Individualized Primary Clinical Target Volume Based on Margin Expansion for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Non-Inferiority, Multicenter, Randomized Phase 3 Trial

This is a non-inferiority, multicenter, randomized phase 3 trial aimed to evaluate whether primary clinical target volume (CTVp) delineation based on margin expansion provides comparable outcomes compared with the consensus CTVp approach based on margin expansion and the stepwise extension pattern in newly diagnosed non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Description détaillée

This multicenter, prospective, randomized phase 3 trial aims to evaluate a margin-expansion-based primary clinical target volume (CTVp) delineation strategy in patients with newly diagnosed non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of this CTVp approach compared with the consensus CTVp defined by the CSTRO, CACA, CSCO, HNCIG, ESTRO, and ASTRO guidelines (which incorporate both margin expansion and local stepwise extension patterns), with local relapse-free survival as the primary endpoint. Secondary objectives include comparisons of overall survival, failure-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, locoregional relapse-free survival, and regional relapse-free survival between the two CTVp strategies, as well as assessments of radiotherapy-related complications, quality of life, and their impact on the tumor immune microenvironment, along with exploration of the underlying biological mechanisms.

Eligible patients will be prospectively enrolled from multiple centers across China and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either the margin-based CTVp or the consensus guideline-based CTVp. Comprehensive treatment in both arms will follow current clinical guidelines and be stratified by tumor stage. Prognosis, toxicity, and quality-of-life outcomes will be systematically compared between the two groups.
