NCT01854203

Brief Summary

Concurrent cisplatin-based chemotherapy plus radiotherapy increased the risk of treatment-related death and severe acute toxicity. The survival benefit of adding concurrent chemotherapy to intensity modulated radiation in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma is unclear. Gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy combine with radiotherapy was effective and well tolerated by patients with locoregionally advanced NPC.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Overall survival

    Overall survival is calculated from randomization to death from any cause.

    3-year

  • Failure-free survival

    Failure-free survival is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of the first failure at any site.

    3-year

  • Locoregional failure-free survival

    the latency to the first local failure

    3-year

  • Distant failure-free survival

    The latency to the first remote failure

    3-year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Difference in the complete response rates between the two treatment arms

    12 weeks after the completion of therapy

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Rates of toxicity

    3-years

Study Arms (2)

IInductive chemotherapy + concurrent cisplatin and IMRT

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive Gemcitabine (800mg/m2 on day 1,8) and cisplatin (80mg/m2 on day 1)of a 21 day cycle, patients received four cycles chemotherapy before the radiotherapy, then receive radical radiotherapy with IMRT and cisplatin (30 mg/m2,on day 1) repeated every weeks for 6 cycles during radiotherapy.

Drug: Inductive chemotherapy + concurrent cisplatin and IMRT
