About this trial
The program aims to enroll patients with stage high risk (AJCC 8th, T3-4N2-3M0) . Patients will receive 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin and concurrent cisplatin-radiation plus Sintilimab, and then receive 11 cycles of Sintilimab after intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). All patients will receive IMRT. Sintilimab will begin on day 1 of induction chemotherapy and continue every 3 weeks for 17 cycles.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progress-free survival (PFS)
Defined from date of recruit to date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause.
Secondary outcomes
Overall Survival (OS)
Defined from date of recruit to date of first documentation of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.
Locoregional Relapse-Free Survival (LRRFS)
Defined from date of recruit to date of first documentation of locoregional relapse or until the date of the last follow-up visit.
Distant Metastasis-Free Survival (DMFS)
Defined from date of recruit to date of first documentation of distant metastases or until the date of the last followup visit.
