About this trial

Based on the application prospect of rmh-TNF combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of solid tumors. In this study, cisplatin combined with low dose 5-FU was proposed to enhance the immune function of 5-FU. Tianenfu is a novel recombinant modified human tumor necrosis with high activity and low toxicity. The fact that RMH-TNF has the potential of better in vivo efficacy and clinical antitumor effect. Therefore, the study was designed to investigate the treatment of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with TNF versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with placebo for the efficacy and safety of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
