Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to use the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitor of Toripalimab, and chemotherapy agents of TP, as a neoadjuvant therapy to treat the patients with locally advanced OSCC, followed with radical surgery and post-operative radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy, the major pathological response and safety will be evaluated as the primary surrogate endpoints, the 2-year survival rate and local recurrence rate will be the second endpoints.
Detailed Description
In patients with locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), comprehensive treatment is recommended, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and others. Pre-operative neoadjuvant therapy can reduce tumor burden, increase organ preservation rate, and reduce distant metastasis rate. Pre-operative neoadjuvant therapy with paclitaxcel and cisplatin (TP) has been used as one of recommended protocols in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell caricnoma, including OSCC. Anti-PD1/PD-L1 immunotherapies have achieved exciting clinical outcomes in several malignancies, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, and so on. Recently, pre-operative neoadjuvant therapy with combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy agents has been used with good pathological response, which might transfer to good clinical prognosis in patients with malignancies. However, pre-operative neoadjuvant therapy with combination of anti-PD1 and TP in OSCC patients has not been reported. The innovation of this study is the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitor of Toripalimab, and chemotherapy agents of TP, as a neoadjuvant therapy to treat the patients with locally advanced OSCC, followed with radical surgery and post-operative radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy, the major pathological response and safety will be evaluated as the primary surrogate endpoints, the 2-year survival rate and local recurrence rate will be the second endpoints.

Arms & Interventions
Neoadjuvant therapy with Toripalimab, Paclitaxcel and Cisplatin
Pre-operative neoadjuvant therapy will be used with the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitor of Toripalimab, and chemotherapy agents of paclitaxcel and cisplatin in patients with locally advanced OSCC. After inductive therapy, the patients will receive radical surgery and post-operative radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy.
Intervention: Toripalimab

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Major pathological response
Time Frame: One year
Major pathological response is based on the pathological examination on the post-operative specimens after neoadjuvant therapy.
Secondary Outcomes
- 2-year overall survival(Two years)
- 2-year tumor recurrence rate(Two years)
