About this study
Official title: Penpulimab Combined With GP ± Arotinib Induction Therapy + Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy + Adjuvant Penpulimab in Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Phase II Clinical Trial
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of a combination of GP chemotherapy and Penpulimab ± Anlotinib in neoadjuvant therapy combined with Penpulimab in adjuvant therapy of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
Read the detailed description
Radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy is the standard treatment method for locally advanced NPC. In the 2020 National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, GP regimen induction chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy has been established as evidence-based grade 2A.
Based on the results of phase 3 clinical trials, the addition of PD-1 monoclonal antibody to GP chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for patients with recurrent or metastatic nonkeratinizing NPC provided superior PFS, ORR and DoR than GP alone while maintaining a manageable safety profile. Therefore, the combination of PD-1 monoclonal antibody in GP induction chemotherapy may further improve the prognosis of patients with locally advanced NPC.
There is a complex interaction between tumor immune microenvironment and tumor vascular remodeling. Anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody combined with anti-VEGF have synergistic effect and inhibit tumor growth.
Penpulimab is a new type of PD-1 monoclonal antibody. It has the characteristics of strong antigen binding and slow dissociation rate, which can maintain the antitumor activity of T cells.
Anlotinib is a multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). It can effectively inhibit a variety of receptors, including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), and block tumor angiogenesis more comprehensively.
Based on the above research background, this study adopts a two-stage design:
Stage I (Pick the Winner Study): For patients with locally advanced NPC, the complete response rate (CR) of tumor after induction chemotherapy was compared between the two groups of patients receiving GP + Penpulimab and GP + Penpulimab + arotinib before radiotherapy. The regimen with higher CR rate was the winner at this stage.
Stage II ( Cohort Expansion Study): The 3-year failure free survival (FFS) of patients in the winning regimen of expansion cohort was calculated through long-term follow-up and compared with the data in previous trials.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Stage 1(Pick the Winner Study): Complete Response
The proportion of patients who had a complete response was defined as those with all pathological cervical lymph nodes being less than 10 mm in the short axis and no unequivocal soft tissue mass in the local region. Disease response was evaluatedby by the Investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Clopper Pearson method
Measured: 9 weeks
Stage 2 (Cohort Expansion Study): Failure-free survival (FFS)
Defined as the time from registration to documented local or regional relapse, distant metastasis, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
Measured: 3 years
Secondary outcomes (5)
Overall survival (OS)
Defined as the time from registration to death from any cause or censored at the date of last follow-up.
Measured: 3 years
Locoregional failure-free survival (LRRFS)
Defined as the time from registration to local or regional relapse, or death from any cause.
Measured: 3 years
Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS)
Defined as the time from registration to distant metastasis, or death from any cause.
Measured: 3 years
Incidence rate of adverse events (AEs)
Analysis of acute and late adverse events (AEs) are evaluated. Numbers of patients of treatment-related adverse events (acute toxicity) and late radiation toxicities were assessed by CTCAE v5.0.
Measured: 3 years
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective response rate (ORR) was assessed by the site Investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) and was defined as the percentage of patients with a confirmed overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) and was based on all treated patients who had measurable disease at baseline (Day 1). 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Clopper Pearson method.
Measured: 9 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing GP+Penpulimab+Anlotinib and GP+Penpulimab in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Stage 1(Pick the Winner Study): Complete Response (time frame: 9 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05193617, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Oct 2026.
