Intratumoral Injection of Recombinant Human Endostatin Adenovirus (EDS01) for the Treatment of Recurrent or Metastatic Head and Neck Tumors

This single-center, Phase 1 study is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity of recombinant human endostatin adenovirus injection (EDS01) given by intratumoral injection in combination with toripalimab in adults with recurrent or metastatic head and neck tumors, including nasopharyngeal carcinoma, whose disease has progressed after platinum-based systemic therapy or who are not suitable for further platinum treatment. A total of 9 participants will be enrolled in 3 planned dose groups of EDS01. EDS01 will be injected directly into an accessible tumor lesion on Days 0 and 7, and toripalimab 240 mg will be administered intravenously on Day 1 of each treatment cycle for up to 4 cycles, unless disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurs. The study will evaluate treatment-related adverse events as well as preliminary efficacy outcomes, including tumor response, disease control, and time to progression, using clinical assessments, laboratory tests, imaging, and follow-up after treatment.

International Collaborative Study on AJCC/UICC TNM-10 for Nasopharyngeal Cancer

The goal of this international, multicenter, prospective observational study is to improve prognostication and prediction of failure pattern for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), in order to provide more accurate guidance for personalized treatment decision. Firstly, we aim to improve the fundamental TNM staging system \[The American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC)/Union for International Cancer Control(UICC) TNM Version-Nine\] based on universally assessable anatomical parameters. Secondly, we aim to further refine prognostication for individual patients by integrating anatomical TNM parameters with non-anatomical factors and molecular biomarkers. In addition to the core group of participating centers from China (including Hong Kong) where NPC is most prevalent, the study will enrol patients from multiple countries/regions including those from non-endemic areas to provide global data. Patients treated with contemplary treatment methods during October 2025 to September 2026 will be recruited and they will be followed up for 5 years to generate detailed records for robust evaluation. Key Questions: * To achieve optimal improvement of anatomically based AJCC/UICC TNM Classification for global application * To achieve precise prediction of failure pattern for individual patients by integration of TNM system and non-anatomical prognostic factors/molecular biomarkers Recruited patients with confirmed histological diagnosis of NPC will undergo standard clinical evaluations and receive treatment per institutional guidelines. The anatomical extent of disease at presentation will be evaluated by experienced radiologists and oncologists. The patient will be followed up for 5 years and clinical outcome will be recorded for analyses on correlation with prognostic factors. This study will be another important milestone for NPC staging because firstly, this is the first time that the data are based on prospective data to ensure comprehensive coverage of all essential evidence; and secondly, this is the first time that centers from non-endemic countries/regions will also participate to ensure that the final recommendations are globally applicable. The findings will provide valuable evidence for the development of the AJCC/UICC TNM Version-Ten staging system and prognostic system to improve risk stratification for designing personalized treatment strategy, ultimately leading to improvement of patient outcome and patient selection for future research worldwide.

Becotatug Vedotin for LA-NPC With a Suboptimal Response to Induction Chemotherapy Combined With Immunotherapy

Based on the short-term efficacy and plasma EBV DNA levels following immuno-induction chemotherapy, patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma who derive different benefits from this treatment can be identified. For high-risk patients who do not respond to immuno-induction chemotherapy (defined as EBV DNA \>0 copies/mL or imaging response evaluation showing SD/PD after immuno-induction chemotherapy), the addition of becotatug vedotin, which has a different mechanism of action, during concurrent radiotherapy and the adjuvant phase may improve patient survival. Based on the above research and background, the investigators plan to conduct the first prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study of becotatug vedotin in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma who are suboptimal responsive to immuno-induction chemotherapy, aiming to obtain sufficient evidence-based medical data to provide an additional treatment option for the concurrent and adjuvant phases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Perioperative Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy for Locally Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an endemic malignancy in Southern China and southeast Asia. Despite intensive radical therapy, between 15% and 30% of NPC patients develop relapse. Recent phase III randomized-controlled trials conducted in China demonstrated an improvement of progression-free survival with combinational therapy immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) (camrelizumab, toripalimab, and tislelizumab, respective) and chemotherapy gemcitabine (G) and cisplatin (P) compared with chemotherapy GP alone for recurrent or metastatic NPC. However, none of these studies have described in details the treatment outcomes of those subjects with locally recurrent NPC only, and whether any of these patients would undergo radical surgery to remove the residual locally recurrent NPC after ICI and chemotherapy. Continuation of the same ICI as maintenance therapy may only be the treatment option for these patients who were recruited into these phase III trials, unless if they withdrew from the study and opted for radical resection. While continuing the same ICI may still lead to persistent objective response and disease control, there is a possibility of tumor recurrence leading to unresectable disease and a worse survival outcome, or unexpected, rare but recognized immune-related emergent adverse events with ICI. Radical resection after maximal response to ICI and chemotherapy for patients with locally recurrent NPC only may provide a chance of cure of the disease and these patients may be obviated from continuous exposure to ICI therapy. In view of the above, we are now proposing a phase II single-arm study on perioperative pembrolizumab and chemotherapy followed by radical surgery for locally recurrent NPC. As a collateral study, we will also perform single-cell DNA and RNA sequencing and proteomics study to observe the tumor and immune microenvironment which certainly helps us decipher the mechanisms of tumor response at genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic levels.

EBV Lytic Reactivation Therapy Combined With PD-1 Antibody in Recurrent/Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Nearly all undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are associated with the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), which typically remains in a latent, non-immunogenic state within tumor cells. By combining EBV lytic induction strategy with standard chemo-immunotherapy, this study aims to create a synergistic anti-tumor effect and improve clinical outcomes for patients with recurrent/metastatic NPC (r/m NPC). This is a phase II, single-center, single-arm clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel combination therapy in patients with r/m EBV-positive NPC.
