Concurrent and Adjuvant Nimotuzumab Combined With Induction Chemotherapy Plus Chemoradiation in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Summary

Nimotuzumab is an IgG1 humanized monoclonal antibody that recognized an epitope located in the extra cellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Nimotuzumab has been granted approval for use in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN), glioma and nasopharyngeal cancer in different countries. This is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial, with the purpose to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of nimotuzumab combined with induction chemotherapy plus chemoradiation and adjuvant therapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
