247TiP Addition of induction, concurrent and maintenance durvalumab to induction and concurrent chemoradiation vs induction and concurrent chemoradiation for previously untreated locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma: A phase II randomised-controlled trial

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in Southern China and Southeast Asia. Despite the most aggressive and devastating treatment with induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation, about 20-30% of patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC) suffer from relapse at 5 years. Addition of anti-PD(L)1 immune checkpoint inhibitor to this intensive radical treatment may help improve treatment outcomes and survival. We are conducting a phase II randomised-controlled trial on adding durvalumab as induction, concurrent and maintenance therapy to induction and concurrent chemoradiation compared to the same regimen without durvalumab for previously untreated LANPC patients.
