NCT05717790

Brief Summary

Nimotuzumab is an IgG1 humanized monoclonal antibody that recognized an epitope located in the extra cellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Nimotuzumab has been granted approval for use in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN), glioma and nasopharyngeal cancer in different countries. This is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial, with the purpose to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab combined with induction chemotherapy plus chemoradiation and adjuvant therapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental: Nimotuzumab arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will receive induction chemotherapy with nimotuzumab (200mg/w,weekly plus gemcitabine (1g/m2, d1 \& 8 of every cycle) and cisplatin (80mg/m2, d1 of every cycle), every 3 weeks for 2 cycles before radiation. Definitive intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) will be given. Concurrent nimotuzumab (200mg/w,weekly, 6-7 weeks) and cisplatin (100mg/m2,every 3 weeks for 3cycles )will be administered during IMRT. After 4-6 weeks of the completion of IMRT, adjuvant nimotuzumab (200mg ) will be given every 3 weeks for 8 cycles.
