Study Arms (1)

OPA regimen

EXPERIMENTAL

All patients were given orally olanzapine 10mg once on d1-5; intravenously palonosetron 0.25mg once on d1; aprepitant 125 mg once on d1, then 80mg once on d2-5.

Drug: Olanzapine

Interventions

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy was given to the patients with regimen of 69.96 Gy-73.92 Gy to the gross target volume of nasopharynx, 69.96 Gy to the gross target volume of positive nodes, 60.06 Gy the high risk clinical target volume, 50.96 Gy to the low risk clinical target volume. Concurrent chemotherapy is administrated with cisplatin 100mg/m2 at d1, d22, d43 during radiotherapy. All patients were given orally olanzapine 10mg once on d1-5; intravenously palonosetron 0.25mg once on d1; aprepitant 125 mg once on d1, then 80mg once on d2-5 at every chemotherapy cycle.
