About this study

Official title: A Study of Candonilimab Combined With All-trans Retinoic Acid for Prevention of Oral Cancer Recurrence in Patients With High-risk Oral Precancerous Lesions.

The aim of this study is to involve high-risk patients with a history of malignant transformation in oral potentially malignant disorders. We will use a combination of Cardunil and all-trans retinoic acid for intervention. The effectiveness and safety of the combination therapy will be evaluated in the treatment of high-risk oral potentially malignant disorders, including the prevention of oral cancer recurrence and treatment of oral potentially malignant disorders. The findings of this study will provide evidence for tertiary prevention of oral cancer and the treatment of oral potentially malignant disorders.

Being tested
Candonilimab and ATRA, other treatment or observation
Medical subject headings
Mouth Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • Candonilimab and ATRADrug

    Candonilimab at a dose of 6mg/kg IV Q3W will be administered until a maximum treatment duration of 1 year. All-trans retinoic acid will be administered at a dose of 25mg/m² twice daily on days 1-14, with a treatment cycle of 21 days, until a maximum treatment duration of 6 months, or until the occurrence of oral cancer or other malignancies, death, intolerable toxicity, withdrawal of informed consent, or any other reasons specified in the protocol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Candonilimab and ATRA and other treatment or observation in people with Oral Cavity Cancer and Premalignant Lesion, run by Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong 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 9 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 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?

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?

oral-cancer free survival,OCFS (time frame: 2-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 24 Feb 2025.
