Brief Summary: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) has been recommended in the treatment of locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), with docetaxel, cisplatin (DDP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) shown to be an effective regimen. Capecitabine is the precursor drug of 5-fluorouracil, and has been used in replace of 5-fluorouracil in NPC patients. Nab-paclitaxel (Nab-PTX) is a novel albumin-bound paclitaxel with a superior therapeutic index to docetaxel. We sought to find out the efficacy of Nab-PTX in three-drug triplet (Nab-PTX, DDP and capecitabine) and decide the best administration dose of Nab-PTX.
Detailed Description: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) has been recommended in the treatment of locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), with docetaxel, cisplatin (DDP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) shown to be an effective regimen. Capecitabine is the precursor drug of 5-fluorouracil, and has been used in replace of 5-fluorouracil in NPC patients. Nab-paclitaxel (Nab-PTX) is a novel albumin-bound paclitaxel with a superior therapeutic index to docetaxel. It was developed to reduce toxicities associated with paclitaxel whilst maintaining or improving its chemotherapeutic effect. In vivo preclinical experiments have shown greater volume of distribution of nab-paclitaxel than paclitaxel, with similar half-life and clearance. The efficacy and optimal dose of Nab-PTX combined with DDP as doublet has been explored in metastatic NPC patients and locoregionally advanced patients, and it showed encouraging anti-tumor effects and manageable toxicities. However, what is the optimal dose of Nab-PTX and the efficacy of it in three-drug triplet (Nab-PTX, DDP and capecitabine) needs to be discovered. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Nab-PTX plus cisplatin and capecitabine neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, to provide new evidence for the use of Nab-PTX in NPC.
