Dual-Action antibody may boost chemoradiotherapy against High-Risk nasopharyngeal cancer
NCT ID NCT07064902
First seen Jul 16, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests whether adding ivonescimab—a drug that blocks both PD-1 and VEGF—to standard chemoradiotherapy improves outcomes for people with high-risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The study enrolls adults aged 18–65 with previously untreated stage T3N2M0 or stage III disease. Participants receive ivonescimab before and after chemoradiotherapy, and researchers measure how many achieve a complete response.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ivonescimab (AK112), a PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could improve complete response rates and long-term control for high-risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase, single-arm trial with a small sample size, so results may not be definitive or generalizable. Immune-related side effects are possible.
