About this study

Official title: Reduced-dose Radiotherapy With/Without Concurrent Chemotherapy Versus Standard Chemoradiotherapy for High-risk Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Who Achieved Complete Response After Induction Chemotherapy Plus Immunotherapy: a Randomized, Open-label, Multicenter, Phase III Trial

This prospective trial aims to enroll patients with high-risk stage III-IVA (AJCC 8th, except T3N0) locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Under the condition of full course of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades, patients who achieved both radiological and biological complete response after 3 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 blockades will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive reduced-dose radiotherapy (60Gy/30F) alone or reduced-dose radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy or standard dose radiotherapy (70Gy/33F) with concurrent chemotherapy. To solve the urgent problem of whether patients with high-risk advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma are suitable for downgrade treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Cisplatin-based induction chemotherapy, Full course of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades and Reduced-dose IMRT in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma and De-escalation Therapy, 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 8 inclusion and 19 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Dec 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Ming-Yuan Chen, MD,PhD (+86-20-87343361, chenmy@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progress-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 3 years). 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 15 Dec 2023.
