Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma focused on measuring Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy, Camrelizumab
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with histologically confirmed nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
- Tumor staged as III-IVA (AJCC 8th, included T1-2N2-3 and/or T3-4N0-3 M0).
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤1.
- Adequate marrow function: neutrocyte count≥1.5×10e9/L, hemoglobin ≥80g/L and platelet count ≥80×10e9/L.
- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)/Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5×upper limit of normal (ULN), and bilirubin ≤ 1.5×ULN.
- Adequate renal function: creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula).
- Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and give written informed consent.
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who are sexually active must be willing to adhere to effective contraception during treatment and for 1 year after the last dose of study drug. Men who are sexually active with WOCBP must be willing to adhere to effective contraception during treatment and for 1 year after the last dose of the study drug.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Age > 70 or < 18.
- Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive and hepatitis B virus DNA >1×10e3 copies/ml or 200IU/ml
- Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody positive
- Has active autoimmune disease, except type I diabetes, hypothyroidism treated with replacement therapy, and skin disease that doesn't require systemic treatment (e.g., vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia).
- Has any condition that required systemic corticosteroid (equivalent to prednisone >10mg/d) or other immunosuppressive therapy within 28 days before informed consent. Patients received systemic corticosteroid equivalent to prednisone ≤10mg/d, inhale or topical corticosteroid will be allowed.
- Has a known history of active TB (bacillus tuberculosis) within 1 year; patients with adequately treated active TB over 1 year ago will be allowed.
- Has a known history of interstitial lung disease.
- Has received a live vaccine within 30 days before informed consent or will receive a live vaccine in the near future.
- Is pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Prior malignancy within 5 years, except in situ cancer, adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
- Has known allergy to large molecule protein products or any compound of camrelizumab.
- Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
- Any other condition, including symptomatic heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, active infection requiring systemic therapy, mental illness or domestic/social factors, deemed by the investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate and participate in the study, or interferes with the interpretation of the results.

Chemoradiation arm
Patients will receive induction chemotherapy with gemcitabine (1g/m2, d1 & 8 of every cycle) and cisplatin (80mg/m2, d1 of every cycle), every 3 weeks for 3 cycles before radiation. Definitive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of 6996cGy in 33 fractions will be given. Camrelizumab 200mg will be given every 3 weeks for 3 cycles started on day 1 of induction chemotherapy and every 2 weeks for 9 cycles thereafter.
