We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab (anti-PD-1 and CTLA-4 bispecific antibody) plus TPC chemotherapy (NAB-paclitaxel, cisplatin or lobaplatin, and capecitabine) in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (RM-NPC) who failed to PD-1 inhibitor-containing regimens.
In this single-arm, open-label, phase 2 study, RM-NPC patients who failed to at least one line of systemic chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 immunotherapy were enrolled and received cadonilimab plus TPC chemotherapy every 3 weeks for up to 6 cycles, followed by cadonilimab plus capecitabine every 3 weeks for a maximum of 2 years. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR). The secondary endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), duration of response (DoR), and safety.
Twenty-five patients were enrolled (84% male; median age 44 years (range, 24-60)), with a median follow-up of 10.2 months. The ORR was 68%, with 3 complete responses, 14 partial responses, and 6 stable diseases. The median DoR was 9.1 months (95% CI, 3.8-14.5 months). The median PFS was 10.6 months (95% CI, 5.2-16.0 months). The 12-month OS was 75.6%. Treatment was well tolerated. Grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 12 (48%) patients. Fourteen patients (56%) experienced potentially immune-related adverse events (irAEs). One patient experienced a grade 3 immune-related rash and another patient had grade 3 immune-related lipase increased. No treatment-related death occurred.
Cadonilimab in combination with TPC chemotherapy demonstrated promising antitumoral efficacy and manageable toxicities in patients with RM-NPC who failed frontline immunotherapy. Further trials are warranted to confirm and expand these findings.

我们旨在评估卡度尼利单抗(抗程序性死亡蛋白1和细胞毒性T淋巴细胞相关蛋白4双特异性抗体)联合含紫杉烷类的铂类化疗方案(白蛋白结合型紫杉醇、顺铂或洛铂以及卡培他滨)用于对含程序性死亡蛋白1抑制剂方案治疗失败的复发或转移性鼻咽癌(RM-NPC)患者的疗效和安全性。
在这项单臂、开放标签的2期研究中,纳入了对至少一线全身化疗和抗程序性死亡蛋白1免疫治疗失败的RM-NPC患者,每3周接受卡度尼利单抗联合含紫杉烷类的铂类化疗,最多6个周期,随后每3周接受卡度尼利单抗联合卡培他滨治疗,最长2年。主要终点为客观缓解率(ORR)。次要终点包括无进展生存期(PFS)、总生存期(OS)、缓解持续时间(DoR)和安全性。
共纳入25例患者(84%为男性;中位年龄44岁(范围24 - 60岁)),中位随访时间为10.2个月。ORR为68%,其中3例完全缓解,14例部分缓解,6例病情稳定。中位DoR为9.1个月(95%CI,3.8 - 14.5个月)。中位PFS为10.6个月(95%CI,5.2 - 16.0个月)。12个月时的OS为75.6%。治疗耐受性良好。12例(48%)患者发生3级或4级治疗相关不良事件。14例(56%)患者发生潜在的免疫相关不良事件(irAEs)。1例患者发生3级免疫相关皮疹,另1例患者出现3级免疫相关脂肪酶升高。未发生治疗相关死亡。
卡度尼利单抗联合含紫杉烷类的铂类化疗在一线免疫治疗失败的RM-NPC患者中显示出有前景的抗肿瘤疗效和可控的毒性。需要进一步试验来证实和扩展这些发现。
