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.

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	TPF+CCRT	Patients 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 of induction chemotherapy before radiotherapy.
