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 volunteersQualifiers
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
Drug1. 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

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progress-free survival (PFS)
Defined as time from randomization to locoregional or distant metastasis relapse or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
Secondary outcomes
Overall Survival (OS)
Defined as the time interval from randomization to death due to any cause.
Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS)
Defined as the time interval from randomisation to the date of first distant metastases.
Locoregional Relapse-Free Survival (LRRFS)
Defined as the time from randomisation to the date of first locoregional relapse.
Incidence of treatment related acute complications
The proportion of patients with treatment related acute complications according to NCI-CTC5.0 criteria and RTOG criteria.
