Recurrent and/or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Famitinib is a tyrosin-inhibitor agent targeting at c-Kit, VEGFR2, PDGFR, VEGFR3, Flt1 and Flt3. Phase I study has shown that the drug's toxicity is manageable. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well famitinib works in treating patients with recurrent and/or metastatic NPC.
Interventions
25 mg qd p.o. and it should be continued until disease progression or intolerable toxicity or patients withdrawal of consent
