Radscopal Radiotherapy Plus Immunotherapy for Chemotherapy-Ineligible Patients With Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Cancer: A Single-Center, Open-Label, Phase II Study
Starting soon · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC), Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
In brief
The RADIANCE trial plans to enroll patients with chemotherapy-ineligible de novo metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (AJCC 9th edition, TxNxM1). Participants will receive Radscopal radiotherapy, consisting of low-dose radiotherapy to the primary lesions and stereotactic body radiotherapy to distant metastatic lesions, in combination with sintilimab and ipilimumab. The study will evaluate the objective response rate of the primary lesions, systemic disease control as measured by progression-free survival and overall survival, and the safety and tolerability of this treatment regimen. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does this treatment improve efficacy with acceptable safety in chemotherapy-ineligible patients? Does Radscopal radiotherapy enhance systemic antitumor immunity, and what is the Radscopal Response Rate? What clinical and immunological factors are associated with the Radscopal effect, and what mechanisms may underlie this effect?
