Study summary

This study is a single arm phase II trial including 30 patients with III-IVB (according to the 8th edition of UICC/AJCC staging) locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) eligible for resection, who receive Adebrelimab plus Dalpiciclib as neoadjuvant regimen before surgery.

This proposed study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative administration of Adebrelimab plus Dalpiciclib in HNSCC who are eligible for resection.

Read the detailed description

In this study, eligible patients will be enrolled into study arm to accept study treatment. Pathological response rate and objective response rate will be the primary outcome measures. Adverse events will also be recorded.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Treatment group

    Patients with resectable locally advanced head and neck squamous carcinoma cell carcinoma receive adebrelimab plus dalpiciclib before surgery.

    Drug: Adebrelimab and dalpiciclib

Interventions

  • DrugAdebrelimab and dalpiciclib

    Before surgery, the eligible patients received 3 cycles of adebrelimab (1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks, Day 1, 22 and 43) and 2 cycles of dalpiciclib (150 mg, po, every 4 weeks, day 1-21 and 29-49). Administration dose adjustments were permitted according to the haematological or non-haematological toxicity.

    Also known as: Dalpiclib hydroxyethanesulfonate tablets, Adebrelimab iniection

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pathological response rate

    The pathological response was evaluated by pTR (the appearance of tumor necrotic cells and keratin fragments with giant cell/tissue cell responses), including significant pathological response (Major pathological response, MPR, pTR-2 ≥ 50%), partial pathological response (Partial pathological response, PPR, pTR-1 10% -49%), and no pathological response (Non pathological response, NPR, pTR-0\<10%).

    Time frame: 1-year
