Toripalimab Plus Surgery vs Surgery Alone for Resectable Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Through multicenter, open-label, randomised clinical trials, we intend to demonstrate that PD-1 treatment added to salvage surgery could further decrease the rate of disease progression and improve the survival outcome of patients with resectable locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared with those treated with salvage surgery alone.

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Through multicenter, open-label, randomised clinical trials, patients with resectable locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma are randomized into salvage surgery plus PD-1 treatment group and salvage surgery alone group. The efficacy and safety of patients between these two groups are compared.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Toripalimab plus salvage surgery Toripalimab: Toripalimab treatment before and after salvage surgery. Salvage surgery: endoscopic nasopharyngectomy for recurrent nasopharyngeal tumor, and selective neck dissection for recurrent regional lymph node. |
Drug: Toripalimab
Toripalimab: 240 mg, intravenous injection over 60 minutes (Q3W); Toripalimab should be completed for 2 cycles at 1-2 weeks before surgery, and continually applied since 1-2 weeks after surgery until confirmed disease progression, death, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, investigator decision, or 1 year.
Other Names:
Procedure: salvage surgery
Endoscopic nasopharyngectomy is used for recurrent nasopharyngeal tumor and selective neck dissection for recurrent regional lymph node.

Active Comparator: Salvage surgery alone 1. Salvage surgery: endoscopic nasopharyngectomy for recurrent nasopharyngeal tumor, and selective neck dissection for recurrent regional lymph node. |
Procedure: salvage surgery

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Disease-free survival [2 years]
Defined as the time interval from randomization to disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever come first.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Objective Response Rate [3-5 weeks]
Defined as the proportion of patients with radiologically confirmed complete or partial response according to RECIST 1.1.
- Major Pathological Response Rate [4-6 weeks]
Defined as the proportion of patients with no more than 10% viable tumor cells which is identified on routine hematoxylin and eosin staining within the recurrent nasopharyngeal tumor and/or regional lymph node after neoadjuvant PD-1 treatment.
- Overall Survival [2 years]
Defined as the time interval from randomization to death due to any cause.
- Distant Metastasis-Free Survival [2 years]
Defined as the time interval from randomisation to the date of first distant metastases.
- Locoregional Relapse-Free Survival [2 years]
Defined as the time from randomisation to the date of first locoregional relapse.
- Score of survival quality according to the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 (V3.0) [up to 2 years]
Score of survival quality according to the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 (V3.0) before treatment, during treatment, after treatment.
- Score of survival quality according to the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Head and Neck (The QLQ-H&N35) [up to 2 years]
Score of survival quality according to the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire Head and Neck (The QLQ-H&N35) before treatment, during treatment, after treatment.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-

Resectable nasopharyngeal diseases: recurrent T1 (the tumor is confined in nasopharynx, oropharynx and/or nasal cavity without parapharyngeal involvement); recurrent T2 (the tumor is confined in the superficial parapharyngeal spacer and is more than 0.5cm far from the internal carotid artery) and recurrent T3 (the tumor is confined in the base wall of the sphenoid sinus and is more than 0.5cm far from the internal carotid artery and cavernous sinus). (according to the 8th edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for nasopharyngeal carcinoma)
-
Resectable recurrent regional lymph node diseases (recurrent N1-3) without prevertebral fascia, cervical vertebrae, or common/internal carotid artery involvement. (according to the 8th edition of AJCC staging system)
-
Given written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≤70.
