About this study
Official title: Under Whole-course of Immunotherapy, Gradient Fractionated Radiotherapy with Concurrent Chemotherapy Versus Standard Fractionated Radiotherapy with Concurrent Chemotherapy for Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Who Achieved Partial Response After Induction Chemotherapy: a Randomized, Open-label, Multicenter, Phase III Trial.
This prospective trial aims to enroll patients with stage III-IVA (AJCC 8th,) locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Under the condition of full course of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades, patients who achieved radiological partial response after 3 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 blockades will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive gradient radiotherapy (reducing the irradiation dose of PET-CT areas without metabolic abnormalities, while maintaining adequate irradiation dose of areas with metabolic abnormalities) or standard dose radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy. It is expected to provide a new therapeutic option for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma at moderate risk.

- Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, De-escalation Therapy
- Being tested
- Full course of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades, Cisplatin-based induction chemotherapy, Standard-dose IMRT, Gradient Fractionated IMRT, Concurrent Chemotherapy

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Full course of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades, Cisplatin-based induction chemotherapy and Standard-dose IMRT in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma and De-escalation Therapy, 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 9 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2024. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Contact Ming-Yuan Chen, MD,PhD (+86-20-87343361, chenmy@sysucc.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progress-Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Nov 2024.
