Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
This trial is a multi-center phase III clinical trial. The purpose of this trial is to explore whether 2 cycles induction chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy is not inferior to 3 cycles induction chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Interventions
Drug: 2 cycles Induction Chemotherapy Induction regimens: TP (docetaxel 75 mg/m²; cisplatin 75 mg/m²) Q3w, TPF (docetaxel 60 mg/m²; cisplatin 60 mg/m²; 5-fluorouracil 600-750 mg/m² per day, continuous intravenous infusion d1-5) Q3w, or GP (gemcitabine: 1000 mg/m2 d1, d8; cisplatin 80 mg/m2) Q3w. Drug: Concurrent Chemotherapy Cisplatin 100 mg/m², Q3w. Radiation: Definitive Radiotherapy For all patients, the prescribed dose is 66-70 Gy (once a day, 5 times a week).
Drug: 3 cycles Induction Chemotherapy Induction regimens: TP (docetaxel 75 mg/m²; cisplatin 75 mg/m²) Q3w, TPF (docetaxel 60 mg/m²; cisplatin 60 mg/m²; 5-fluorouracil 600-750 mg/m² per day, continuous intravenous infusion d1-5) Q3w, or GP (gemcitabine: 1000 mg/m2 d1, d8; cisplatin 80 mg/m2) Q3w.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| FFS, Failure Free Survival | 3 years | Defined as the time from randomization to tumor recurrence, distant metastasis, or death due to any reason, whichever occurs first.
