NCT ID NCT07762976

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial tests whether giving extra chemotherapy or a combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy after standard treatment can improve outcomes for people with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The choice of treatment is based on each patient's risk level, determined by changes in a blood marker (EBV-DNA) and MRI scans. The goal is to see if this personalized approach can reduce the chance of the cancer coming back or spreading.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Adjuvant therapy with capecitabine alone or combined with tislelizumab, guided by risk assessment
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could personalize adjuvant treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, potentially improving survival and reducing unnecessary side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a phase II trial, so results are preliminary. The benefit may be modest, and adding immunotherapy could increase side effects.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age: 18 - 65 years old * Pathologically confirmed nasopharyngeal carcinoma, WHO type II or III non-keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma. * AJCC/UICC 9th edition stage II - III; excluding patients with T3N0M0 (only posterior pharyngeal lymph node metastasis) and T3N1M0. * Baseline plasma EBV-DNA \> 0, and able to complete dynamic monitoring according to the protocol. * ECOG 0 - 1. * Main organ functions meet the requirements: neutrophils ≥ 2.0×10\^9/L, platelets ≥ 100×10\^9/L, hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L; ALT/AST ≤ 1.5×ULN, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5×ULN; creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 mL/min. * Signed informed consent form, willing to complete the study according to the protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * Clinical or imaging examinations have confirmed distant metastasis. * Before the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the patient had received chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy, and had a history of radiotherapy or surgery for head and neck tumors (except for diagnostic biopsies). * Has an active autoimmune disease, but the following conditions are excluded: type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism receiving replacement therapy, and skin diseases that do not require systemic treatment (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia). * Active hepatitis B with poor control of HBV DNA, active hepatitis C, HIV infection or uncontrolled infection. * Within 4 weeks before signing the informed consent form, the patient had used systemic glucocorticoids (equivalent to prednisone dose \> 10mg/day) or other immunosuppressive treatments; if the patient's systemic glucocorticoid dose is equivalent to prednisone ≤ 10mg/day or only uses inhaled or topical glucocorticoids, participation is allowed. * Has a history of active tuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection) in the past year; if active tuberculosis has been fully treated and has been over one year ago, participation is allowed. * Has a history of interstitial lung disease. * Has received live vaccines within 4 weeks before signing the informed consent form, or is about to receive live vaccines in the near future. * Pregnant or lactating women, or reproductive-aged subjects who do not agree to take effective contraceptive measures. * Has a history of other malignant tumors within the past 5 years, but the following situations are excluded: cured localized tumors, such as skin basal cell carcinoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer, prostate carcinoma in situ, cervical carcinoma in situ, breast carcinoma in situ, papillary thyroid carcinoma, etc. * Cannot take oral medications or have a known severe allergy to capecitabine, tislelizumab, or cisplatin/gemcitabine. * Has any other conditions, including symptomatic heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, active infections requiring systemic treatment, mental illness or family/social factors, which the investigator believes may affect the patient's ability to sign the informed consent form, cooperate and participate in the study, or interfere with the interpretation of the study results.
