About this trial

Study Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of pucotenlimab combined with TP (cisplatin + docetaxel) as neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Study Design: This is a single-arm interventional study. Intervention: Patients will receive 3 cycles of pucotenlimab combined with TP (cisplatin + docetaxel) as neoadjuvant therapy, followed by standard surgical treatment and postoperative histopathological examination.

Endpoints: Pathological complete response rate (pCR) after surgery, major pathological response rate (MPR) of the treatment regimen, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS).

Hypothesis: The combination of pucotenlimab and TP (cisplatin + docetaxel) as neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced HNSCC is expected to improve pathological response rates and enhance patient prognosis.
