About this study

Official title: A Study of Adoptive Immunotherapy With Autologous Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

This is a Phase II trial to study the effectiveness and security of cisplatin concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus TIL versus cisplatin concurrent chemoradiotherapy only with IMRT in treating patients with locoregionally advanced high risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in Southern China and Southeast Asia. For locoregionally advanced NPC,especially for the high risk NPC (EB virus DNA ≥ 4000 copies/ml) ,the incidence of treatment failure is still high. Although concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) can improve the treatment outcomes of these patients, approximately 25% of locoregionally advanced NPCs relapse. Adjuvant chemotherapy or inducing chemotherapy addition to CCRT did not significantly improve patient survival compared to CCRT alone. Hence, there is an urgent need for novel therapies to improve disease-free survival and reduce treatment-related toxicity in patients.

Accumulating evidence shows that tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) selected for tumor recognition and greatly expanded in vitro are especially effective for treating cancer patients.The investigations phase I results showed that TILs following CCRT as a novel treatment strategy in locoregionally advanced NPC patients resulted in sustained anti-tumor activity and anti-EBV immune responses, associated with a good tolerance.

This is a Phase II trial to study the effectiveness and security of cisplatin CCRT plus TIL versus cisplatin CCRT only with IMRT in treating patients with locoregionally advanced high risk NPC.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progress-free survival

    Progress-free survival is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of the first progress at any site.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    The OS was defined as the duration from the date of random assignment to the date of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Locoregional Relapse-Free Survival (LRRF)

    The LRRFS is evaluated and calculated from the date of random assignment until the day of first locoregional relapse or until the date of the last follow-up visit.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS)

    The DMFS is evaluated and calculated from the date of random assignment until the day of first distant metastases or until the date of the last follow-up visit.

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Complete Response (CR)

    CR assessed by independent reviewers, according to the Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) from the National Cancer Institute (NCI). Disease response evaluated after the completion of the chemoradiotherapy treatment. Complete response defined as the complete disappearance of the target and non-target lesion(s) identified at baseline after radiological evaluation by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) only.

    Measured: after the completion of the chemoradiotherapy treatment (up to 9 weeks)

  5. Determine the toxic effects in these patients.

    Patients will be monitored for clinical toxicity by standard NIH criteria. A time period of 4 weeks will constitute the time for clinical safety monitoring.

    Measured: 4 weeks

  6. Determine the molecular expression of EBV DNA.

    The molecular expression responses of the patients, including their plasma EBV DNA load, IFN levels and the expansion of EBV-antigen specific T cells.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  7. Determine the quality of life (QoL) of these regimens in these patients.

    Administration and Monitoring Patients will be evaluated in the clinic and eligibility and informed consent obtained. QoL was assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTCQLQ-C30) and EORTC QLQ Head and Neck.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cisplatin+TIL and Cisplatin in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Qiuyan Chen, MD,PhD (86-20-87343380, chenqy@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progress-free survival (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02421640, which also lists 12 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Oct 2016.
