Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
Multicentre , non-randomized, prospective clinical trial to assess efficacy of Nivolumab in treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer who progressed during or after platinum-based chemotherapy . Patients disqualified from radical therapy . The total number of patients was estimated for 32.
Interventions
DRUGOpdivo
Dose of Nivolumab is constant and is 240 mg .All patients will undergo maximum of 12 cycles of investigation product's infusion ( around 6 month of treatment).Each cycle will be done in intervals of 14 day (no less than 12 days after previous infusion and no longer than 42 day/6 weeks after previous infusion).

Exclusion criteria

Abnormalities in blood count such as: hemoglobin \< 9 g/dl, platelets \< 100 x 109 /L, Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) \<1,0 x 109 /L 5. Ejection fraction in echocardiography \< 50% 6. History of active autoimmune diseases except for type I diabetes, hypothyroidism (treated only with hormone supplementation), psoriasis, albinism. 7. Patient with diagnosed mental disorder preventing, in Investigator's opinion, from participating in a clinical trial. 8. Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 9. Female with childbearing potential or male participant with female partner of childbearing potential, who is unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the entire clinical trial period and for 5 months after the end of treatment (last infusion) 10. Prior therapy with an anti-PD-1/L1/L2 and/or anti-ICOS directed agent 11. Patient is currently participating in another clinical trial. 12. Active infection, which significantly affects the patient's clinical condition and requires treatment. 13. Patient with prior bone marrow or solid organ transplantation. 14. Patient requires immunosuppressive agents, including steroids (daily dose of prednisone or equivalent \> 10 mg) 15. Known immunodeficiency including HIV/AIDS(human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) infection. 16. Patient received any live vaccine within 28 days before enrollment. 17. Heart Failure - NYHA(New York Heart Association functional classification system) III or IV 18. Coexistence of active malignant tumor or history of malignant tumor after radical treatment with disease-free period \> 2 years, except: cervical cancer in situ/ basocellular skin cancer/prostate cancer, after radical treatment. 19. Other comorbidities symptoms or conditions that in Investigator's judgement prevent patient from participation in clinical trial.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Objective response rate (ORR) | 12 weeks | Percentage of objective responses (partial and complete responses combined /partial response (PR)+ complete response(CR)/ by immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (iRECIST) response criteria) in MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) after 12 weeks. 1. Partial response - at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD(longest diameter) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD(longest diameter) 2. Complete response (CR)- disappearance of all target lesions and short dimension of all lymph nodes \< 10 mm |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival (OS) rate- time of total survival | at 6 months (treatment phase), 12 months and 18 months (6th month and 12th month of long term follow up) | — |
| DCR(disease control rate) per RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) | through study completion, an average of 6 months | Defined as not meeting the criteria for progression and PR(partial response) |
| 1.Progression- free survival (PFS) by iRECIST( immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) criteria- from the beginning of treatment to the progression of disease or death. | 6 month of treatment phase | Progression will be evaluated in MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and defined according to iRECIST(immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) criteria: * least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study) and the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. * the appearance of one or more new lesions |
| Change in quality of life in EORTC QLQ-C30(European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire) (version 3.0) .A high scale score represents a higher response level. | from first infusion to last follow up ( 3 month, 6 month, 9 month,12month follow up) | — |
| Safety assessment of treatment with Nivolumab measured by excesive toxity | Each visit during treatment phase -12 cycles of investigation product's infusion (around 6 month of treatment). | — |
| DoR(duration of response) per RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours) | through study completion, an average of 1 year | Measured in MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) from the time when measurement criteria for complete/ partial response are met till time when progression of the disease is documented. |
