Efficacy and Safety of Nab-Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, and Capecitabine Chemotherapy Combined With Apatinib and Camrelizumab vs Gemcitabine, Cisplatin Combined With Camrelizumab for Induction Chemotherapy Followed by Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in High-Risk Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: A Prospective, Controlled, Open-Label, Multicenter Phase 3 Clinical Trial
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the TPC regimen (nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin, and capecitabine) combined with apatinib and camrelizumab versus the GP regimen (gemcitabine and cisplatin) combined with camrelizumab for the treatment of high-risk regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma with a high risk of distant metastasis. The evaluation will be conducted through a prospective, controlled, open-label, multicenter phase 3 clinical trial in areas with high incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
