About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Toripalimab, an Anti-PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody, in Combination With Combination Carboplatin and Nab-paclitaxel , as a Novel Neoadjuvant Pre-Surgical Therapy for Salivary Gland Malignant Neoplasms

This proposed study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of preoperative administration Toripalimab combined with nab-paclitaxel and carboplatin in salivary gland malignant neoplasms who are about to undergo surgery.Monoclonal antibodies, such as Toripalimab , may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.This trial will be helpful for comprehensive exploratory characterization of tumor immune microenvironment and circulating immune cells in these patients.

Being tested
Toripalimab , Carboplatin, Nab-paclitaxel

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Toripalimab , Carboplatin, Nab-paclitaxelDrug

    Patients receive toripalimab IV on day 1, paclitaxel IV on day 1 and carboplatin IV on day 1 . Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse events graded by CTCAE v5.0

    Percentage of adverse events that are possibly, probably or definitely related to study treatment per Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (CTCAE v5.0).

    Measured: 90 days after the first dose of study treatment

  2. Percentage of participants demonstrating pathological response

    Pathologic response in the primary tumor was assessed using a quantitative grading scheme:

    pathologic tumor response [nonviable tumor] PTR0 = no or <10% PTR1 = ≥10% PTR2 = ≥50%

    Measured: At time of surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)

  1. Disease-free survival （DFS）

    DFS is defined as the time from treatment until the date of the first relapse (local/regional recurrence or distant metastasis) or death (from any cause) whichever comes firsts and regardless of whether the patient withdraws from treatment or receives another anti-cancer therapy prior to disease relapse.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Overall survival（OS）

    Overall survival will be defined as the time from day 1 of study treatment until death from any cause.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Radiographic Response

    Radiographic response to treatment as defined by RECIST 1.1.

    Measured: 5 weeks

  4. Pathologic Response

    Pathologic response to neoadjuvant treatment in resected tumor and lymph nodes. The rate of major pathologic response, defined as <10% residual viable tumor cells in the resection specimen will be compared to historic data with neoadjuvant chemotherapy

    Measured: 6 weeks

  5. Rate of surgery delay

    Rate of patients with an Unplanned Delay to Surgery defined as any change to scheduled surgery date considered to be at least possibly related to neoadjuvant treatment.

    Measured: 8 weeks after the patient receives their last dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Toripalimab , Carboplatin, Nab-paclitaxel in people with Salivary Gland Malignant Neoplasms and Salivary Gland Tumors, run by Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of 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 22 inclusion and 16 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2021. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Song Fan, Doctor degrees (13570536658, fansong2@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adverse events graded by CTCAE v5.0 (time frame: 90 days after the first dose of study treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04825938.

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 28 Apr 2021.
