Purpose/Objective(s):

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) combined with gemcitibine plus cisplatin (GP) chemotherapy and PD-1 inhibitor in patients with oligometastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) (NCT05524168).

Materials/Methods:

Main eligibility criteria included diagnosed as oligometastasis NPC (=5 lesions), and have =1 measurable lesion meeting the RECIST 1.1 criteria. Patients firstly receive SBRT for oligometastatic lesions (6-8Gy/fraction × 3-5 fractions), then receive GP+PD-1 inhibitor for 4-6 cycles followed by PD-1 inhibitor maintenance for 1 year. For patients with primary metastasis, the primary lesion and regional metastatic lymph nodes are given radiotherapy (RT) after completing 4-6 cycles of GP+PD-1 inhibitor. The primary endpoint was the 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate.

Results:

Between Nov 2022 to Jun 2025, 41 oligometastasis patients were recruited (Table 1). 23 patients were primary metastases, and 17 had distant metastasis (DM) after receiving chemo-radiotherapy, and 1 had regional relapse and DM. All patients finished SBRT for metastatic lesions followed by GP+PD-1, and 23 patients with primary metastasis also received RT for primary lesions. Then 17 received =1 year PD-1 maintenance, 3 discontinued for PD, 1 requested to withdraw, and 20 still under PD-1 maintenance. With the median follow-up time of 17.3 months, all these metastatic lesions receiving SBRT controlled well; 7 patients had disease progression, including 1 regional relapse, 4 DM, and 2 loco-regional relapse and DM, and all these lesions were newly developed metastatic lesions except one regional relapse which didn’t receive SBRT. The primary endpoint 1-year PFS rate was 92.2% (95%CI, 77.6-97.4%), and the secondary survival endpoints 1-year OS, DMFS and LRRFS rate were 100.0% (95%CI, 100-100%), 92.2% (95%CI, 77.6-97.4%), and 97.5% (95%CI, 83.5-99.6%), respectively. The best objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) before starting PD-1 maintenance were 92.7% and 100%, with 27 got complete response, 11 got partial response and 3 got stable disease. The most common grade 1-2 adverse events (AEs) relating chemo-immunotherapy were fatigue (100%), nausea (100%), and anorexia (100% ); the most common grade 3-4 AEs were leukopenia (56.1%), neutropenia (51.2%), and thrombocytopenia (46.3%). The AEs relating SBRT were grade 1, including radiation hepatitis (9.8%), pneumonia (4.9%), enteritis (2.4%), and brachial plexus neuropathy (2.4%). No grade 5 AEs was observed in this trial.

Conclusion:

Patients with oligometastatic NPC who receive SBRT for metastatic lesions combined with GP and PD-1 inhibitor could achieve good therapeutic effects with acceptable toxicities.
