Overview

Adjuvant Therapy Versus Endoscopic Surgery Alone in Early-stage Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Description

This study is an open-label, multicentered, evaluator-blinded , randomized clinical trial.

Patients with early-stage recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma were randomized into the control group and the experimental group. Patients in the control group would go through observation and follow-up after recurrent endoscopic surgery, while patients in the experimental group would be treated with adjuvant therapy such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy. A total of 176 subjects are required, with 88 patients in the control group and 88 patients in the experimental group.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Pathologically diagnosed with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma;
  2. Stage rT1 or rT2(superficial parapharyngeal space, distance to internal carotid artery >5mm)or rT3 (confined to the bottom wall of the sphenoid sinus),according to AJCC 8th edition;
  3. Cervical lymph node metastasis can be controlled locally
  4. Age 18 to 75 years;
  5. Without distant metastasis;
  6. Informed consent forms signed;
  7. ≥6months from the accomplishment of radiation to recurrence
  8. previously radiotherapy for only 1 course;
  9. ECOG score 0-2 and can tolerate chemotherapy and immunotherapy
  10. Sufficient organ function;
  11. Undergone endoscopic surgery with negative pathological margin;

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participation in other interventional clinical trials;
  2. Uncontrolled illnesses which will interfere with the ability to undergo therapy;
  3. Suffering from another or multiple malignancy within 5 years (excluding fully treated basal cell or skin squamous cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ);
  4. Any contradiction to immune and chemotherapy;
  5. With serious autoimmune disease;
  6. Currently usage of immunosuppressive agents or systemic glucocorticoid therapy (dosage>10mg/day prednisone or other glucocorticoids), and continuing to use them within 2 weeks before the first administration of trial drugs;
  7. Severe allergic reactions to other monoclonal antibodies;
  8. History of radioactive particle planting;
  9. Vaccination with live vaccine within 4 weeks prior to initial administration or possibly during the study period;
  10. Female patients who are at pregnancy or lactation;
  11. Other situations that the researchers believe are not suitable for enrollment
