the purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab plus Docetaxel and Cisplatin as First-line Therapy in Recurrent or Metastatic Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients

Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the world, with more than 550,000 cases and 300,000 deaths worldwide each year. About 75,000 Chinese suffer from head and neck cancer each year, and currently, there are a total of 176,000 patients with head and neck cancer in China. More than 95% of head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCCHN) disrupts and affects the patient's appearance and basic physiological functions, sensory functions, and language functions, thus affecting the patient's quality of life. Most head and neck squamous cell carcinomas are incurable, and they will develop local recurrence and metastasis.

More than 60% of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma have stage III or IV disease characterized by large size tumors with marked local invasion, evidence of metastasis to regional lymph nodes, or both. Locally advanced head and neck cancer has a high risk of local recurrence and distant metastasis and a poor prognosis. Over the past 20 years, multimodal treatment approaches have steadily improved cure rates while striving to maintain patient function and quality of life.

This clinical study involved Recombinant Humanized Anti-PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody Injection (Camrelizumab), a Class 1 new therapeutic biological product developed by Jiangsu Hengrui Medicine Co., Ltd., which was approved by NMPA in May 2019 for the treatment of relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, by NMPA in March 2020 for the treatment of patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who have received sorafenib and/or oxaliplatin-based systemic chemotherapy, and in June 2020 for the second-line treatment of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and first-line treatment of non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer.

Preclinical study data showed that camrelizumab had comparable in vivo efficacy and safety compared with similar drugs abroad. Since 2015, Hengrui has simultaneously carried out a number of phase I/II clinical trials in Australia and China to preliminarily verify the safety, tolerability and efficacy of camreibizumab in the treatment of advanced solid tumors.

Blood glucose: within normal range and/or with diabetic patients on treatment but with stable blood glucose control.

Pulmonary function: baseline FEV1 of at least 2L, if baseline FEV1 < 2L, FEV1 >800ml is expected after surgery as assessed by a surgical specialist.

Cardiac function: no myocardial infarction within 1 year; no unstable angina; no symptomatic severe arrhythmia; no cardiac insufficiency.

• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 7 days prior to the first dose of the test drug; men of childbearing potential or women of childbearing potential must use a highly effective contraceptive method (e.g., oral contraceptive pill, intrauterine device, abstinence from sexual intercourse, or barrier contraceptive method combined with spermicide) throughout the trial and continue to use contraception for 12 months after the end of treatment.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with prior anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2 therapy. Patients who are currently receiving antineoplastic therapy.
• Patients who have participated or are participating in a clinical trial of another drug/therapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the study drug.
• Patients with any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease (e.g., the following, but not limited to: autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enterocolitis, hepatitis, pituitary inflammation, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism; patients with vitiligo; asthma that has completely resolved in childhood and does not require any intervention in adulthood may be included; patients who require medical intervention with bronchodilators (asthma, on the other hand, cannot be included).
• Patients who are on immunosuppressive, or systemic hormone therapy for immunosuppressive purposes (doses >10 mg/day prednisone or other equipotent hormone) and are continuing to use them within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
• Patients who have received hematopoietic stimulating factors, such as granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), erythropoietin, etc., within 1 week prior to the first administration of the study drug.
• Positive test results for HIV antibodies or syphilis spirochete antibodies. Patients with active hepatitis B or C:
• If HBsAg or HBcAb is positive, add HBV DNA test (the result is higher than the upper limit of the normal range).
• Additional HCV RNA testing if positive for HCV antibodies (results above the upper limit of the normal range).
• Persons with known hypersensitivity to recombinant humanized PD-1 monoclonal antibody drugs and their components.
• Massive pleural or ascites fluid with clinical symptoms and requiring symptomatic management.
• Active lung disease (interstitial pneumonia, pneumonia, obstructive lung disease, asthma) or a history of active tuberculosis.
