The main objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a novel neoadjuvant therapy for patients with locally advanced sinonasal carcinoma (SNC). The treatment consists of the standard TP chemotherapy regimen (docetaxel and cisplatin) combined with dual immunotherapy (sintilimab and ipilimumab N01) administered before surgery. Researchers aim to determine the major pathological response (MPR) rate and long-term survival outcomes, while also exploring if this combination treatment approach can help better preserve critical facial and organ functions for SNC patients.
Disease Status: Newly diagnosed, pathologically confirmed locally advanced (AJCC 8th edition Stage III-IVA) sinonasal carcinoma (SNC).
Suitable for radical comprehensive treatment, with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 1.
18 to 75 years old.
Defined by the following laboratory test results obtained within 7 days prior to enrollment: Hematology (without blood transfusion or hematopoietic growth factor therapy within 14 days prior to testing): White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 4.0 × 10^9/L; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 2.0 × 10^9/L; Platelet (PLT) count ≥ 100 × 10^9/L.
History of other malignancies within the past 5 years, except for curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Presence of residual measurable lesions or new tumor/metastasis according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, or deemed inoperable by a head and neck surgeon.
History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other monoclonal antibodies or any components of the PD-1 inhibitors.
Prior and Concomitant Therapies: Prior treatment with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, anti-PD-L2, or anti-CTLA-4 antibody (or any other antibody targeting T-cell costimulation or checkpoint pathways).
