Overview

The aim of the study was to determine the efficacy and safety of toripalimab combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of oligometastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Description

Chemotherapy has been widely used for the treatment of relapsed or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, the long-term survival and quality of life of patients was still unsatisfactory. In this prospective, multicenter, single arm study, the efficacy and safety of toripalimab combined with radiotherapy in the treatment of oligometastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma is determined.

  4. Pathology or imaging confirmed metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.( Clinical stage of IVB according to the 8th edition of AJCC)
  5. Imaging (preferred PET-CT) confirmed oligometastatic NPC (defined as ≤5 metastatic lesions, ≤2 metastatic organs)
  6. Have not received any treatment for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
  7. Unsuitable or unwilling to receive chemotherapy according to the judgment of investigator.
  8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score 0-1
  9. Estimated life ≥ 6 month
  10. At least 1 measurable lesions according to RECIST v1.1

     systemic treatment (e.g. vitiligo, psoriasis, alopecia); Any other disease which is
     not expected to be relapsed without external stimulate

3. Any active malignancy ≤ 2 years before randomization except for the specific cancer

     under investigation in this study and any locally relapsed cancer that has been
     cured after treatment (eg, resected basal or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial
     bladder cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast)

4. Received corticosteroid therapy at a dose ≥ 10 mg prednisone per day or any other

systemic immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to enrollment.
