Brief summary

Incidences of de novo metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma range from 6% to 8% at the time of presentation. For the initial diagnosis of metastatic NPC, PD-1 plus chemotherapy yields a satisfactory outcome with1year PFS of 40%. Previous study demonstrated the benefit of adding radiotherapy to chemotherapy in metastatic NPC, however there is no evidence whether radiotherapy can further improve PFS based on chemotherapy plus PD-1 . The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of first-line immunochemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for initial diagnosed metastatic NPC.

Interventions

RADIATIONRadiotherapy

Patients who had complete response or partial response after at least 3 cycles (no more than 6 cycles) of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy receive local radiotherapy 21 days. For those non-CR oligo-metastatic disease or symptomatic lesion, SBRT or conventional RT delivered. Maintenance therapy of immunotherapy for 2 years.
