Brief summary

This is a randomized,controlled,prospective phase III clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate acute toxicity and efficacy of concurrent cisplatin chemoradiation with or without capecitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy in Local Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma at High Risk of Distant Metastasis.Exploring an Individualized comprehensive treatment plan which is reasonable,effective,low toxicity and fitting with Modern radiotherapy techniques for Local Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma at High Risk of Distant Metastasis.

Interventions

Patients in the control arm received radical radiotherapy with IMRT, and cisplatin (100mg/m2 on day 1 and day 22) during RT.

Patients in the experimental arm received radical radiotherapy with IMRT, and cisplatin (100mg/m2 on day 1 and day 22) during RT,followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with oral capecitabine(1000mg/m2/ twice a day for 14 days)every three weeks for eight cycles at 4 weeks later after RT.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Distant metastasis-free survivalFive yearDefined as the time from date of recruitment to documented distant metastasis or death from any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Failure-free survivalFive yearDefined as the time from date of recruitment to documented relapse or death from any cause.
Locoregional relapse-free survivalFive yearDefined as the time from date of recruitment to documented locoregional relapse or death from any cause.
Overall survivalFive yearDefined as the time from date of recruitment to death from any cause.
Acute toxicitythree months after corresponding treatmentAcute toxicities were graded using the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0) for chemotherapy-specific toxicities, and the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) radiation morbidity scoring criteria for radiotherapy-specific toxicities.
Late toxicityFive yearLate toxicities were assessed annually using the RTOG radiation morbidity scoring criteria.
