Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Toripalimab+CCRT

Arm Description

Cisplatin 100mg/m2(every three weeks),D1,D22,D43 of intensity modulated radiotherapy. Toripalimab 240mg every 3 weeks with a total of 3 cycles as concurrent anti-PD-1 immunotherapy; Toripalimab240mg every 3 weeks with a total of 9 cycles as adjuvant anti-PD-1 immunotherapy 3 weeks after CCRT

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall survival
Defined from date of randomization to date of first documentation of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Progress-free survival (PFS)
Defined from date of randomization to date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
An objective response is defined as either a confirmed CR or a PR, as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Incidence rate of adverse events (AEs)
Analysis of adverse events (AEs) are based on treatment-related AEs (trAEs) and immune-related AEs (irAEs), and all-grade AEs and grade 3-4 AEs. AEs are evaluated by investigators according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0
Change of QoL (quality of life)
QoL scores were assessed by using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTCQLQ-C30) before radiotherapy, at the end of radiotherapy, at 12 months after radiotherapy.
