Nimotuzumab Combined With Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Resectable LA HNSCC

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study. The trial will be divided into 3 phases: screening/baseline, treatment and follow-up. To initially explore the efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (TPF regimen) in the treatment of resectable locally advanced head and neck tumors. Targeted therapy: Nimotuzumab injection 400 mg, once on the 1st day and once on the 21st day, for a total of 2 times. It should be administered by intravenous infusion 1 hour before chemotherapy, and the administration process should last for more than 60 minutes. Chemotherapy (TPF regimen): nab-paclitaxel 175mg/m2, on the 1st day; nedaplatin 100mg/m2, on the 1st day; oral administration of Sigirone on the 1st-14th day, 2/day; a treatment cycle of 21 days, a total of 2 a treatment cycle. After two cycles of chemotherapy, all patients underwent radical surgery according to whether the throat could be preserved and the patient's own wishes. The primary endpoint of the study is the tumor objective response rate (ORR), and the secondary endpoints are the primary tumor pathological complete response (pCR) rate, organ preservation rate, 1-year overall survival (OS) rate, and 1-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate. , quality of life, safety evaluation.
