gemcitabine and cisplatin (Induction chemotherapy)

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) alone with induction chemotherapy (gemcitabine+cisplatin) plus CCRT in patients with low-risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).

Detailed Description: Patients with low risk NPC( Stage III-IVa, except T4N2/AnyTN3, AJCC 8th and EBV DNA \<4000 copies/ml) are randomly assigned to receive CCRT alone or induction chemotherapy plus CCRT. Patients in both groups receive cisplatin 100 mg/m² every 3 weeks for 3 cycles, concurrently with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). IMRT is given as 2.12 Gy per fraction with five daily fractions per week to a total dose of 70 Gy. The induction chemotherapy plus CCRT group receive gemcitabine (1000 mg/m² d1,8) and cisplatin (80mg/m² d1) every 3 weeks for three cycles before CCRT. Our primary endpoint is progress-free survival. Secondary end points include overall survival (OS), Locoregional progression, Distant progression and toxic effects. All efficacy analyses are conducted in the intention-to-treat population, and the safety population include only patients who receive their randomly assigned treatment.
