Combining Adebrelimab and TP Regimen for Treating Advanced Oral Cancer

A Single Arm, Exploratory Clinical Study of the Combination of Adebrelimab and TP Regimen for Neoadjuvant Therapy in Patients With Stage IVB Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Clinical Practice

This study is testing if combining a new drug called Adebrelimab with a standard treatment can help people with advanced oral cancer before they have surgery.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combining Adebrelimab with a TP regimen as neoadjuvant therapy for patients with clinical IVB stage oral squamous cell carcinoma. Participants will receive two cycles of this treatment before undergoing surgery, followed by additional radiotherapy and chemotherapy based on their condition. The study will monitor outcomes over a total follow-up period of two years to assess the impact of this combination therapy on patient health.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients diagnosed with clinical IVB stage oral squamous cell carcinoma who have not received prior treatment.

Not a fit: Patients with prior treatments for oral squamous cell carcinoma or those with significantly compromised organ function may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve treatment outcomes for patients with advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma.

How similar studies have performed: While this specific combination is novel, similar approaches using immunotherapy in advanced cancers have shown promising results in other studies.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Oral squamous cell carcinoma patients diagnosed by histology or cytology;
2. Has not received any treatment for oral squamous cell carcinoma in the past;
3. According to the AJCC TNM staging system, stage clinical IVB;
4. ECOG score: 0-1 points;
5. Expected survival time ≥ 12 weeks;

The main organ function is good, and the laboratory test data meets the following standards: (1) Blood routine: Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L (or greater than the lower limit of normal values in the research center laboratory), platelet count ≥ 100 × 109/L, hemoglobin ≥ 90g/L; (2) Liver function: serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of the standard value (ULN), AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 times the ULN. If the patient has liver metastasis, this standard is ≤ 5 times the ULN; (3) Renal function: CrCl ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (calculated according to Cockcroft Gault formula);
7. Female participants with fertility, as well as male participants with partners who are fertile women, are required to use a medically recognized contraceptive measure (such as an intrauterine device, contraceptive pill, or condom) during the study treatment period, and at least 6 months after the last use of adelbizumab and at least 6 months after the last use of chemotherapy;
8. Voluntarily participate in this study, sign an informed consent form, have good compliance, and cooperate with follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. There are uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or abdominal effusion that require repeated drainage;
2. Have a history of allergies to any components of adelbizumab in the past;
3. Have received any of the following treatments:

   1. Received any other investigational medication within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the investigational medication, or had a half-life of no more than 5 weeks from the last investigational medication;
   2. Simultaneously enroll in another clinical study, unless it is an observational (non intervention) clinical study or an intervention clinical study follow-up;
   3. Received anti-tumor therapy (including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, biological therapy, or tumor embolization) within 2 weeks prior to the first use of the investigational drug;
   4. Subjects who need to receive corticosteroids (\>10mg prednisone equivalent dose per day) within 2 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug. Allow the use of hormones for routine chemotherapy pretreatment without the need for dose adjustment. Other special circumstances require communication with the researcher. In the absence of active autoimmune diseases, it is allowed to inhale or locally use steroids and adrenal cortex hormone replacement with a dose greater than 10mg/day of prednisone efficacy dose;
   5. Individuals who have received anti-tumor vaccines or have received live vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of the investigational drug;
   6. Having undergone major surgery or severe trauma within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the investigational drug;
   7. Patients who have previously received treatment with paclitaxel drugs;
4. The toxicity of previous anti-tumor treatments has not recovered to ≤ CTCAE 5.0 level 1 (excluding hair loss) or the level specified by the inclusion/exclusion criteria;
5. A history of active autoimmune diseases and autoimmune diseases (such as interstitial pneumonia, colitis, hepatitis, pituitary inflammation, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, including but not limited to the above diseases or syndromes); Excluding patients with vitiligo or childhood asthma/allergies who have already recovered and do not require any intervention in adulthood; Autoimmune mediated hypothyroidism treated with stable doses of thyroid replacement hormone; Type I diabetes with a stable dose of insulin;
6. Have a history of immune deficiency, including HIV test positive, or have other acquired or congenital immune deficiency diseases, or have a history of organ transplantation and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, or active hepatitis (hepatitis B reference: HBV DNA test value exceeds 500 IU/ml or 2500 copies/mL);
7. The subjects have uncontrolled cardiovascular clinical symptoms or diseases, including but not limited to: (1) NYHA grade II or above heart failure; (2) Unstable angina pectoris; (3) Have experienced myocardial infarction within one year; (4) Clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias that have not been clinically intervened or are still poorly controlled after clinical intervention;
8. Serious infections (CTCAE 5.0\>Level 2) occurred within 4 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug, such as severe pneumonia, bacteremia, and infection complications that require hospitalization treatment; Baseline chest imaging examination suggests the presence of active pulmonary inflammation, symptoms and signs of infection within 2 weeks prior to the first use of the study drug, or the need for oral or intravenous antibiotic treatment, excluding prophylactic use of antibiotics;
9. History of interstitial lung disease (excluding radiation pneumonia and non infectious pneumonia that have not been treated with steroids);
10. Patients who have been diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis infection through medical history or CT examination, or have a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection within one year before enrollment, or have a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection more than one year before but have not received formal treatment;
11. Diagnosed with any other malignant tumor within the 5 years prior to the first use of the investigational drug, excluding malignant tumors with low risk of metastasis and mortality (5-year survival rate\>90%), such as basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ that has been adequately treated;
12. Pregnant or lactating women;
13. According to the researcher\'s judgment, there are other factors that may cause the subject to be forced to terminate the study midway, such as other serious illnesses (including mental illness) requiring concurrent treatment, severe abnormalities in laboratory test values, family or social factors, which may affect the safety of the subject or the collection of trial data.
