Sponsor's own description

This is a phase 3, multi-center, randomized controlled trial, with the purpose to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of PD-1 blockade (toripalimab) combined with the de-intensified chemoradiotherapy sparing concurrent cisplatin (i.e., toripalimab incorporated into induction chemotherapy and radiotherapy) in high-risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
