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).
