Combining Envafolimab with Chemoradiotherapy for Advanced Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Official title: Envafolimab Plus Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, a Prospective, Single Armed Phase II Trial.
Run by Sun Yat-sen University · NCT05397769 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if combining a new drug called Envafolimab with standard chemotherapy and radiation can help people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer live longer without their cancer getting worse.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are untreated patients with stage III-IVa non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma and an ECOG performance status of 0-1.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma or those who have previously received chemotherapy or radiation will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial focuses on patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma who will receive a combination of Envafolimab and chemoradiotherapy. Participants will undergo three cycles of induction chemotherapy with GP and Envafolimab, followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy using intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The study aims to evaluate the three-year progression-free survival rate of patients receiving this treatment regimen. The trial is designed as a single-arm Phase II study, meaning all participants will receive the same treatment without a control group.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment approach could improve survival rates for patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies combining immunotherapy with chemoradiotherapy have shown promise in other cancer types, suggesting potential for success.
