About this study

Official title: Induction Chemotherapy and Toripalimab Followed by Surgery or Radiotherapy for Larynx Preservation in Resectable Laryngeal/Hypopharyngeal Carcinoma

The aim of this study is to define whether combination of induction chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitor (Toripalimab) improve the rate of larynx preservation, for patients with resectable laryngeal/hypopharyngeal carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Historically, induction chemotherapy could provide a chance of larynx preservation for approximate 60-70% of patients with locally advanced laryngeal/hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Recently, phase I-II clinical studies demonstrated excellent pathological response of induction PD-1 inhibitor with/without chemotherapy for locally advanced head and neck cancer. The aim of this study is to define whether combination of induction chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitor (Toripalimab) improve the rate of larynx preservation, for patients with resectable laryngeal/hypopharyngeal carcinoma.

What participants receive

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

  • chemotherapy TP regimen combined with ToripalimabDrug

    Also called Paclitaxel or Nab-Paclitaxel, Cisplatin

    Induction chemotherapy TP regimen combined with Toripalimab for 3 cycles: Toripalimab 240mg d1, Paclitaxel 175mg/m2 d2 or Nab-Paclitaxel 260mg/m2 d2,Cisplatin 25mg/m2 d2-4 q3w.

    Response rate of primary tumor is evaluated using laryngoscopy and head and neck MRI after 3 cycles of induction therapy. If overall response rate of primary tumor is complete response or partial response, then chemoradiation is conducted, followed by maintenance therapy of Toripalimab for 8 cycles (6 months). Otherwise, surgery is conducted (laryngeal preservation surgery is preferred), followed by adjuvant radiation/chemoradiation and then maintenance therapy of Toripalimab for 8 cycles.

A Phase 2 study testing chemotherapy TP regimen combined with Toripalimab in people with Laryngeal Cancer and Hypopharynx Cancer, run by Fudan 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2022. 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 Xiayun He, M.D. ((86)021-64175590 ext. 81400, hexiayun1962@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Laryngeal Preservation rate at 3-month post-radiotherapy (time frame: 3-month post-radiotherapy). 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 NCT04995120, which also lists 5 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 Jan 2022.
