Conditions

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, Local Recurrence

Brief summary

This study enrolls patients who have experienced local recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with or without regional recurrence. The treatment regimen includes an induction phase with MRG003 at 2.0 mg/kg (D1) combined with Tislelizumab 200 mg (D1), administered weekly for 6 cycles. This is followed by maintenance therapy consisting of Capecitabine (650 mg/m², twice daily on days 1-21) in combination with Tislelizumab, continued for up to 1 year or until disease progression.

Interventions

DRUGMRG003

MRG003 at 2.0 mg/kg (D1) will be administered every three weeks for 6 cycles

DRUGTislelizumab

Tislelizumab 200 mg (D1) will be administered every three weeks for 6 cycles. Upon achieving an objective response, maintenance therapy will continue for up to one year or until disease progression is observed.

DRUGCapecitabine

After achieving an objective response (ORR) with the combination of MRG003 and Tislelizumab, maintenance therapy will consist of Capecitabine (650 mg/m², administered twice daily on Days 1-21) in conjunction with Tislelizumab. This maintenance phase will continue for up to one year or until disease progression is observed.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response RateDay 21 after the completion of six cycles of MRG003 treatmentThe Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) by Day 21 after the completion of six cycles of MRG003 treatment, starting from the date of enrollment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS)1-year; 3-yearOS is defined as the time from enrollment to the date of death from any cause, or to the date of the last follow-up if no death has occurred.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)1-year; 3-yearPFS is defined as the time from enrollment to the date of tumor progression or death from any cause, or to the date of the last follow-up if no progression has occurred.
Duration of Response (DOR)1-year; 3-yearDOR is defined as the time from the first assessment of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) to the first assessment of Progressive Disease (PD) or death from any cause
Disease Control Rate (DCR)Day 21 after the completion of six cycles of MRG003 treatmentDCR is defined as the proportion of subjects who achieve Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) after treatment.
