  13. Any other condition, including symptomatic heart failure, unstable angina,myocardial infarction, active infection requiring systemic therapy, mental illnessor domestic/social factors, deemed by the investigator to be likely to interferewith a patient's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate and participate in thestudy, or interferes with the interpretation of the results.

Study Description

The trial plans to enroll patients with non-metastatic stage III-IVA (AJCC 8th, T4N1 or T1-4N2-3) locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either gemcitabine-cisplatin induction chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (standard-therapy group) or cadonilimab combined with standard therapy (cadonilimab group). Cadonilimab was administered at a dosage of 10 mg per square meter intravenously once every 3 weeks for up to 17 cycles (3 induction cycles and 14 adjuvant cycles).
