Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 2-year Disease-Free Survival Rate

    The 2-year DFS rate was defined as the rate of progression or death due to disease recurrence within 2 years.

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • 2-year overall survival rate

    2 years

  • Media Disease-free Survival (mDFS)

    Up to 5 years

  • Overall survival

    5 years

  • Adverse events

    90 days after the first dose of study treatment

Study Arms (1)

Toripalimab Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Toripalimab consolidation therapy

Drug: Consolidation Toripalimab

Interventions

Toripalimab consolidation therapy after radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy, 240mg IV, every 3 weeks, until progressive disease (PD), start new anti-cancer therapy, intolerable toxicity, withdraw informed consent or other conditions that require study treatment discontinuation. Toripalimab will be given at a maximum of 12 months.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Postoperative with adverse prognostic factors in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
  • Have received postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy (chemo) therapy, and the end of the treatment is not more than 2 months.
  • Greater than or equal to 18 and less than 70 years of age at time of study entry.
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Measurable disease as per RECIST 1.1.
  • Screening labs must meet the following criteria and must be obtained within 14 days prior to registration:
  • Adequate hepatic and renal function as demonstrated by
  • Serum creatinine \< 1.5 X ULN or CrCl \> 40mL/min (if using the Cockcroft-Gault formula below):
  • Males: Creatinine CL (mL/min) = (Weight (kg) x (140 - Age))/(72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL))
  • Females: Creatinine CL (mL/min) = (Weight (kg) x (140 - Age))/(72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL))x 0.85
  • AST/ALT ≤ 3 x ULN
  • Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except subjects with Gilbert Syndrome, who can have total bilirubin \< 3.0 mg/dL)
  • Adequate bone marrow function as demonstrated by:
  • Absolute Neutrophil Count \>1,500/µL
  • Platelets \> 100 X 103/µL
  • +6 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment or has not recovered (i.e., ≤ Grade 1 or at baseline) from adverse events due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
  • Has had another known invasive malignancy within the previous 5 years (With the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, which has been cured).
  • If subject received major surgery for any other reason, they must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.
  • Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease.
  • Has evidence of interstitial lung disease or active, non-infectious pneumonitis.
  • Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
  • Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1 antibody .
  • A history of allergic reaction attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to the treatment or other agents used in the study.
  • Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.
  • Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 23 weeks after the last dose of trial treatment.
  • Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection (HIV 1/2 antibodies).
  • Has known active Hepatitis B or C.
  • Known history of active TB ( bacillus tuberculosis ).
