Toripalimab vs. Placebo Wtih GP Induction Chemotherapy in Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Toripalimab Versus Placebo Combined With Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: a Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Phase 3 Trial

Conditions

Summary

The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the combination of GP induction chemotherapy and toripalimab improve the 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) compared to GP induction chemotherapy with placebo? 2. What are the differences in CR after induction therapy, 3-year overall survival (OS), locoregional progression, and distant progression between the two groups? 3. What are the differences in safety between the two groups? 4. Are there predictive biomarkers of therapeutic efficacy, such as changes in EBV DNA or immune parameters, that correlate with treatment outcomes? Researchers will compare the GP + toripalimab group with the GP + placebo group to see if the toripalimab combination shows superior efficacy. Participants will: Receive either GP chemotherapy with toripalimab or GP chemotherapy with placebo as induction therapy. Undergo concurrent chemoradiotherapy ± adjuvant metronomic capecitabine following induction therapy. Be monitored closely for safety and efficacy outcomes.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This Phase III trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug toripalimab to standard gemcitabine-cisplatin (GP) chemotherapy improves outcomes in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (cancer at the back of the nose/throat). **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 70 years old - You have pathologically confirmed nasopharyngeal carcinoma (WHO Type II or III) - Your cancer is locoregionally advanced (N2–N3 lymph node involvement or T4 with N1), with no distant spread - You have not received prior treatment - You are in good overall health with adequate blood counts and organ function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have distant metastases - You have already received treatment for this cancer - You are pregnant or your blood counts or organ function do not meet required levels Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
