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.

Induction therapy include Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab injection combined with hypofractionated radiotherapy (5 Gy × 3) for two cycles, followed by sequential concurrent chemoradiotherapy (50 Gy/25 fractions with two cycles of cisplatin). After completing chemoradiotherapy, patients receive maintenance Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab injection for at least six months.

RECRUITING1-year progression-free survival rate (1-year PFS rate)
The proportion of patients who remain alive without disease progression (including local recurrence, regional recurrence, distant metastasis, or death) one year after the start of treatment.
Time frame: 1 year from the date of enrollment
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective Response Rate (ORR) refers to the proportion of patients who achieve a measurable reduction in tumor burden, specifically those who experience a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to standardized criteria (such as RECIST).
Time frame: From enrollment to the first documented tumor response assessment
Progression-free survival(PFS)
Progression-free survival is the length of time from the start of treatment (or from randomization/enrollment) until the disease progresses or the patient dies from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Time frame: From the date of enrollment until the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 1 year.
Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS)
Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS) is the length of time from the start of treatment (or from diagnosis/enrollment) until the first occurrence of distant metastasis or death from any cause, whichever happens first.
Time frame: From the date of enrollment until the date of first documented distant metastasis or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 1 year.
Overall Survival(OS)
Overall Survival(OS) is defined as the period from the date of first treatment administration to the date of death due to any cause.
Time frame: From the date of enrollment until the date of death due to any cause.
Adverse events.
The incidence, type, and severity of adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, and immune-related AEs (irAEs) were assessed in accordance with the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE version 5.0).
Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 3 years.
