Conditions

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Brief summary

This is a randomized clinical trial comparing neoadjuvant and adjuvant PD-1 inhibitor Toripalimab plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy alone in high-risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Interventions

DRUGPD-1 antibody

neoadjuvant: PD-1 inhibitor Toripalimab 240mg combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy by cis Platinum and gemcitabine every 3 weeks for 3 cycles ; adjuvant: Toripalimab 240mg every 3 weeks for 9 cycles after concurrent chemoradiotherapy

DRUGGemcitabine

neoadjuvant chemotherapy: 1000mg/m2 in day 1 and day 8 and repeats every 3 weeks for 3 cycles

DRUGCisplatin

neoadjuvant chemotherapy: 80mg/m2 in day 1, and repeats every 3 weeks for 3 cycles. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy: Cisplatin 100mg/m2 in day 1, 22, and 43 during IMRT

RADIATIONIMRT

70Gy to GTV, 60Gy to CTV1 and 54Gy to CTV2 in 32 to 33 fractions
