GCP ClinPlus Supports New Indication for Nasopharyngeal Cancer Therapy
In the fast-paced field of oncology drug development, the addition of a new indication often presents complex regulatory, operational, and scientific challenges. In late 2024, our sponsor sought to expand the approved use of a monoclonal antibody therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by demonstrating efficacy in combination with standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine + cisplatin) as a first-line treatment.
Coordinating mid-study data review and decision-making across multiple sites and stakeholders
Meeting tight regulatory timelines for submission within one month of last patient visit
Ensuring scientific and statistical rigor in the interim analysis to support final submission
Aligning internal and external teams on safety oversight and risk-based decisions
