About this trial
This trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of anlotinib hydrochloride combined with benmelstobart, induction chemotherapy, and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (IC+CCRT), versus a regimen of benmelstobart plus IC+CCRT, in patients with high-risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC).

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Failure-free survival (FFS)
From date of randomization until the date of first documented locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first
Secondary outcomes
Tumor response
Evaluation of tumor response as CR, PR, SD, PD, NA by clinicians
Overall survival (OS)
From date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, whichever came first
Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS)
From date of randomization until the date of first documented distant metastasis, whichever occurred first.
Locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS)
From date of randomization until the date of first documented locoregional recurrence, whichever occurred first.
Other outcomes
Correlation between pre-treatment PD-L1 expression level and FFS
Pre-treatment PD-L1 expression level of tumor cell is evaluated centrally by means of immunohistochemical testing.
Evaluate failure-free survival in the subgroup of plasma Epstein-Barr virus DNA level
Subgroup analysis
Evaluate failure-free survival in the subgroup of clinical stage
