Nivolumab with chemotherapy for treating primary tracheal squamous cell carcinoma

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 2 clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of combining Nivolumab with carboplatin and paclitaxel in 25 patients newly diagnosed with primary tracheal squamous cell carcinoma. The study aims to assess the impact of neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy on treatment outcomes, particularly in terms of surgical feasibility and pathological results. Given the rarity of primary tracheal tumors and the limited treatment options available, this research seeks to provide insights into effective therapeutic strategies for this challenging condition.

Fertile female patients with aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (AST and ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN, or liver metastasis with AST and ALT ≤ 5 × ULN
8. Fertile female patients must voluntarily take effective contraceptive measures more than 120 days after chemotherapy or the last administration of Nivolumab, whichever is later, and the urine or serum pregnancy test results less than 7 days before entering the group were negative. Unsterilized male patients must voluntarily take effective contraceptive measures ≥ 120 days after chemotherapy or the last administration of Nivolumab, whichever is the latter.
