NCT03503136

Brief Summary

This is a phase 3, multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised factorial trial. The purpose of this study is to study the efficacy and safety of nedaplatin versus cisplatin, and capecitabine versus fluorouracil in induction docetaxel, cisplatin, and fluorouracil (TPF) plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin (P-RT) in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression-free survival

    Progression-free survival is calculated from the date of randomisation to the date of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever is first.

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Overall survival

    3 years

  • Distant failure-free survival

    3 years

  • Locoregional failure-free survival

    3 years

  • Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (acute toxicity) and RTOG/EORTC (late toxicity)

    Up to 3 years

  • Quality of life (QOL) as assessed by EORTC quality of life questionnaire(QLQ)-C30

    Up to 16 weeks

  • Performance status of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) grade 0 or 1
  • Tumor staged as American Joint Committee on Cance (AJCC) III-IVA (except T3-4N0)
  • Adequate marrow: leucocyte count ≥ 4×10\^9/L, hemoglobin ≥ 90g/L and platelet count ≥ 100×10\^9/L.
  • Normal liver and renal function test: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 1.5×upper limit of normal (ULN) concomitant with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 2.5×ULN, and bilirubin ≤ ULN; creatinine clearance ≥ 60 ml/min.
