Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade alone or neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade plus TPF induction chemotherapy in subjects with resectable local advanced OSCC. And on this basis, we will explore the changes of the profiles and functions of immune cells within tumors, lymph nodes and peripheral blood after the experimental interventions, as well as their correlation with the patients' response and prognosis.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pathologic Response.
Time Frame: 8 weeks.
Pathologic response of resected tumors and lymph nodes to neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade alone or neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade plus TPF induction chemotherapy. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained slides of entire tumor and all sampled lymph nodes were scanned and assessed by two independent pathologists. The entire tumor bed and all sampled lymph nodes were examined histologically in patients who had pathological complete response (pCR), which was defined as the absence of viable tumor in all slides. MPR was defined as the presence of 10% or less viable residual tumor in the resected tumor specimens. Pathological partial response (pPR) was defined as presence of more than 10% and less than 50% viable residual tumor and pathological non-response (pNR) was defined as presence of more than 50% viable residual tumor in the resected tumor specimens. Pathologic response was defined as sum of pCR and MPR.
8 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Event-free Survival (EFS) Rate on Each Treatment Arm.
Time Frame: 24 months.
EFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of first record of disease progression as defined by RECIST 1.1.
24 months.
Overall Survival (OS) on Each Treatment Arm.
Time Frame: 24 months.
OS is the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
24 months.
Adverse Events (AEs).
Time Frame: 24 months.
Number of participants experiencing any sign, symptom, disease, or worsening of preexisting conditions temporally associated with the experimental interventions or irrespective of the experimental interventions.
24 months.
Radiographic Response.
Time Frame: 8 weeks.
Radiographic response of tumors and lymph nodes to neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade alone or neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade plus TPF induction chemotherapy were evaluated by enhanced computed tomography examinations and defined by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Complete Response (CR) was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) was defined as >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Stable disease (SD) was defined as <20% increase and <30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Progressive disease (PD) was defined as >=20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
8 weeks.

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in the Level of Circualting Exosomal PD-L1.
Time Frame: 24 months.
