📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria:
* Voluntarily sign the written informed consent form and be willing to comply with all requirements specified in the study protocol;
* Aged ≥ 18 years;
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (including oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx), deemed incurable after local therapy;
* Have not received any systemic therapy for recurrent or metastatic disease. Note: If disease progression occurs during neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, concurrent radiotherapy, or within 6 months after treatment discontinuation, the anti-tumor therapy administered during neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy or concurrent radiotherapy (including platinum-based chemotherapy, anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors, etc.) will be regarded as first-line systemic therapy, and such subjects will be excluded.
(Remark: Subjects previously treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors may be enrolled provided a washout period of ≥ 12 months is met.)
* Have at least one measurable evaluable target lesion per RECIST v1.1, or a measurable lesion with definitive radiological progression following local therapy, and the lesion must be suitable for repeated precise measurement;
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, with no disease deterioration within 2 weeks prior to enrollment;
* For participants with oropharyngeal carcinoma, human papillomavirus (HPV) status test results based on tumor tissue samples must be available prior to enrollment.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Primary tumor site (any histologic type) located in nasopharynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinus, salivary gland, thyroid or parathyroid gland, skin, or unknown primary origin;
* Participants who have been diagnosed with a malignancy other than squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck within 3 years prior to enrollment. Exceptions include cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and/or carcinoma in situ of the cervix and/or breast cancer treated with curative resection;
* Participants with an expected survival of less than 6 months and/or rapidly progressive disease (e.g., participants experiencing rapid disease progression within 1-2 months during therapy planned prior to enrollment);
* Participants eligible for curative-intent local therapy;
* Pregnant or breastfeeding participants, or those planning pregnancy or conception during the anticipated study period (from screening visit through 180 days after the last dose);
* Known history of psychiatric disorder or substance abuse that would interfere with compliance with study requirements;
* Any other condition that renders the participant unsuitable for enrollment in the opinion of the investigator.
