About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multicenter Phase II Clinical Trial of Apatinib Mesylate Tablets Combined With PD-1 in the Treatment of Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

The study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of apatinib mesylate tablets combined with PD-1 in the treatment of recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma after IMRT with concurrent chemotherapy,including The Overall Response Rate (ORR), Progression-free survival (PFS),Overall survival (OS),and Toxicities.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

To determine the clinical efficacy of apatinib mesylate tablets combined with PD-1 in the treatment of recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

Ⅰ.To explore the adjuvant medication regimen of recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Ⅱ.Provide high-level evidence-based medical evidence for the new individualized treatment strategy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

OUTLINE:

Eligible patients begin to use apatinib mesylate tablets and PD-1, apatinib mesylate tablets at the recommended dose of 250mg,orally, QD, continuous administration, 4 weeks (28 days) as an observation cycle. Until the disease progressed or unbearable adverse reactions appeared. If missed medication occurs during the medication period, it is confirmed that the next medication time is less than 12 hours, then there will be no replenishment. The recommended dose of PD-1 is 200mg/time, Q2W, intravenous injection, 4 weeks (28 days) as an observation cycle, until disease progression or intolerable toxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Apatinib mesylate tablet and PD-1 in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Wei Jiang at 5 sites 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 10 inclusion and 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Response Rate (ORR) (time frame: Up to 24 months). 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 NCT04350190, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Jan 2023.
