotherapy, tislelizumab, combined with afatinib as a new neoadjuvant treatment regimen for patients with resectable HNSCC.


Clinical Trial Description

More than 60% of patients with Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have locally advanced or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, with a 5-year overall survival rate of less than 60%. The clinical outcomes of those patients still need to be improved. Neoadjuvant therapy theoretically could reduce tumor volume, increase organ retention rate, and improve clinical prognosis. However, results from several phase III clinical trials have not proved a significant survival benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with resectable HNSCC except for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. There is an urgent need to explore new neoadjuvant treatment options for those patients. Immunotherapy such as PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have shown excellent efficiency in the treatment of malignancies. Anti-PD-1 therapy is approved as the first-line treatment of recurrent/metastatic HNSCC. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy for the treatment of locally advanced and resectable HNSCC has been demonstrated to be feasible in some trials. Afatinib, as an irreversible ErbB tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has been used as the second-line treatment for recurrent and/or metastatic HNSCC. A previous study published in 2018 confirmed that afatinib can be administered safely before surgery. In summary, we designed this study to explore the efficiency and safety of chemotherapy (TP regimen), anti-PD1 immunotherapy (tislelizumab), combined with EGFR-TKI (afatinib) as a new neoadjuvant treatment regimen for patients with resectable HNSCC, aiming to provide a new treatment option for those patients. ;
