About this study

Official title: A Single-Arm Phase II Clinical Study of Irinotecan Liposomes in Combination With Nituzumab for the Treatment of Recurrent/Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma After Failure of First-Line or Higher Immunotherapy

Nasopharyngeal cancer is a malignant tumor that arises from the cells of the nasopharyngeal epithelium, with its occurrence spread across different regions worldwide. Recent data from China in 2015 revealed approximately 6.0 million new cases of nasopharyngeal cancer, leading to approximately 34,000 deaths. When choosing a chemotherapy regimen for patients with metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer, the gemcitabine and cisplatin combination (GP) is typically recommended as the initial treatment. However, it is common for patients to experience disease progression after receiving first-line chemotherapy, highlighting the importance of a well-defined second-line treatment plan.

Recent clinical studies have indicated that combining nituzumab with radiotherapy can enhance treatment efficacy with minimal side effects, providing promising results for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer patients. Additionally, the use of irinotecan liposome injection has proved beneficial in modifying the drug's pharmacokinetics, resulting in improved drug delivery to the tumor site while reducing toxicity in healthy tissues. This study aims to explore the effectiveness and safety of combining irinotecan liposome with nituzumab treatment for recurrent metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has not responded to initial immunotherapy.

Participants selected for this clinical trial will receive a treatment regimen consisting of liposomal irinotecan administered intravenously at a dose of 70 mg/m2 on day 1, along with nituzumab given at a dose of 400 mg via intravenous injection on the same day. This treatment cycle will be repeated every two weeks for a maximum of eight cycles, or until disease progression, intolerable side effects, or other criteria necessitating discontinuation of treatment as determined by the investigator. By evaluating the efficacy and safety of this combined regimen, investigators aim to establish a novel therapeutic approach for managing advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the context of current immunotherapy advancements.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Irinotecan Liposomal combined With Nituzumab in people with Nasopharyngeal Cancer, run by XIANG YANQUN 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 1 inclusion and 2 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 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?

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?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Objective remission rate (ORR) (time frame: up to 2 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 30 Dec 2024.
