In order to further verify the effectiveness of the new prevention irradiation model for low-risk areas for nasopharyngeal carcinoma under immunotherapy, our team intends to conduct a non-inferiority clinical trial. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two treatment modalities - local region reduced-target radiotherapy versus full-target radiatiotherapy (with/without CTV2) for newly diagnosed distant metastasis nasopharyngeal carcinoma, based on the full-course immunotherapy and full-dose chemotherapy. The primary endpoints are 2-year PFS and the incidence of grade 3 or higher radiation-related adverse events. If non-inferiority is confirmed, a new standard of "immunotherapy combined with reduced-target radiotherapy" will be established, ensuring efficacy while significantly reducing toxicity, and providing a more optimal comprehensive treatment strategy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Age: 18 years - 70 years.
The patient has signed the informed consent form and is willing and able to follow the visit schedule, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other research procedures as per the research plan.
Newly diagnosed distant metastasis patients who achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after receiving adequate first-line systematic therapy (platinum-containing doublet chemotherapy + PD-1 monoclonal antibody).
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma non-keratinizing carcinoma (differentiated or undifferentiated type, i.e., WHO type II or III), confirmed by histological and/or cytological examination, with metastatic lesions detected on imaging (biopsy of metastatic tissue is preferred but not mandatory).
Patients with malignant pleural effusion or those with other malignant tumors
Patients who have received ≥2 prior lines of systemic therapy.
Patients with known or suspected autoimmune diseases, including dementia and epileptic seizures.
Patients with grade ≥ II coronary heart disease, arrhythmia (including QTc interval prolongation in males > 450 ms, females > 470 ms) and heart failure.
