Clinical Study of Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride Liposome Injection Combined With Capecitabine Versus Capecitabine Monotherapy in Patients With Recurrent Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Who Failed Platinum-containing Treatment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a randomized, open-label, positive-controlled, multicenter Phase Ш study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection combined with capecitabine versus capecitabine monotherapy in patients with recurrent metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
Five hundred patients with recurrent metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma will be randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. The experimental group will receive mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection combined with capecitabine, and the control group will receive capecitabine alone. 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 compare the efficacy and safety of the two groups.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Experimental group Patients will receive mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection combined with capecitabine therapy |
Drug: Mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection
Mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection will be administered by intravenous infusion on day 1 in a 3-week treatment cycle.
Drug: Capecitabine
Capecitabine will be administered orally in a 3-week treatment cycle, twice a day from day 1 to day 14 of each cycle.
|
| Active Comparator: Control group Patients will receive capecitabine monotherapy. |
Drug: Capecitabine
Capecitabine will be administered orally in a 3-week treatment cycle, twice a day from day 1 to day 14 of each cycle.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by the independent review committee (IRC) [Throughout the study period, up to approximately 2 years]
Progression-Free Survival PFS is defined as the time from randomization to progression or death
- Overall survival (OS) [Throughout the study period, up to approximately 2 years]
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the duration from the date of diagnosis to death or last follow-up, with no restriction on the cause of death.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Objective response rate (ORR) assessed by the investigator and IRC [Throughout the study period, up to approximately 2 years]
Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients with a complete response or partial response to treatment
- Disease control rate (DCR) assessed by the investigator and IRC [Throughout the study period, up to approximately 2 years]
Disease Control Rate (DCR) is defined as the percentage of patients who have achieved complete response, partial response and stable disease to a therapeutic intervention in clinical trials of anticancer agents
- Duration of Response (DOR) assessed by the investigator and IRC [Throughout the study period, up to approximately 2 years]
Duration of Response (DOR) is defined as time from the first assessment of CR or PR until the date of the first occurrence of PD, or until the date of death
- Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by the investigator [Throughout the study period, up to approximately 2 years]
Progression-Free Survival PFS is defined as the time from randomization to progression or death
- Frequency and severity of AE (NCI CTCAE 5.0) [Throughout the study period, up to approximately 2 years]
- Blood concentrations of total and free mitoxantrone [At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 28 days)]
