Overview

This is a single-arm, open, II phase study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Nivolumab + carboplatin + paclitaxel in 25 newly diagnosed patients with primary tracheal squamous cell carcinoma.

Description

Primary tracheal tumors are rare, comprising 0.01-0.4% of all cancer cases. Most airway tumors present with non-specific symptoms, such as shortness of breath and a sore throat, which may not be attributable to the tumors themselves, leading to diagnostic delay. With limited treatment options, surgical resection is considered the cornerstone therapy. Neoadjuvant therapy is recommended as standard treatment for the early stages (stage IB/II) and locally advanced stages (stage IIIA) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Whether neoadjuvant therapy affects subsequent pathological or surgical outcomes of primary tracheal tumors remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize the outcomes of neoadjuvant therapy for the treatment of primary tracheal squamous cell carcinoma.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Bronchoscopic biopsy confirmed as tracheal squamous cell carcinoma by pathological examination
  2. PET-CT confirmed no metastasis;
  3. ECOG physical status score 0-1;
  4. Bronchoscopy, and chest CT is evaluated as early or locally advanced tracheal malignant tumor, and radical surgery is expected to be feasible or after neoadjuvant therapy.
  5. Age ≥ 18 years;
  6. Have one measurable lesion at least;
  7. Good function of other major organs (liver, kidney, blood system, etc.):-absolute neutrophil count ((ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 109), platelet (≥ 100 × 109), hemoglobin (≥ 90g/L). Note: patients shall not receive blood transfusion or growth factor support within 14 days before blood collection during the screening period;-International standardized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × normal upper limit (ULN);-activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN;- serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (Gilbert syndrome patients with total bilirubin must be < 3×ULN). Fertile female patients with aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (AST and ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN, or liver metastasis with AST and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN
  8. Fertile female patients must voluntarily take effective contraceptive measures more than 120 days after chemotherapy or the last administration of Nivolumab, whichever is later, and the urine or serum pregnancy test results less than 7 days before entering the group were negative. Unsterilized male patients must voluntarily take effective contraceptive measures ≥ 120 days after chemotherapy or the last administration of Nivolumab, whichever is the latter.
  9. Sign informed consent;

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any Chinese herbal medicine used to control cancer was used within 14 days before the first administration of the study drug;
  2. Patients with other malignant tumors in the five years before the start of this trial.
  3. Complicated with unstable systemic diseases, including active infections, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina pectoris, congestive heart failure [higher than II (New York College of Cardiology)], severe arrhythmias, liver, kidney or metabolic diseases;
  4. Active, known or suspected autoimmune diseases, or autoimmune paraneoplastic syndrome requiring systemic treatment;
  5. A history of active bleeding or embolism within 6 months, or received thrombolysis or anticoagulation therapy, or the researchers believe that there is an obvious tendency of gastrointestinal bleeding (such as esophageal varices have the risk of bleeding, local active ulcer lesions, etc.);
  6. Had is suffering from nephrotic syndrome
  7. Allergic to experimental drugs;
  8. Complicated with HIV infection or active hepatitis.
  9. Vaccination within 4 weeks before the start of this trial;
  10. Those who had undergone other major operations or severe injuries within the previous 2 months;
  11. Clinically uncontrolled pleural effusion or ascites requiring pleural or abdominal puncture drainage within 2 weeks before admission;
  12. Pregnant or lactating women;
  13. Those with neurological diseases or mental disorders.
  14. Participated in another therapeutic clinical study at the same time;
  15. Other researchers did not consider it appropriate to enroll in the group.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
