  • Recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has failed anti PD-1/L1: anti PD-1/L1 exposure at least 6 weeks, and the protocol used at the time of enrollment in this study meets one of the following two points: (1) Relapse during adjuvant therapy after radiotherapy, or relapse within 6 months after the end of treatment; (2) First-line treatment phase, progression during anti PD-1/L1 treatment, or progression within 3 months after the end of anti PD-1/L1 (whether combined with chemotherapy/targeting drugs);
  • At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST 1.1 criteria (the spiral CT scan diameter of the measurable lesion is ≥ 10 mm or the short diameter of the enlarged lymph node is ≥15mm ); lesions that have undergone local treatment can be selected as target lesions if there is clear evidence of significant progress compared to the end of treatment.
  • All acute toxicities of previous antitumor therapy have returned to ≤ grade 1 (according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0) or reached the level specified in the inclusion/exclusion criteria. (Except for partial toxicity, such as alopecia, hair color change, nail change, fatigue, etc., which do not pose safety risks to subjects).
  • Adequate main organ function. a. Hematology: neutrophil absolute value (ANC) ≥1.5×10^9/L, hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 9.0 g/dL, platelets ≥ 100×10^9/L; b. Liver function: bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (patients with known Gilbert disease and serum bilirubin level ≤ 3 times ULN could be enrolled; patients with liver metastasis, ≤ 5 times ULN), AST and ALT ≤ 3 times ULN, and alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3 times ULN; Albumin ≥ 3 g/dL; c.

If the UPC ratio is less than or equal to 0.5, no further check is required. Patients with UPC ratio > 0.5 and those with 24-hour urinary protein < 1000 mg could be enrolled; f. Note: The UPC ratio of random urine is a quantitative estimate of 24-hour urinary protein, and the two have a good correlation. UPC ratio can be calculated using the following formula: (a) Urinary protein/urinary creatinine (if both protein and creatinine are mg/dL); (b) (urinary protein)*0.088/ urinary creatinine (if urinary creatinine is mmol/L).

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Single-arm Phase 2 Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride Liposome Injection Combined with PD-1 Blockade in Previously Treated Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

This is a prospective, single-arm Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection combined with PD-1 blockade in patients with recurrent (not unable to locally curative treatment) or metastatic NPC who failed at least first-line platinum-containing standard regimen and/or anti PD-1/L1.

Read the detailed description

Thirty-two recurrent (not unable to locally curative treatment) or metastatic NPC patients who had failed at least first-line platinum-containing standard regimen and/or anti PD-1/L1 were eligible to receive mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection combined with PD-1 blockade once every 3 weeks for up to 8 cycles, following PD-1 blockade alone once every 3 weeks for 2 years. All patients will be treated until disease progression as determined by the investigator based on RECIST 1.1 criteria, intolerable toxicity, subject withdrawal of informed consent, initiation of new antitumor therapy, loss of follow-up, death, or study completion, whichever occurs first. Regular visits and imaging examinations will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the treatment regimen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection and PD-1 Inhibitors in people with Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Ming-Yuan Chen 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 13 inclusion and 17 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 13 Jan 2025. 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?

Contact Mingyuan Chen, Doctor (18124188280, 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: Through study completion, an average of 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 13 Jan 2025; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
