About this trial

Through multicenter, open-label, randomised clinical trials, we intend to demonstrate that concurrent and adjuvant PD-1 treatment added to chemo-radiotherapy could further decrease the rate of disease progression and improve the survival outcome of high risk patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared with those treated with chemo-radiotherapy alone.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically confirmed non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma (differentiated or undifferentiated type, i.e., WHO type II or type III).

Staged as T1-3N1-2M0, T2-3N0M0 (stage II-III) with SD/PD according to RECIST criteria or EBV DNA of >0 copies/mL after 3 cycles of GP induction chemotherapy.

Aged between 18-70 years.

Disqualifiers

Histologically confirmed keratinized squamous cell carcinoma (WHO type I) or basal squamous cell carcinoma.

Recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Staged as II-III which is evaluated as PR or CR and EBV DNA of 0 copies/mL after 3 cycles of GP induction chemotherapy.

Has known allergy to large molecule protein products or any compound of study therapy.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Camrelizumab plus chemo-radiotherapy

    Drug

    1. Camrelizumab: 200 mg, intravenous injection over 60 minutes (Q3W); 2 cycles of camrelizumab are concurrently used during radiotherapy and camrelizumab are maintained for 1 year after the end of radiotherapy. 2. Gemcitabine plus cisplatin induction chemotherapy: gemcitabine is injected intravenously at the dose of 1000 mg/m2 on the 1st and 8th day (within 30 minutes) for 3 cycles; cisplatin is injected intravenously at the dose of 80 mg/m2 on the 1st day, for 3 cycles. 1 cycles per 3 weeks. 3. Concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy: cisplatin is given at a dose of 100 mg/m2 via a continuous intravenous infusion during radiotherapy and starts on the 1st day of radiotherapy for 2 cycles. 1 cycles per 3 weeks. 4. IMRT: PTVnx#69.96Gy/33Fr/2.12Gy; PTVnd#69.96Gy/33Fr/2.12Gy; PTV1#59.4Gy/33Fr/1.8Gy; PTV2#54Gy/33Fr/1.64Gy
