Etiological driver

Etiological driver · etiologically_driven archetype
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
  • EBV (Epstein-Barr virus) — IARC Group 1 carcinogen; obligate etiology in non-keratinizing NPC of endemic regions
  • Endemic geography — Southern China (Guangdong), Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, North Africa (Maghreb), Greenland Inuit
  • Salted fish / preserved-food consumption (childhood exposure)
  • Tobacco smoking (keratinizing-variant NPC)
  • Familial clustering (HLA-A2 / HLA-B46 alleles in Chinese cohorts)

Primary current-line option

Standard plan
★ DEFAULT
Indication
IND-NPC-1L-METASTATIC-GC-PD1
Regimen
Toripalimab + gemcitabine + cisplatin (JUPITER-02) — 1L recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Drugs + NSZU
  • Toripalimab (DRUG-TORIPALIMAB) 240 mg IV · Day 1 of every 21-day cycle, concurrent with GP cycles 1-6, then continued as monotherapy maintenance q3w until progression/unacceptable toxicity or up to 2 years total · IV ✗ Not registered in UA
  • Gemcitabine (DRUG-GEMCITABINE) 1000 mg/m² IV · Days 1 and 8 of every 21-day cycle, cycles 1-6 only · IV ⚠ NSZU — not for this indication
  • Cisplatin (DRUG-CISPLATIN) 80 mg/m² IV · Day 1 of every 21-day cycle, cycles 1-6 only · IV ⚠ NSZU — not for this indication
Reason
Primary current-line option selected by ALGO-NPC-1L at step 1.

Other current-line alternatives (1 tracks)

Same treatment line; review when biomarker, access, contraindication, or patient-context assumptions change.
Standard plan
Indication
IND-NPC-1L-LOCALLY-ADVANCED-CCRT
Regimen
Induction gemcitabine-cisplatin (GC) + concurrent cisplatin chemoradiation (IMRT) — locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Drugs + NSZU

Induction — Induction gemcitabine+cisplatin (GC) chemotherapy before CCRT — cytoreduction and micrometastasis control; benefit demonstrated for locoregionally advanced (Stage III-IVA) NPC

  • Gemcitabine (DRUG-GEMCITABINE) 1000 mg/m² IV · Days 1 and 8 of every 21-day cycle x 3 cycles · IV ⚠ NSZU — not for this indication
  • Cisplatin (DRUG-CISPLATIN) 80 mg/m² IV · Day 1 of every 21-day cycle x 3 cycles · IV ⚠ NSZU — not for this indication
  • Cisplatin (DRUG-CISPLATIN) 100 mg/m² IV · Day 1 and 22 (± day 43 depending on RT course length) every 3 weeks, concurrent with IMRT. Weekly cisplatin 40 mg/m² IV is an accepted lower-toxicity alternative schedule. · IV ⚠ NSZU — not for this indication
Reason

What NOT to do

Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-NPC-1L-METASTATIC-GC-PD1)
  • Do NOT use toripalimab/camrelizumab monotherapy as 1L without a chemotherapy backbone outside of the platinum-ineligible palliative setting — both JUPITER-02 and CAPTAIN-1st studied PD-1 + GP combination, not monotherapy, in 1L.
  • Do NOT exceed the cisplatin/gemcitabine cycle cap (6 cycles) — the GP chemo backbone stops at cycle 6 per trial protocol; the PD-1 agent continues as maintenance monotherapy.
  • Do NOT omit baseline audiometry and renal function before the cisplatin-containing GP backbone.
  • Do NOT continue anti-PD-1 therapy through grade 3-4 immune-related adverse events without corticosteroid management and specialist input.
Standard plan (IND-NPC-1L-LOCALLY-ADVANCED-CCRT)
  • Do NOT use systemic PD-1 immunotherapy instead of definitive CCRT in non-metastatic (M0) disease — that is the metastatic-1L indication (IND-NPC-1L-METASTATIC-GC-PD1), not locally advanced disease.
  • Do NOT omit baseline audiometry and renal function before cisplatin — cumulative oto-/nephrotoxicity risk increases when induction + concurrent phases are combined.
  • Do NOT ignore post-treatment EBV-DNA surveillance — a rising level can precede radiographic relapse.
  • Do NOT extend radiation beyond the standard definitive course without a documented clinical rationale.

Timeline

Treatment timeline — derived from regimen + monitoring schedule

Standard plan

Induction · Toripalimab + gemcitabine + cisplatin (JUPITER-02) — 1L recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma
21-day cycles × GP chemo backbone capped at 6 cycles per JUPITER-02 protocol; toripalimab continues as monotherapy maintenance until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or ~2 years total

Standard plan

Induction · Induction gemcitabine-cisplatin (GC) + concurrent cisplatin chemoradiation (IMRT) — locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma
21-day cycles × Induction (optional, Stage III-IVA): 3 cycles. Concurrent: 2-3 cisplatin doses q3w (or weekly x6-7) paired with the definitive IMRT course.

MDT brief
