About this trial

This phase II randomized trial evaluates PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy followed by immediate versus selective re-irradiation in locally advanced recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The study aims to determine whether sequential radiotherapy provides additional survival benefit beyond systemic immunochemotherapy.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age 18-70 years, any gender.

Local recurrence (with or without regional recurrence) more than one year after radical treatment and unsuitable for surgery.

Pathologically confirmed non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma (WHO type II or III).

Achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after 4-6 cycles of chemotherapy plus PD-1 inhibitor therapy.

Disqualifiers

Presence of grade 3 or higher late radiation toxicity (excluding skin, subcutaneous tissue, and mucosa) at the time of recurrence

Prior anti-tumor therapy for recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, or immunotherapy.

Prior treatment with PD-1/PD-L1 or CTLA-4 inhibitors.

History of other malignancies within the past 5 years, except adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell skin cancer, or in-situ cervical cancer.
