Trial summary

Because most patients with R/M NPC have received long-term maintenance of immunotherapy at the time of initial treatment and the first-line treatment, there are a large number of PD-1 inhibitor refractory patients. How to deal with the ICIs resistance is an urgent problem in clinical practice. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Antiangiogenic Therapy or Chemotherapy Combined With PD-1 Inhibitor Versus Standard Chemotherapy for PD-1 Inhibitor Refractory R/M NPC

Because most patients with R/M NPC have received long-term maintenance of immunotherapy at the time of initial treatment and the first-line treatment, there are a large number of PD-1 inhibitor refractory patients. How to deal with the ICIs resistance is an urgent problem in clinical practice. Based on previous clinical trials, anti-angiogenic drugs combined with immunotherapy were found to be effective. Therefore, this study intends to preliminarily evaluate which treatment regimen can provide the most benefit to PD-1 inhibitor refractory patients by comparing the efficacy of VEGFR inhibitor or standard chemotherapy combined with PD-1 inhibitor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Objective response rate is the rate of patients achieving complete response or partial response for a certain period of time after intervention.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Median progression-free survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of death of any cause or the first progress at any site, censored on the last date of tumor evaluation if no progress has happened.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Median overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of death of any cause, censored on the last date of known survival if no death has happened.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Duration of response (DoR)

    Defined as the time from first documentation of objective response to radiological disease progression.

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Disease control rate (DCR)

    Disease control rate is the rate of patients achieving complete response, partial response or stable disease for at least 4 weeks after intervention.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Adverse events

    NCI-CTC5.0 and RTOG standards are adopted, and acute subjective toxicity, acute objective toxicity and late subjective toxicity are included.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Apatinib, Camrelizumab, Chemotherapy (gemcitabine/ capecitabine/ docetaxel), Apatinib, Camrelizumab and Camrelizumab, Chemotherapy (gemcitabine/ capecitabine/ docetaxel) 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 10 inclusion and 18 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 8 Feb 2023. 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 Ming-Yuan Chen, MD, PhD (86-20-8734-3361, chmingy@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective response rate (ORR) (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Feb 2023.
