About this study

In this study, 200 patients with resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (T3 or T4, N0) were enrolled and preoperatively combined with pembrolizumab (PD-1 inhibitor), carboplatin, and albumin-binding paclitaxel. The subjects were randomly divided 1:1 into four treatments and two treatments. The imaging and pathological changes of tumor and paracancer tissues before and after treatment were observed. Clinical information, such as pathological grade, stage, treatment, prognosis, serology, imaging, etc., was collected to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 4-course pembrolizumab combined with carboplatin and albumin-binding paclitaxel compared with 2-course neoadjuvant therapy for resectable oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. This is a prospective, one-arm, phase II clinical study. Main purpose By calculating pathological complete response (pCR) in the experimental group, we evaluated the efficacy (optimality) of four courses of pembrolizumab combined with carboplatin and albumin-binding paclitaxel compared with two courses of neoadjuvant therapy for resectable oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (T3 or T4, N0). At the same time, this study evaluated the safety of medication, specifically: The severity of adverse events associated with neoadjuvant therapy will be graded according to NCI CTCAE (version 5.0) during this study and during follow-up, and the occurrence of adverse events in the experimental and control groups will be compared.
