Inclusion
Inclusion Criteria:

- Tumor staged as III-IVA (AJCC 8th, except T3N0).
- Patients who achieved both radiological and biological CR according to the RECISTcriteria on the basis of MRI, PET-CT and endoscopic biopsy, and EBV DNA load =0copies/mL (or lower than the test line) after 3 cycles of induction therapy ofplatinum-based chemotherapy plus immunotherapy.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤1.
- Adequate organ function: Adequate marrow function: neutrocyte count≥4×10e9/L, hemoglobin ≥90g/L and plateletcount ≥100×10e9/L. Adequate liver and kidney function: Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)/AspartateAminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5×upper limit of normal (ULN), and bilirubin ≤ 2.5×ULN.;creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 ml/min or creatinine of no more than 1.5 times theupper normal limit.
- Patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and give writteninformed consent.
Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who are evaluated as PR or SD or PD or EBV DNA load of >0 copies/mL after 3cycles of induction therapy of platinum-based chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 blockades.
- The laboratory examination value does not meet the relevant standards within 7 daysbefore enrollment.
- Patients have received prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or surgery (other than diagnostic treatment).
- Subjects who underwent anti-PD-1 /PD-L1 antibody or anti-CTLA-4 antibody (or any otherantibody acting on T cell synergistic stimulation or checkpoint pathway) andanti-angiogenic drugs.
- Active central nervous system (CNS) metastases (indicated by clinical symptoms,cerebral edema, steroid requirement, or progressive disease).
- Grade ≥2 epistaxis (defined as the need for medical intervention such as nasaltamponade, cautery, topical vasoconstrictors, according to CTCAE 5.0) within 1 monthprior to enrollment; Macroscopic hemoptysis or hematemesis) is defined as ≥1/2teaspoon of bright red blood, or a blood clot with little/no sputum on each cough).

- Has a known history of interstitial lung disease.
- Known history of hypersensitivity to any components of the PD-1/PD-L1 blockadesformulation or other monoclonal antibodies.
- Has a known history of allergic reactions to the drugs in the study (gemcitabine,cisplatin, docetaxel, abraxane, paclitaxel ).

Subjects with the following conditions will not beexcluded from this study: asthma that requires intermittent use of bronchodilators,hypothyroidism stable on hormone replacement, vitiligo, Graves' disease, orHashimoto's disease. Additional exceptions may be made with medical monitor approval.
- Complications requiring long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs or systemic or localuse of immunosuppressive-dose corticosteroids.
- HIV positive; HBsAg positive and HBV DNA copy number positive (quantitative detection ≥ 1000 cps/ml); chronic hepatitis C with blood screening positive (HCV antibodypositive).
- Has a known history of active TB (bacillus tuberculosis) within 1 year; anti-TBtreatment is ongoing or within 1 year prior to screening.

- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Other patients who were considered unsuitable by the treating physicians.
