Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall survival
Defined as the time from date of recruitment to death from any cause.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Failure-free survival
Defined as the time from date of recruitment to documented relapse or death from any cause.
Objective response rate through study completion, an average of nine months
The rate of patients get CR or PR after treatment
Disease control rate through study completion, an average of nine months
The rate of patients get CR or PR or SD after treatment
Incidence of nasopharyngeal necrosis and hemorrhage up to 3 years
Incidence of nasopharyngeal necrosis and hemorrhage after receiving treatment
Acute toxicities were graded using the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0)
Acute toxicities were graded using the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0) for chemotherapy and immunotherapy-specific toxicities, and the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) radiation morbidity scoring criteria for radiotherapy-specific toxicities.
Late toxicity
Late toxicities were assessed annually using the RTOG radiation morbidity scoring criteria.
Quality of life through study completion, up to 3 years
Evaluated with questionnaire of EuroQoL 5 dimension, 5 level health state utility index (EQ-5D-5L).
