What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding a precise form of radiation (SBRT) to the immunotherapy drug camrelizumab helps control cancer better than camrelizumab alone in people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). About 188 adults whose primary tumor is under control and who have had at least one round of chemotherapy will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The main goal is to see how long patients live without their cancer getting worse.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
camrelizumab (an immunotherapy drug) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT, a precise type of radiation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding targeted radiation to immunotherapy helps control cancer spread better than immunotherapy alone, potentially improving how long patients live without their cancer getting worse.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 3 trial, but it is still recruiting and results are not yet known. The combination may cause more side effects than immunotherapy alone, and it is only tested in a specific group of patients with limited metastases.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female; 18-70 years of age. 2. Primary lesion and regional lymph nodes completed radical radiotherapy 3 months before stereotactic body radiotherapy and diseases well controlled. 3. Underwent at least first-line systemic chemotherapy, regardless of regimen and curative effect. 4. Imageological evidence for oligometastatic lesions (metastatic tissue biopsy preferred but not necessary). The number of total metastatic lesions no more than 5 and the number of metastatic lesions within a single organ no more than 3. 5. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. 6. Stereotactic body radiotherapy applicable for all metastatic lesions according to MDT. 7. If metastatic lesions have received local treatment (surgery, radiofrequency ablation, radiotherapy etc.): * Eligible if treated lesion is well controlled according to imageological examinations, and the lesion does not need stereotactic body radiotherapy. * If treated lesion is not controlled according to imageological examinations: * Eligible if the treatment is surgery and that stereotactic body radiotherapy is applicable for the treated lesion. * Ineligible if the treatment is radiofrequency ablation or radiotherapy. 8. Maximum diameter of brain metastatic lesion no more than 3cm. 9. Maximum diameter of metastatic lesion (brain excluded) no more than 5cm. * Maximum diameter of bone metastatic lesion no more than 6cm if attending doctor decides it is safe to apply the treatment. 10. Life expectancy more than 12 weeks. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 or CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody) failure. 2. CHD no less than grade 2, arrhythmia (QTc interval over 450ms for male and 470ms for female) or cardiac insufficiency. 3. History of severe hypersensitivity to any ingredient of PD-1/PD-L1 or other monoclonal antibody. 4. chemotherapy (cytotoxic or molecular targeted) within 4 weeks before stereotactic body radiotherapy. 5. Imageological evidence for spinal cord compression, or tumor less than 3mm away from spinal cord. 6. Patient with brain metastasis who needs decompression surgery. 7. Other malignancy or malignant hydrothorax. 8. Concurrent known or suspicious autoimmune disease, including dementia and epilepsy. 9. Use of large dose corticosteroids within 4 weeks before study drug administration. 10. Concurrent medical condition requiring the use of immunosuppressive medications, or immunosuppressive doses of systemic or absorbable topical corticosteroids. 11. Active tuberculosis (TB), anti-TB treatment is ongoing or within 1 year prior to screening 12. Subjects with any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease, or history of syndrome that requires systemic steroids or immunosuppressive medications, including but not limited to the following: rheumatoid arthritis, pneumonitis, colitis (inflammatory bowel disease), hepatitis, hypophysitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism, except for subjects with vitiligo or resolved childhood asthma/atopy. 13. Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), has hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive with hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA copy number of ≥1000cps/ml or hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive. 14.
