Neoadjuvant Camrelizumab in Combination With Cisplatin and Nab-paclitaxel in Resectable HNSCC

An Open Label, Single Arm Phase II Study of Camrelizumab in Combination With Cisplatin and Nab-paclitaxel as a Novel Neoadjuvant Pre-Surgical Therapy for Resectable HNSCC

This study is a single arm phase II trial including 53 patients with T2N2-3M0、T3-4N0-3M0（III-IV） head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) eligible for resection, who receive neo-adjvuant Camrelizumab combined with cisplatin and Nab-paclitaxel.

This proposed study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative administration of Camrelizumab combined with chemotherapy in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) who are about to undergo surgery.

In this study, eligible subject will be enrolled into study arm to accept study treatment. Objective response rate will be the primary outcome measures.
