Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Camrelizumab plus chemoradiotherapy

Arm Description

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

EFFICACY Progress-free survival (PFS)
Defined as time from randomization to locoregional or distant metastasis relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.

Secondary Outcome Measures

EFFICACY Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival is measured from day of diagnosis until death due to any cause or the latest known date alive.
EFFICACY Objective response rate (ORR)
Defined as a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) from enrolled until disease progression or death due to any cause.
EFFICACY Duration of response (DOR)
Defined as the time from the first assessment of CR or PR to the first assessment of disease progression or death due to any cause.
SAFETY Incidence rate of adverse events (AEs)
Analysis of adverse events (AEs) are based on treatment-related AEs (trAEs) and immune-related AEs (irAEs), and all-grade AEs and grade 3-4 AEs, according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0.
QUALITY OF LIFE Quality of life (QoL): questionnaire
QoL is evaluated with the use of the head-and-neck-specific module (H&N35) of the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 module (QLQ-C30).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
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
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.
