Xerostomia-optimised IMRT Versus Standard IMRT in NPC

Xerostomia-optimised Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy Versus Standard Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients:a Multicenter Non-inferior Randomized Controlled Phase III Clinical Trial


Sponsor

Zhongshan People's Hospital, Guangdong, China

Enrollment

524 participants

Start Date

Oct 23, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is a multi-center, non-inferiority, open-label, randomized controlled phase III clinical trial in primary diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients without distant metastasis. This study aims to compare the regional control, survival outcomes, radiation-related toxicities, and quality of life (QoL) of xerostomia-optimized intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus standard intensity-modulated radiotherapy in NPC patients


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 70 Years

Inclusion Criteria8

  • Not received radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other anti-tumor treatment (including immunotherapy);
  • No contraindications to chemotherapy or radiotherapy;

  • Sign the consent form.

Exclusion Criteria7
