Study Design

Total Participants: 36
Study Start date:
December 10, 2019
Estimated Completion Date:
November 30, 2024

Study Description

The trial will recruit 36 patients, and they will undergo radiotherapy plus anti-PD-1 antibody. Patients will receive conventional intensity-modulated radiotherapy or stereotactic body radiation therapy first for a total dose more than 45Gy. Camrelizumab 200mg intravenously every 3 weeks will be initiated within 7 days after radiotherapy.
