Official title
Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Combined With Nimotuzumab in Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma After First-line Treatment Failure: A Single-arm Phase IIa Clinical Trial
Overview
This study aims to preliminarily explore the efficacy and safety of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab in combination with Nimotuzumab for the treatment of recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). It is expected to investigate a novel therapeutic regimen with improved efficacy and enhanced safety for recurrent/metastatic NPC, thereby providing robust evidence-based medical support for the application of dual-target immune checkpoint inhibitors in nasopharyngeal carcinoma therapy
Interventions
- Drug Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab
Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab combined with Nimotuzumab , administered on Day 1 every 3 weeks (D1 Q3W), until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Primary outcome measures
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- 2-Year Progression-Free Survival Rate (PFS) [Time frame: 2-year]
