Brief Summary

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

This is a multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled phase III clinical trial in primary diagnosed loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of induction chemotherapy (IC) combined with low-dose radiation and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) versus IC+CCRT, and compare the treatment-related adverse events and quality of life in two groups.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Low-dose RT plus ICI

Patients will receive induction chemotherapy plus low-dose radiotherapy and immuce checkpoint inhibitor then followed by concurrent chemoradiotehrapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

All target volumes will be outlined slice by slice on the axial contrast-enhanced CT with MR fusion images in the treatment planning system. The target volumes are defined in accordance with the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements Reports 83. The prescribed dose is 70-72 Gy to PTVp (Planning target volume of the primary tumor), 64-70 Gy to PTVn (Planning target volume of the lymph node), 60- 64Gy to PTV1 (High-risk planning target volume), and 54-58 Gy to PTV2 (Low-risk planning target volume) in 30-32 fractions.

Chemotherapy

Intervention Type DRUG

Induction chemotherapy: gemcitabine and cisplatin, Q3W, 3 cycles Concurrent chemotherapy: cisplatin, Q3W, 2-3 cycles

Immune checkpoint inhibitor

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Cadonilimab: 10mg/kg, Q3W, 3 cycles

Low-dose radiotherapy

Intervention Type RADIATION

Low-dose radiotherapy will be performed to study group, with the use of IMRT.

IC+CCRT

Patients will receive induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotehrapy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy

Intervention Type RADIATION
