Preliminary Analysis of Recurrent/Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients: a Phase II Study

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2023-12-31
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors has been recommended as the first-line treatment for recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (R/M NPC), but progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was still unsatisfactory. Basic studies have already confirmed PD-1 inhibitors had concurrent synergistic effect with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Few studies concerned about the treatment pattern for concurrent PD-1 inhibitors combination with chemoradiation for R/M NPC. There was still much uncertainties about the timing, fraction dose and total dose for PD-1 inhibitors combination with radiation. Therefore, we aimed to explore the substantial effect and toxicity of this new pattern for R/M NPC.

3. According to the criteria of common adverse event terminology (NCI ctcaev5.0), there were peripheral neuropathy ≥ grade 2.

4. Other malignant tumors occurred within 5 years or present at the same time.

5. Interstitial lung disease or non communicable pneumonia (including past history and present condition); Local interstitial pneumonia induced by radiotherapy is excluded.

6. Have uncontrolled systemic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, acute lung disease, etc.

7. Active infections requiring systemic treatment, including active tuberculosis.

8. Uncontrollable pleural effusion, pericardial effusion or ascites requiring repeated drainage.

9. There are obvious cardiovascular diseases, heart failure classified as grade 2 or above by the New York Heart Association (NYHA), previous myocardial infarction within 3 months, unstable arrhythmia (including QT interval ≥ 480 MS) or unstable angina pectoris.

10. Active central nervous system metastasis and / or cancerous meningitis (before the first administration, except for patients with stable brain metastases: subjects with brain metastases who have received previous treatment can participate in the study, provided that they are clinically stable for at least 2 weeks, there is no evidence of new or expanded brain metastases, and steroids are stopped 3 days before the administration of the study drug. Except for subjects with asymptomatic brain metastases: they have no neurological symptoms, do not need corticosteroids, and have no lesions > 1.5cm, and they need regular brain tests as disease sites Imaging examination.)

11. Active hepatitis B or C, meeting any of the following conditions: hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) in peripheral blood is positive (the result is greater than the detection limit of the analysis method); Hepatitis C virus RNA (HCV RNA) in peripheral blood was positive (the result was greater than the detection limit of the analysis method).

12. Patients with a history of immune deficiency, including HIV positive and / or other acquired and congenital immune deficiency diseases, and / or patients with a history of organ transplantation.

13. Active autoimmune diseases that may worsen when receiving systemic steroid therapy or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy (except for patients with type I diabetes, vitiligo, psoriasis or hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism that do not require immunosuppressive therapy).

14. Immunosuppressive drugs are used, except for the following cases: intranasal, inhaled, topical steroids or local steroid injections (e.g., intra-articular injections), physiological doses of systemic corticosteroids (≤ 10 mg / day prednisone or equivalent dose), steroid pre medication for hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., CT scan pre medication).
