Filter by:The response rate of HNSCC to immune checkpoint blockade was not satisfied. Improving the mPR rate of neoadjuvant immunotherapy through the combination with other treatment methods is an important way to further improve the prognosis of such patients. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of PD-1 monoclonal antibody with neoadjvant SBRT and chemotherapy. The triple mode not only can Increase the effectiveness of neoadjuvant therapy，meanwhile，the in situ tumor vaccine inoculation effect generated by enhancing the release of specific antigens after tumor radiotherapy with PD-1 monoclonal antibody achieves a sustained anti-tumor immune effect throughout the body， reducing postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The triple mode has important exploratory value in achieving high quality and long-term survival for patients, and may provides a more efficient mode for locally advanced HNSCC.
The study is to explore the efficacy and safety of SCT200 with SCT-I10A or SCT200 combined with paclitaxel/docetaxel in the treatment of recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
This study was designed as a prospective, multicenter and randomized clinical study of radiotherapy combined with Nedaplatin contrast and cisplatin for local advanced head and neck squamous SCC, aiming to explore the efficacy, safety and long-term efficacy of this trial and control groups and provide some evidence for the selection of clinical treatment options.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is an important disease with the incidence of 6th all over the world. In Taiwan it is the fifth of male cancer mortality. Most of the patients were middle age and the impact for economy and society was incredible. For recurrent or metastatic HNSCC, the average life span was around 4-6 months. Most patients just can receive chemotherapy. However the chemotherapy can't have any survival benefit. Recently a study showed the Cetuximab plus chemotherapy with cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil had survival benefit in the recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. However in Taiwan, the cetuximab can't be given by health insurance for the patients of the situation. A lot of investigations recently showed the B lymphocytes got involvements in the squamous cell carcinoma carcinogenesis and tumor progression. In addition the B cell will influence the tumor associated macrophages and myeloid derived suppressor cells. Those immune cells could decrease the affect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thus the B cell depletion has the possibility to develop a new treatment policy. Therefore investigators create a pilot clinical trial using Rituximab plus chemotherapy with cisplatin and gemcitabine for recurrent or metastatic HNSCC.
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessel from existing vessels, is essential for tumor growth and metastasis. Antiangiogenic therapies inhibit the growth of genetically stable endothelial cells, and most tumors should starve to death with little acquired resistance. Endostatin has been shown to block endothelial cell proliferation, survival, and migration. Antitumor activity of endostatin protein has been demonstrated in various murine and human tumors in animal model studies without any detectable toxicity. Endostatin gene therapy could directly express the highly bioactive protein in vivo by means of the mechanism of eukaryotic expression system as post-translational modification and folding, as well as overcoming the challenge of the long-term storage and the cumbersome daily administration of endostatin protein. E10A is a replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus containing a wild-type human endostatin transgene constructed from serotype 5 adenovirus (Ad5). Preclinical studies demonstrated that intratumoral injection of E10A provided significant tumor growth inhibition and sustained elevation of endostatin in blood and tumor tissue in hepatocellular carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and tongue cancer animal models. A Phase I clinical trial of E10A we conducted showed that repetitive intratumoral injection of E10A resulted in a small and sustained elevation of endostatin in blood and had a mild antitumor activities with very limited toxicity. The major toxicity was transient and manageable fever. A randomized Phase III trial in nonsmall-cell lung cancer showed endostatin improved response rate and time to tumor progression in combination to chemotherapy. Therefore, we designed a randomized phase II trial to explore the safety and effectiveness of E10A combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer.
