Comparing GP chemotherapy with and without adebrelimab for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Official title: GP Plus Adebrelimab Versus GP Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Followed by Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for High-risk Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Run by Sun Yat-sen University · NCT06455410 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if adding a new immune treatment called adebrelimab to standard chemotherapy can help people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer respond better to treatment and live longer.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 65 with histologically confirmed nonkeratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma and specific tumor staging.

Probably not a fit

Patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma 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 study investigates the effectiveness and safety of combining neoadjuvant GP chemotherapy with the immune checkpoint inhibitor adebrelimab compared to GP chemotherapy alone in patients with high-risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The trial aims to determine if the addition of adebrelimab can enhance treatment outcomes, particularly in terms of response rates and survival. Participants will receive three cycles of GP chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The study will include patients aged 18 to 65 with specific tumor staging and no prior anti-tumor treatments.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve treatment outcomes and survival rates for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with similar combinations of chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
