The aim of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a combination of immunotherapy, using a drug called toripalimab, with chemotherapy drugs, Carboplatin and Docetaxel, as a possible treatment before surgery for sinonasal cancers.
The names of the study drugs used in this research study are:
* Toripalimab (a type of monoclonal antibody) * Carboplatin (a type of antineoplastic agent) * Docetaxel (a type of antineoplastic agent) * Cisplatin (a type of antineoplastic agent)
Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed locoregionally advanced nasal cavity or paranasal sinus cancer including the following histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of any morphologic variation: verrucous, papillary, basaloid, spindle cell, and adenosquamous; or sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC).
Participants with SCC should have resectable disease at baseline per the discretion of the treating surgical oncologist(s). *Participants with SNUC can have operable or borderline resectable (definition: resection would been morbid requiring extensive surgery and would have chances of incomplete gross total resection) disease as judged by the treating surgical oncologist(s).
T2, N1-3 III
T3, any N III, IVA, IVB
Participants with nasal cavity or paranasal sinus malignancies demonstrating histologies other than SCC or SNUC in the opinion of the reviewing pathologist. Excluded subtypes include: angiosarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, lymphomas, olfactory neuroblastomas (esthesioneuroblastomas), melanomas, and meningiomas among others. SNEC or sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma is not permitted.
Participants with unresectable or inoperable disease as judged by the treating surgical oncologist(s).
Participants with known distant metastatic disease (M1 or IVC).
Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1/L1 agent or any other agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor.
