About this trial
The trial aimed to compare QL1706 combined with induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (IC+CCRT) versus IC+CCRT alone in High-risk Locoregionally-Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (LANPC).

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Failure-free survival (FFS) in intention-to-treat population
Multiple endpoint 1: calculated from randomization to the date of locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
Overall survival (OS) in intention-to-treat population
Multiple endpoint 2: calculated from randomization to the date of death from any cause.
Secondary outcomes
Failure-free survival (FFS) in per-protocol population
calculated from randomization to the date of locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first.
Overall survival (OS) in per-protocol population
calculated from randomization to the date of death from any cause.
Locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS)
calculated from randomization to the date of locoregional persistence or 1st locoregional recurrence.
Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS)
calculated from randomization to the date of first distant metastasis.
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
