About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety ofToripalimab Combined With AP-induced Chemotherapyfollowed by Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy and Toripalimab-maintenance Therapysequentially in Patients With Non-metastatic IVB Hypopharyngeal Cancer : Aopen-lablc, Single-arm ,Phase II Clinical Study

The goal of this type of study: single center exploratory clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab combined with AP-induced chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy and Toripalimab-maintenance therapy sequentially in patients with non-metastatic IVB hypopharyngeal cancer. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • [main objectives: to evaluate the objective remission rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and safety of PD-1 inhibitor Toripalimab combined with induction chemotherapy (cisplatin / nedaplatin + albumin paclitaxel) in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma according to RECISTv1.1.] • [Secondary objectives: 1-year, 2-year, 3-year progression-free survival rate (PFS); 1-year, 2-year, 3-year overall survival rate (OS); overall survival time (OS); tumor regression time; quality of life was evaluated by ECOG physical status and EQ-5D-5L assessment. ] [Exploratory Objective: to explore the relationship between the biomarkers in tumor tissue and / or blood, including PD-L1 (CPS/TPS), HPV (P16), PD-1, TMB, EGFR, CD3, CD4, CD8, TP53, MSI-H and the efficacy of immunotherapy, and the relationship between MDM2/MDM4, EGFR, chromosome 11q13 interval (CCND1/FGF19/FGF3/FGF4) and immune hyperprogression] Participants will [be treated with Toripalimab injection (240mg/, once every 3 weeks) combined with cisplatin / nedaplatin (40mg) and albumin paclitaxel (230mg/m2, once every 3 weeks). The efficacy was evaluated within 1 week after induction therapy. In the phase of simultaneous radiotherapy, albumin paclitaxel (230mg/m2, once every 3 weeks, D1/D21/D43) was used. One month after the end of synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the efficacy was evaluated. After evaluation, all patients entered the next stage of immune maintenance therapy. During the maintenance phase, Toripalimabv injection (240mg/, once every 3 weeks) was given for 6 months or until the disease progressed, the toxicity was intolerable, the subjects asked to withdraw voluntarily, and the researchers judged that the subjects needed to withdraw from the study. The patients were treated with spiral tomographic radiotherapy (TOMO) or intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).. These patients were given Nimotuzumab injection at the same time during simultaneous radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Cisplatin/Nedaplatin, albumin paclitaxelDrug

    During induction chemotherapy, triplelimab JS001 was administered before cisplatin/Nedaplatin and albumin paclitaxel. JS001 Intravenous infusion of cisplatin/Nedaplatin was administered 60 minutes after the end of infusion and beginning on day 1 of each cycle 40mg/m 2, D1, D2 albumin paclitaxel 230 mg/m 2; Chemotherapeutic drugs are administered in accordance with the drug label and local prodrome and other standard protocols for prophylactic use, every 3 Once a week (Q3W) for 2 cycles

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    An objective response is defined as either a confirmed CR or a PR, as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Progress-free survival (PFS)

    Defined from date of randomization to date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause For example, increased tumor burden (including new small lesions in non critical areas), physical fitness status, and experimentation If there is no significant deterioration in the room value, treatment is allowed to continue until at least 4 weeks later or the next planned period Repetitive imaging examination confirms disease progression at the time point of imaging examination

    Measured: 1years, 2 years , 3 years

  3. Incidence rate of adverse events (AEs)

    Analysis of adverse events (AEs) are based on treatment-related AEs (trAEs) and immune-related AEs (irAEs), and all-grade AEs and grade 3-4 AEs. AEs are evaluated by investigators according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    Defined from date of randomization to date of first documentation of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.

    Measured: 1years, 2 years , 3 years

  2. ECOG physical fitness status

    The physical condition of patients in the evaluation group was evaluated by ECOG score

    Measured: Once a week for the duration of treatment, 15, 18, 21, and 24 months after completion of treatment

  3. Tumor regression time

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Quality of Life (QOL)

    Evaluate the quality of life of patients in the evaluation group through EQ-5D-5L assessment

    Measured: 3 years

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 7 inclusion and 13 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 20 Feb 2024. 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 Xinxin Zhang (15910520109, xinxinzhang66@hotmail.com), 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: 3 years). The study lists 3 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 NCT05860335, 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 20 Feb 2024.
