Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is to evaluate whether concurrent nimotuzumab could decrease the severe acute treatment-related toxicities compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locoregionally advanced NPC. Three hundreds and twenty patients will be recruited into this study.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Scheme:

Eligible stage III and IVA/B NPC patients will first be stratified by institution, then randomized to 2 arms at 1:1 ratio.

\- Arm Cisplatin:

Neoadjuvant TPF chemotherapy (docetaxel 75 mg/m2, cisplatin 75 mg/m2, 5-FU 2500 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 3 cycles), followed by cisplatin 40 mg/m2/week in concurrent with IMRT

\- Arm nimotuzumab:

Neoadjuvant TPF chemotherapy (docetaxel 75 mg/m2, cisplatin 75 mg/m2, 5-FU 2500 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 3 cycles), followed by weekly nimotuzumab 200mg in concurrent with IMRT
