Envafolimab Combined With Chemoradiotherapy and Recombinant Human Endostatin for LA-NPC.

This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study, to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of envafolimab combined with chemoradiotherapy and recombinant human endostatin in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm phase II clinical study. Patients with high-risk locally advanced stage III-IVA (8th AJCC/UICC staging) primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma, i.e., T4N+ or N2-3, or pretreatment EBV-DNA ≥4000 copies/ml, or lymph node extra-envelope invasion grade 3 (invasion of muscle skin, etc.) are enrolled. After being screened to meet the enrolment criteria and signing the informed consent form, they will receive 3 cycles of induction therapy with envafolimab combined with recombinant human vascular endothelial inhibitor and gemcitabine and cisplatin, followed by cisplatin-concomitant radiotherapy, and 8 cycles of adjuvant therapy with envafolimab after radiotherapy.

4. high-risk locally advanced stage III-IVA (8th AJCC/UICC staging), i.e., T4N+ or N2-3, or pretreatment EBV-DNA ≥4000 copies/ml, or lymph node extra-envelope invasion grade 3 (invasion of muscle skin, etc.), treatment-naive nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
