Brief Summary

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

This is a Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of nimotuzumab versus cisplatin combined with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in treating patients with stage II-III nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Detailed Description

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

Scheme:

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

\- Arm Cisplatin: cisplatin 40mg/m2/week in concurrent with IMRT

\- Arm nimotuzumab: nimotuzumab 200mg/week in concurrent with IMRT
