Reducing High Risk Primary Tumor Clinical Target Volumes (CTVp1) in Non-metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Reducing High Risk Primary Tumor Clinical Target Volumes (CTVp1) in Non-metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Treated With Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy(IMRT): A Phase 3, Multicentre, Randomised Controlled Trial(CTVp1-NPC)

About This Trial

To evaluate the long-term local control, survival rate, acute and late radiation related toxicities, quality of life after reducing high risk primary tumor clinical target volumes (CTVp1) in non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with IMRT.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. histologic confirmation of nonkeratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma(WHO II-III); 2. newly diagnosed stage I to IVa according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer-Union for International Cancer Control 8th edition stage-classification system 3. nasopharyngeal mass confined to one side of nasopharynx and did not exceed the midline(the line between the nasal septum and the midpoint of spinal cord/medulla) detected by electronic nasopharyngoscope (ENS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Pathological biopsy was recommended if it was unclear whether tumor invaded the contralateral side radiographically. 4. planned to receive curative IMRT, Chemotherapy drugs should be administered according to Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines depending on the TNM stage;(T1N0: No chemotherapy required;T2N0:No chemotherapy or concurrent cisplatin chemoradiotherapy if there are adverse prognostic indicators such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA\>4000 copies,node \>3cm or with extranodal extension;T1-2N1: concurrent cisplatin chemoradiotherapy;T3N0: concurrent cisplatin chemoradiotherapy; stage III-Iva: platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy+ concurrent cisplatin chemoradiotherapy+/-metronomic capecitabine therapy ) 5. no previous treatment for cancer; 6. a Karnofsky performance-status score of at least 70 (on a scale from 0 to 100, with lower scores indicating greater disability); 7. between 18 and 70 years old; 8. adequate hematologic, renal, and hepatic function: Adequate marrow function: WBC count ≥ 3×10E9/L, NE count ≥ 1.5×10E9/L, HGB ≥ 90g/L, PLT count ≥ 100×10E9/L;Adequate liver function: ALT and AST ≤ 2.5×ULN, TBIL ≤ 2.0×ULN;Adequate renal function: BUN and CRE ≤ 1.5×ULN , endogenous kidney function (creatinine clearance) at least 60ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula); 9. Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and give written willing to sign a consent form.
