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.
