Concurrent and Adjuvant PD1 Treatment Combined With Chemo-radiotherapy for High-risk Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Phase 3 Trial of Induction Chemotherapy Plus Concurrent Chemo-radiotherapy With or Without Camrelizumab for High Risk Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

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.
