NCT07362979

Brief Summary

This phase II randomized trial compares the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab combined with three different platinum-based induction chemotherapy regimens, sequentially followed by standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy, for the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The study is aimed to pick up the most effective platinum-based induction chemotherapy regimen plus Toripalimab for these patients which provides the most survival benefit.

  • Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (WHO Type I).
  • Prior history of radiotherapy or systemic chemotherapy.
  • Women who are pregnant, lactating, or of childbearing potential not employing effective contraception.
  • HIV-positive status.
  • History of other malignancies (except for cured basal cell carcinoma or carcinoma in situ of the cervix).
  • Patients previously treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (e.g., CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1 inhibitors).
  • Patients with immunodeficiency diseases or a history of organ transplantation.
  • Patients who have received high-dose glucocorticoids, anticancer monoclonal antibodies, or other immunosuppressive therapy within 4 weeks prior.
  • Patients with significantly impaired cardiac, hepatic, pulmonary, renal, or bone marrow function.
  • Concurrent use of other investigational drugs or current participation in another clinical trial.
  • Patients who refuse or are unable to provide signed informed consent for trial participation.
