Brief Summary

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

This prospective trial aims to enroll patients with high-risk stage III-IVA (AJCC 8th, except T3N0) locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Under the condition of full course of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades, patients who achieved both radiological and biological complete response after 3 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 blockades will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive reduced-dose radiotherapy (60Gy/30F) alone or reduced-dose radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy or standard dose radiotherapy (70Gy/33F) with concurrent chemotherapy. To solve the urgent problem of whether patients with high-risk advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma are suitable for downgrade treatment.
