Study Summary

At present, the treatment regimen of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma still needs to be further improved, and the focus of improvement lies in "replacing cisplatin with high-efficiency and low-toxicity treatment regimen". Considering the synergistic effect among radiotherapy, immunotherapy and anti-angiogenesis therapy, we chose PD-1 inhibitor combined with bevacizumab to replace cisplatin chemotherapy.

Study Description

We plan to use PD-1 inhibitor combined with bevacizumab to replace cisplatin (induction + concurrent ± adjuvant) in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Considering the safety of the original study, we will set up two groups for the adjuvant treatment stage: one group will only use PD-1 inhibitor at the adjuvant treatment stage (low risk group), and the other group will use bevacizumab +PD-1 inhibitor combined treatment (high risk group). Once the efficacy and safety of this protocol are confirmed, it may provide a new treatment option for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
