Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Through multicenter, open-label, randomised clinical trials, we intend to demonstrate that concurrent and adjuvant PD-1 treatment added to concurrent chemo-radiotherapy could further decrease the rate of disease progression and improve the survival outcome of patients with unresectable locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared with those treated with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy alone.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Through multicenter, open-label, randomised clinical trials, patients with unresectable locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma are randomized into concurrent chemo-radiotherapy plus concurrent and adjuvant PD-1 treatment group and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy alone group. The efficacy and safety of patients between these two groups are compared.

Toripalimab plus concurrent chemo-radiotherapy arm

Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy plus concurrent and adjuvant toripalimab.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Toripalimab plus concurrent chemo-radiotherapy

Intervention Type DRUG

1. Toripalimab: 240 mg, intravenous injection over 60 minutes (Q3W); 2 cycles of toripalimab are concurrently used during radiotherapy and other 9 cycles of toripalimab are used after the end of radiotherapy. (A total of 11 cycles).
2. Concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy: cisplatin is given at a dose of 100 mg/m2 via a continuous intravenous infusion during radiotherapy and starts on the 1st day of radiotherapy for 2 cycles. 1 cycles per 3 weeks.
3. IMRT: PTVnx#60.0Gy/27Fr/2.22Gy; PTVnd# 60-64Gy/27Fr/2.22-2.37Gy; PTV1#54Gy/27Fr/2.00Gy

Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy arm

Concurrent chemo-radiotherapy alone.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Histologically confirmed recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
2. The recurrence time is more than 12 months from the end of the first course of radiotherapy.
3. Tumor staged as rT2-4N0-3M0,rII-IVa (according to the 8th AJCC edition).
4. Subjects must have a measurable disease by CT or MRI per RECIST 1.1 criteria.
5. Karnofsky scale (KPS)≥70.
6. Normal bone marrow function.
7. Normal liver and kidney function:

1. total bilirubin, AST and ALT levels of no more than 2.5 times the upper normal limit;
2. creatinine clearance rate of at least 60 mL/min or creatinine of no more than 1.5 times the upper normal limit.
8. Given written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Resectable nasopharyngeal diseases: rT2 (the tumour is confined in the superficial parapharyngeal spacer and is more than 0.5cm from the internal carotid artery) and rT3 (the tumour is confined in the base wall of the sphenoid sinus and is more than 0.5cm from the internal carotid artery and cavernous sinus).
2. The patients are suffering from severe nasopharyngeal necrosis, radiation induced brain injury, and fibrosis of the neck et. al, who are evaluated as unsuitable for secondary radiotherapy by the researchers.
3. Has known allergy to large molecule protein products or any compound of study therapy.
4. Has known subjects with other malignant tumors.
5. Has any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease.
6. Has a history of psychiatric substance abuse, alcoholism, or drug addiction.
7. The laboratory examination value does not meet the relevant standards within 7 days before enrollment
8. Received a systematic glucocorticoid therapy within 4 weeks of the first dose of study medication.
9. Has a known history of active TB (bacillus tuberculosis) within 1 year; patients with adequately treated active TB with 1 year.
10. Prior therapy with a PD-1, anti-PD-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) or CTLA-4 agent.
11. Has active autoimmune disease (e.g., uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, nephritis, vasculitis, hyperthyroidism, and asthma requiring bronchodilator therapy). Patients with skin disease that doesn't require systemic treatment (e.g., vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia) will be allowed to enroll.
12. Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
