Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Plus Hypofractionated Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy for HAHNSCC

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is often diagnosed at a locally advanced stage, where cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy is standard but still results in high recurrence rates. Immunotherapy is promising for HNSCC due to its high mutational burden, and adding PD-1 inhibitors to induction chemotherapy has improved responses without added toxicity. Radiotherapy can further stimulate antitumor immunity. Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab, a dual anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 antibody, has shown strong activity across several solid tumors, and early studies suggest synergy with hypofractionated radiotherapy. However, evidence in locally advanced HNSCC is lacking. The investigators therefore propose a multicenter, single-arm phase II trial to assess the efficacy and safety of combining Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab injection with chemoradiotherapy in locoregionally advanced HNSCC.
