Induction chemotherapy plus camrelizumab combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma in non-endemic areas: a phase 2 clinical trial in North China.
Trial report in BMC medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
backgroundImmunotherapy has been confirmed efficient in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), but its role in the locoregionally advanced setting is undetermined. Previous evidence in non-endemic areas of NPC is also lacking. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of induction chemotherapy plus camrelizumab followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for patients with locoregionally advanced NPC in non-endemic areas.
methodsIn this phase 2 trial, patients born and living in North China with untreated stage III to IVa NPC were enrolled. All patients received two 21-day cycles of camrelizumab (200 mg) plus docetaxel (75 mg/m
resultsFrom February 2021 to September 2023, a total of 57 patients were included for analysis. The objective response rate was 92.8% after induction therapy and 100% after CCRT. With a median follow-up time of 21 months, the 3-year DFS rate was 84%. The 3-year locoregional recurrence-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and overall survival rates were 95.8%, 90.9%, and 89.5%, respectively. The most common grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events were leukopenia and neutropenia during induction therapy, and weight loss and lymphopenia during CCRT.
conclusionsInduction immunochemotherapy combined with CCRT shows promising antitumor activity with a manageable safety profile in patients with locoregionally advanced NPC from non-endemic areas, which deserves further validation.
