Official title
A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Phase III Trial of Induction Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy Plus Camrelizumab or Nimotuzumab Versus Induction Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma With Detectable EBV DNA After One Cycle GP Regime Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy
Overview
The goal of this multicenter randomized non-inferior study is to compare the additon of camrelizumab or nimotuzumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients whose EBV DNA remained detectable after one cycle neoadjuvant chemotherapy using GP regimen. The main question it aims to answer is: whether the addition of carrilizumab or nituzumab improve the treatment outcomes in the relatively poor prognostic patients identified by the response of EBV DNA. Participants will be randomized to the combination of carrilizumab and standard treatment , the combination of nituzumab and standard treatment or the standard treatment alone if their EBV DNA didn't decrease to undetectable level post first cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Interventions
- Drug Camrelizumab
camrelizumab 200mg q3w - Drug Nimotuzumab
nimotuzumab 200mg qw - Drug neoadjuvant chemotherapy and CCRT
the second and third neoajuvant chemotherapy with GP regimen (gemcitabine 1g/m2 d1，8 plus cisplatin 75mg/m2 ) concurrent chemotherapy: single cisplatin (80mg/m2) for two cycle definitive radiotherapy for primay lesion and lymph node region.
Primary outcome measures
- Progression-free survival [Time frame: 3 years]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Overall survival [Time frame: 3 years]
- Toxicities [Time frame: 3 years]
