This phase I, open-label, single-arm trial uses a "3+3" dose-escalation design to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efffcacy of intranasal WSK-IM05 vaccine combined with tislelizumab as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with resectable HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Participants receive two cycles of WSK-IM05 (intranasal) and tislelizumab (200 mg IV) on day 1 of each 3-week cycle, followed by surgery. After surgery, patients receive standard of care (chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy as indicated) plus 15 cycles of adjuvant tislelizumab. The main outcomes include dose-limiting toxicities and treatment-related adverse events.

RECRUITINGIncidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Proportion of participants experiencing DLTs within the DLT observation period (first 21 days after the first dose), as defined per protocol.
Time frame: First 21 days after first dose of WSK-IM05 (approximately 21 days in total)
Incidence and Severity of Treatment-Related Adverse Events (TRAEs)
Type, incidence, severity (grade 1-5 according to CTCAE v5.0), and causality assessment of all treatment-related adverse events.
Time frame: From first dose through 30 days after last dose of WSK-IM05 (approximately 2 months in total)
Incidence of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Including immune-related adverse events (irAEs), injection/administration site reactions, allergic reactions, etc.
Time frame: From first dose through 30 days after last dose (approximately 2 months in total)
Major Pathological Response (MPR)
Proportion of participants who undergo surgery with residual viable tumor ≤10% (%RVT ≤10%) in the tumor bed according to irPRC criteria, regardless of lymph node status.
Time frame: At time of surgery (approx. Week 6-10)
Pathological Complete Response (pCR)
Proportion of participants who undergo surgery with no residual viable tumor cells (%RVT = 0) in the tumor bed and resected lymph nodes according to irPRC criteria.
Time frame: At time of surgery (approx. Week 6-10)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Proportion of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
Time frame: After 2 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy (prior to surgery, approx. Week 5-9)
Event-Free Survival (EFS)
Time from first dose to first occurrence of any of the following: disease progression during neoadjuvant therapy leading tolerability to undergo radical surgery; local, regional, or distant tumor recurrence after surgery; or death from any cause.
Time frame: From first dose up to approximately 3 years
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to death from any cause. For subjects who have not experienced this event by the time of the last follow-up, data will be censored at the date of the last tumor assessment or the date of the last follow-up.
Time frame: From the first dose of study treatment until death from any cause
