Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Tislelizumab + Pulse radiation

Arm Description

Participants receive pulsed radiationtherapy concurrent with 3 cycles of Tislelizumab followed by an additional 32 cycles of Tislelizumab alone as maintenance therapy.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Objective response rate (ORR) using iRECIST 1.1 criteria
ORR is defined as the proportion of patients who achieved a best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using iRECIST 1.1 criteria, and will be evaluated for both the lesion(s) treated with RT, referred to as "Target lesion (RT+ Tisle), as well as the lesion(s) not treated with RT (if applicable), referred to as "Target lesion (Tisle only)", per the prescribed treatment.
Adverse Events (AEs)
Number of participants experiencing any sign, symptom, disease, or worsening of preexisting condition temporally associated with study therapy and irrespective of causality to study therapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Duration of Response (DOR)
The time between the date of first confirmed response to the date of the first documented tumor progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is the average length of time after the start of treatment in which a person is alive, and their cancer does not grow or spread. PFS is defined as the time from day 1 of treatment until the criteria for disease progression is met as defined by RECIST1.1 or death as a result of any cause.
Change From Baseline Quality of Life (GHS/QoL)
Change from baseline in QoL using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Head and Neck Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H&N35)
