About this trial

This phase III randomized trial evaluates PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy followed by immediate versus salvage locoregional radiotherapy in de novo metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The study aims to evaluate whether salvage locoregional radiotherapy is non-inferior to immediate radiotherapy following PD-1 inhibitor plus GP in de novo metastatic NPC, with potential for reduced toxicity.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age 18-70 years, any gender.

Histologically confirmed differentiated non-keratinizing carcinoma or undifferentiated non-keratinizing carcinoma by tissue biopsy, with radiologically detectable metastatic lesions. Pathological confirmation of metastatic lesions is recommended but not mandatory.

ECOG performance status 0-1.

Stage IV NPC according to the 9th edition of the UICC/AJCC staging system.

Disqualifiers

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

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

Presence of uncontrolled or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases.

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