GAPP Induction and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Toripalimab Maintenance for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

Toripalimab Plus Anlotinib Combined with GP Induction Chemotherapy and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Toripalimab Maintenance Therapy for High-risk, Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma：A Single-arm, Phase II Clinical Trial

In order to explore the efficacy and safety of targeted therapy and immunotherapy combined with GP chemotherapy in the treatment of high risk advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the investigators design a single-arm, Phase II clinical trial targeted high-risk patients with local stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (stage IVa: TanyN3M0/T4N0-2M0,8th AJCC/UICC staging) for Toripalimab Plus Anlotinib Combined With GP Induction Chemotherapy and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Toripalimab Maintenance Therapy.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Toripalimab; Drug: Anlotinib; Drug: Gemcitabine; Drug: Cisplatin; Radiation: radiation

Detailed Description

In order to explore the efficacy and safety of targeted therapy and immunotherapy combined with GP chemotherapy in the treatment of high risk advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the investigators design a single-arm, Phase II clinical trial targeted high-risk patients with local stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (stage IVa: TanyN3M0/T4N0-2M0,8th AJCC/UICC staging) for Toripalimab Plus Anlotinib Combined With GP Induction Chemotherapy and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Toripalimab Maintenance Therapy. The investigators focus on the 2-year PFS as the primary outcome.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Experimental group; Toripalimab Plus Anlotinib Combined With GP Induction Chemotherapy and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Toripalimab Maintenance Therapy

Drug: Toripalimab; Fixed dose: 240mg/ time, add 100ml normal saline, intravenous infusion for 30 minutes (not less than 20 minutes, not more than 60 minutes). The first course of induction chemotherapy (D1) is used on the first day of each cycle, and every 21 days is a course of treatment up to 18 courses or one year. After intravenous infusion of triplelizumab, GP regimen induction chemotherapy was administered at an interval of 30-60 minutes.; Drug: Anlotinib; Oral administration before breakfast, 10mg/ time/day, once a day (d1-14), repeated every 3 weeks, using three courses, one week before radiotherapy discontinuation. Use on the day the first course of induction chemotherapy begins (D1).; Drug: Gemcitabine; 1000mg/m2, D1, D8, add 0.9% normal saline 500ml, intravenous infusion. Every 21 days is a treatment cycle. If the recovery of toxicity in the subject is not sufficient for the next course of chemotherapy, the start of the next course of chemotherapy may be appropriately delayed, but the delay cannot exceed 21 days. The treatment was continued for 3 courses.; Drug: Cisplatin; Induction Chemotherapy: 80mg/m2, D1, add 1000ml 0.9% normal saline, intravenous infusion for 3 hours. Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy100mg/m2, add 5% glucose 500ml, intravenous drip. Use on the first day of each cycle, every 21 days for a treatment cycle; Radiation: radiation; IMRT, 33Fx
