Brief summary

This trial plans to enroll patients with stage III-IVA (AJCC 8th, included T1-2N2-3 and/or T3-4N0-3 M0) locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin and concurrent cisplatin-radiation or 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin and radiation plus Camrelizumab. All patients will receive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Camrelizumab will begin on day 1 of induction chemotherapy every 3 weeks for 3 cycles and continue every 2 weeks for 9 cycles.

Detailed description

Objectives:To investigate the clinical efficacy of camrelizumab in the treatment of locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Outline:Patients with stage III-IVA (AJCC 8th, included T1-2N2-3 and/or T3-4N0-3 M0) locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to experimental arm and active comparator arm. Patients in experimental arm will receive induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine (1g/m2, d1 & 8 of every cycle) and cisplatin (80mg/m2, d1 of every cycle), every 3 weeks for 3 cycles before radiation. Definitive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of 6996cGy in 33 fractions will be given. Camrelizumab 200mg will be given every 3 weeks for 3 cycles started on day 1 of induction chemotherapy and every 2 weeks for 9 cycles thereafter. Patients in active comparator arm will receive induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine (1g/m2, d1 & 8 of every cycle) and cisplatin (80mg/m2, d1 of every cycle), every 3 weeks for 3 cycles before radiation. Definitive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of 6996cGy in 33 fractions will be given. Concurrent cisplatin of 100mg/m2 will be administered every 3 weeks for 2 cycles during IMRT.

Adequate renal function: creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula). 7. Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and give written informed consent. 8. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who are sexually active must be willing to adhere to effective contraception during treatment and for 1 year after the last dose of study drug.
