To investigate the safety and efficacy of low-dose radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and immunotherapy as neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and to explore whether low-dose radiotherapy can induce cross-presentation of tumor-specific antigens, enhance lymphocyte infiltration into the tumor microenvironment, and thereby amplify tumor-specific immune responses, ultimately improving the therapeutic outcomes of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy.
This study is a prospective, phase II clinical trial that enrolled patients with locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (based on AJCC clinical staging, clinical stages III, IVA, and IVB). The patients were treated with a combination of albumin paclitaxel and cisplatin and trastuzumab for 2 cycles before surgery. On the day of the 2 chemotherapy immunotherapy sessions and the second day (d1, d2), the patients were given 1 Gy/1f of radiation therapy for the primary lesion and metastatic lymph nodes, for a total of 4 Gy/4f. Approximately 4 weeks after the first day of the second treatment cycle, evaluate the condition of the lesion and cervical lymph nodes. Patients can undergo surgical treatment after resection. After surgery, based on pathological results, decide on the postoperative adjuvant treatment plan: patients with postoperative pathological progression of pCR will receive maintenance treatment with Triprolizumab Q3W for 1 year, while patients without postoperative pathological progression of pCR will receive adjuvant radiotherapy (60-66Gy/30-33f). If there are high-risk recurrence factors (positive tumor margin or insufficient safe margin, lymph node extracellular invasion), adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be given. Patients assessed as unresectable will receive curative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and immune maintenance will be chosen based on the patient's specific condition after completion. Collect safety related indicators such as adverse reactions (AE) and surgical delay rate during and after treatment for patients; pCR、MPR、 Use treatment related indicators such as 2-year EFS rate, 2-year OS rate, and oral function retention rate to statistically analyze the effectiveness and safety of treatment plans.

On the first and second day of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, low-dose radiotherapy of 1 Gy/1f was administered to the primary tumor lesion and metastatic lymph nodes, respectively, for a total of 4 Gy/4f.
Terriptylimab: fixed dose 240 mg, q30000, intravenous infusion, each infusion lasting 30 minutes (not less than 20 minutes, not more than 60 minutes); Chemotherapy regimen: Albumin bound paclitaxel: 175-260 mg/m2, d1, q3w; Platinum class: Cisplatin: 75mg/m2, d1-3, q3w; Carboplatin: AUC=5, d1, q3w (for patients with cisplatin allergy, intolerance, hearing impairment, creatinine clearance rate\<50ml/min, or grade 1 neuropathy that are not suitable for cisplatin use).

Surgery begins around 4 weeks after the first day of the second cycle of neoadjuvant therapy. The surgical plan is developed and evaluated by oral surgeons with years of clinical surgical experience. The determination of surgical margins is mainly based on baseline standards before neoadjuvant therapy for tumors, and can be appropriately reduced by oral surgeons depending on the situation.
* Patients with postoperative pathological progression of pCR were given maintenance treatment with Triprolizumab Q3W for 1 year. * Patients with postoperative pathology not reaching pCR should receive adjuvant radiotherapy (60-66Gy/30-33f) ③ Patients with high-risk recurrence factors in postoperative pathology (positive tumor margin or insufficient safe margin, presence of lymph node extracellular invasion) are given adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
① Radical radiotherapy for the primary lesion and cervical lymphatic drainage area. ② Synchronous cisplatin during radiotherapy: 75mg/m2, d1-3, q3w.
