About this trial
The clinical efficacy of nivolumab for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with residual disease after standard chemoradiotherapy is not known. In this study, we aim to investigate the role of nivolumab in locally advanced NPC after chemoradiotherapy the safety profile and antitumor activity of the anti-programmed death 1 (PD-1) receptor monoclonal antibody, nivolumab after in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Male or female
Age (at the time of informed consent): 19 years and older
Subjects with histologically- or cytologically-confirmed advanced Nasopharyngeal cancer (Stage II -IVa) according to 8th edition clinical staging system of the American Joint Committee on Cancer before the start of concurrent chemoradiotherapy
Patients who have recovered from previous toxicities of standard chemoradiotherapy (Grade ≤1).
Disqualifiers
Patients with multiple primary cancers (with the exception of completely resected basal cell carcinoma, stage I squamous cell carcinoma, carcinoma in situ, intramucosal carcinoma, or superficial bladder cancer, or any other cancer that has not recurred for at least 5 years)
Patients with residual adverse effects of prior therapy or effects of surgery that would affect the safety evaluation of the investigational product in the opinion of the investigator or sub-investigator.
Patients with current or past history of severe hypersensitivity to any other antibody products
Patients with concurrent autoimmune disease or history of chronic or recurrent autoimmune disease
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Nivolumab
DrugDosage within 12 weeks after the end of concurrent chemoradiation therapy. Nivolumab 360mg Intravenously administered every 3 weeks. As a consolidation regimen, administration of Nivolumab is administered for up to a total of 1 year until disease progression or unacceptable to toxicity occurs.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-free survival (PFS) rate at 2years
Progression-free survival rate at 2 years, which is the primary endpoint, will be measured by the proportion of patients who remain progression-free after 2 years of study registration.
Secondary outcomes
Object response rate (ORR)
according to RECIST 1.1 criteria
Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival will be followed continuously while subjects are on the study drug and every 6 months after discontinuation or progression for up to 5 years following the start of therapy either by direct contact (office visits) or via telephone contact, until death, withdrawal of study consent, or lost to follow-up.
Subject with Treatment Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0
The procedures and assessments may be performed as part of standard of care; however, data for these assessments should remain in the subject's medical record and should not be provided to Ono unless specifically requested. NCI CTCAE Version 5.0 will be the criteria used to assess adverse events.
Multiplexed biomarker analysis of tumor and immune cells in the TME
To understand correlated expressions of protein markers related to therapy response, multiplexed-image analysis (Vectra Polaris® and inForm®, PerkinElmer) is applied in tumor tissues
