Brief Summary

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

This trial aims to study the role of Ivonescimab combined with chemoradiotherapy in high-Risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Detailed Description

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

The trial plans to enroll patients with T3N2M0+ Stage III (AJCC 9th) locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Patients will receive 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin combined with ivonescimab, followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin, and then 9 cycles of adjuvant ivonescimab. Ivonescimab will be administered every 3 weeks starting from day 1 of induction therapy and continued through the adjuvant phase.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ivonescimab arm

Participants in this arm will receive induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine (1000 mg/m² on Days 1 and 8, Q3W × 3 cycles) and cisplatin (80 mg/m² on Day 1, Q3W × 3 cycles), combined with ivonescimab (10 mg/kg on Day 1, Q3W × 3 cycles). This will be followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (IMRT, 70 Gy/33 fractions, with cisplatin 100 mg/m² on Day 1, Q3W × 2 cycles), and then adjuvant ivonescimab monotherapy (10 mg/kg Q3W × 9 cycles).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ivonescimab(AK112,a PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody)

Intervention Type DRUG

Ivonescimab (AK112) is a novel PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody designed to simultaneously block PD-1-mediated immune evasion and inhibit VEGF-driven angiogenesis. In this study, ivonescimab is administered intravenously at a dose of 10 mg/kg every 3 weeks, starting on Day 1 of induction chemotherapy (3 cycles), followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (no ivonescimab), and then continued as adjuvant monotherapy for 9 additional cycles.
