IC Plus Low-dose Radiation Plus Cadonilimab in LANPC
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled phase III clinical trial in primary diagnosed loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of induction chemotherapy (IC) combined with low-dose radiation and immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) versus IC+CCRT, and compare the treatment-related adverse events and quality of life in two groups.

Experimental: Low-dose RT plus ICI Patients will receive induction chemotherapy plus low-dose radiotherapy and immuce checkpoint inhibitor then followed by concurrent chemoradiotehrapy. |
Radiation: Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
All target volumes will be outlined slice by slice on the axial contrast-enhanced CT with MR fusion images in the treatment planning system. The target volumes are defined in accordance with the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements Reports 83. The prescribed dose is 70-72 Gy to PTVp (Planning target volume of the primary tumor), 64-70 Gy to PTVn (Planning target volume of the lymph node), 60- 64Gy to PTV1 (High-risk planning target volume), and 54-58 Gy to PTV2 (Low-risk planning target volume) in 30-32 fractions.
Other Names:
Drug: Chemotherapy
Induction chemotherapy: gemcitabine and cisplatin, Q3W, 3 cycles Concurrent chemotherapy: cisplatin, Q3W, 2-3 cycles
Other Names:
Biological: Immune checkpoint inhibitor
Cadonilimab: 10mg/kg, Q3W, 3 cycles
Other Names:
Radiation: Low-dose radiotherapy
Low-dose radiotherapy will be performed to study group, with the use of IMRT.
