NCT ID NCT07756190

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial is testing whether a special type of radiation called radscopal radiotherapy—which combines low-dose radiation to the main tumor and precise high-dose radiation to distant metastases—can enhance the effects of two immunotherapy drugs (sintilimab and ipilimumab) in people with metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who cannot receive chemotherapy. The study aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors, control the disease throughout the body, and improve survival, while also being safe and tolerable. Participants will receive the treatment for up to six months, and researchers will monitor their response and any side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Radscopal radiotherapy (low-dose radiotherapy to primary lesions plus stereotactic body radiotherapy to metastases) combined with sintilimab and ipilimumab
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new first-line treatment option for people with metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who cannot receive chemotherapy, potentially improving tumor control and survival.
What could go wrong
This is a small phase II trial, so results may not be definitive. The combination may cause significant immune-related side effects, and the benefit over existing treatments is not yet established.

ECOG performance status 0-2. * 5\. PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) ≥1. * 6\. Chemotherapy-ineligible, including patients medically unsuitable for platinum-based chemotherapy or patients who refuse standard platinum-based chemotherapy after being fully informed. * 7\. Life expectancy ≥6 months. * 8\. Adequate organ function, including ANC ≥1.0 × 10\^9/L, platelets ≥75 × 10\^9/L, hemoglobin ≥80 g/L, ALT/AST ≤3 × ULN, bilirubin ≤2 × ULN, creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min, and LVEF ≥45% or normal echocardiography. * 9\. No major surgery within 1 month before enrollment. * 10\. No immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory therapy within 1 month before immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. * 11\. Written informed consent and ability to comply with study procedures and follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. Age \<18 years. * 2\. \>10 metastatic lesions, meningeal metastasis, spinal cord compression, or lesions unsuitable for safe stereotactic body radiotherapy. * 3\. Other malignancy within 5 years, except cured basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, papillary thyroid carcinoma, or cervical carcinoma in situ. * 4\.

Active hepatitis B infection, defined as HBsAg positivity with HBV DNA \>200 IU/mL or \>1000 copies/mL. * 6\. Positive hepatitis C virus antibody. * 7\. Active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease, except type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism requiring only hormone replacement, or skin disorders not requiring systemic treatment. * 8\.
