NCT ID NCT07645846

First seen Jun 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a new approach for people with advanced sinonasal carcinoma, a rare cancer of the sinuses. Before surgery, patients receive a combination of two chemotherapy drugs (docetaxel and cisplatin) plus two immunotherapy drugs (sintilimab and ipilimumab). The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to improve surgical outcomes and possibly preserve facial structures. The study will enroll 23 participants and measure how many have a major response in their tumor tissue after treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

docetaxel, cisplatin, sintilimab, and ipilimumab

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a more effective treatment for advanced sinonasal cancer that also helps preserve facial organs and functions.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 23 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination of chemotherapy and dual immunotherapy may cause significant side effects.
