Concurrent Nimotuzumab Versus Cisplatin With Radiotherapy for Locoregionally Advanced NPC

April 8, 2019 updated by: Lin Kong, Fudan University

Phase Ⅲ Study of Neoadjuvant TPF Chemotherapy Followed by Radiotherapy With Concurrent Nimotuzumab or Cisplatin for Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC).

The study is to evaluate whether concurrent nimotuzumab could decrease the severe acute treatment-related toxicities compared with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locoregionally advanced NPC. Three hundreds and twenty patients will be recruited into this study.

Detailed Description

Scheme:

Eligible stage III and IVA/B NPC patients will first be stratified by institution, then randomized to 2 arms at 1:1 ratio.

- Arm Cisplatin:

Neoadjuvant TPF chemotherapy (docetaxel 75 mg/m2, cisplatin 75 mg/m2, 5-FU 2500 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 3 cycles), followed by cisplatin 40 mg/m2/week in concurrent with IMRT

- Arm nimotuzumab:

Neoadjuvant TPF chemotherapy (docetaxel 75 mg/m2, cisplatin 75 mg/m2, 5-FU 2500 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 3 cycles), followed by weekly nimotuzumab 200mg in concurrent with IMRT
