GEP Combined With Radiotherapy in Non-locally Treatable Recurrent NPC

This research aims to assess both effectiveness and safety of combining R-GEP regimen comprising gemcitabine, recombinant human endostatin, and cerexinib with low- and high-dose radiotherapy in managing unresectable recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Eligible patients will undergo screening before enrolling in this trial 。 The participants will receive R-GEP therapy according to specified dosing schedules over six cycles. Additionally administered low-dose radiotherapy during specific cycles serves to modulate immune microenvironment while high-dose fractionated radiotherapy follows completion of GEP therapy courses. Maintenance immunotherapy continues up until one year post-treatment conclusion or disease progression.Finally, the participants were evaluated accordingly。

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients aged ≥18 years;

7. The patient has signed an informed consent form and is willing and able to comply with the visit schedule, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other research procedures.
8. Voluntarily enroll in this study, sign an informed consent form, have good compliance and willingness to cooperate with follow-up.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who cannot accept or tolerate chemotherapy or radiotherapy for various reasons;
2. Subjects who can be cured by definitive radiotherapy or surgery;
3. Subjects who have undergone major surgical procedures within the past 4 weeks or have not fully recovered from such procedures;
4. Subjects who are currently participating in other drug clinical trials;
5. Serious cardiac disease or discomfort, including but not limited to the following conditions:

   * History of congestive heart failure or impaired systolic function (LVEF \<50%);
   * Uncontrolled high-risk arrhythmias, such as atrial tachycardia, resting heart rate \>100bpm, significant ventricular arrhythmias (such as ventricular tachycardia) or higher-level atrioventricular conduction block (i.e., Mobitz Ⅱ second-degree atrioventricular conduction block or third-degree atrioventricular conduction block);
   * Angina requiring anti-angina drug therapy;
   * Clinically significant valvular heart disease;
   * ECG showing a penetrating myocardial infarction;
   * Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \>180mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>100mmHg);
6. Subjects who have a history of hypersensitivity to any component of the study drug;
7. Any other situation in which the investigator deems the subject unsuitable to participate in the study.
