Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
A multicenter randomized controlled study of surgery combined with neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy for locally advanced recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma in comparison to surgery combined with adjuvant therapy
Detailed description
Eligible patients are randomized into the control group and the experimental group. Patients in the experimental group would be administrated 2 courses of neoadjuvant therapy before surgery.After endoscopic surgery, patients would continue to receive 2-4 courses of chemotherapy and 8 courses of immunotherapy. Patients in the control group would firstly receive endoscopic surgery, followed by chemotherapy and immunotherapy. In total, 4 to 6 courses of chemotherapy and 10 courses of immunotherapy would be administrated.
Interventions
The tumor was resected by endoscopic nasopharyngectomy.
Two courses of Toripalimab Injection and two courses of Toripalimab Injection and Gemcitabine based chemotherapy were given before endoscopic surgery.
Eight courses of Toripalimab Injection and two to four courses of chemotherapy, or until unacceptable side effects.
Ten courses of Toripalimab Injection and four to six courses of chemotherapy,or until unacceptable side effects.

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DFS | From randomization to recurrence, metastasis or death, up to 1 year | Disease free survival |
| LRFS | From randomization to local recurrence or death, up to 1 year | Local recurrence free survival |
| DMFS | From randomization to distant metastasis or death, up to 1 year | Distant metastasis free survival |
| pCR | Time point of pathological tumor evaluation after sugery, around 2 weeks after sugery | pathologic complete response |
| OS | Time interval of randomization and death of any cause, up to 5 years | Overall Survival |
| DCR | Time point of imaging evaluation before treatment(or randomization) and before surgery,up to 1 year | Disease Control Rate,Proportion of CR, PR and SD in all patients. |
| DoR | First date of response to the date of progression, up to 5 years | Duration of response,the time from the first assessment of the tumour as CR or PR to the first assessment of PD or death from any cause (whichever event occurs first). |
