Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for TPF+CCRT vs.CCRT+PF in High Risk Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Study Description

Brief Summary: To see the effect of induction chemotherapy（TPF） followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (PF) in treating patients with high risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Detailed Description: Patients presented with non-keratinizing NPC and stage AnyTN2-3M0 and plasma EBV DNA≥1500copies/ml are randomly assigned to receive TPF(paclitaxel liposome+cisplatin+5-fluorouracil) induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (investigational arm) or concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus PF (cisplatin+5-fluorouracil) adjuvant chemotherapy (control arm). Patients in both arms receive intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT), and cisplatin (100mg/m2) every three weeks for three cycles during radiotherapy. Patients in the investigational arm receive paclitaxel liposome (135mg/m2 on day 1), cisplatin (25mg/m2 on day 1-3) and 5-fluorouracil (750mg/m2 civ 120h) every three weeks for three cycles before the radiotherapy. Patients in the control arm receive adjuvant cisplatin (80mg/m2 on day 1) and 5-fluorouracil (1000mg/m2 civ 96h) every four weeks for three cycles after the radiotherapy. The primary end point is progress-free survival (PFS). Secondary end points include overall survival(OS),locoregional failure-free survival(LRRFS), distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS), overall response rates after treatments and toxic effects(short-term and long-term). All efficacy analyses are conducted in the intention-to-treat population.
