In week 0, eligible patients will be enrolled in a clinical study on the combination of Toripalimab, induction chemotherapy, sequential radiotherapy, and OMEGA-3 for the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Induction chemotherapy stage: Toripalimab 240mg d1, paclitaxel (albumin bound) 260mg/m2 d1, cisplatin 80mg/m2 d2 Q3W X 3 cycles. Radiotherapy stage: IMRT+Toripalimab 240mg Q3W X 3 cycles+Omega-3 (6 pills qd during radiotherapy). IMRT:GTVnx 69.96Gy,GTVnd 69.96Gy,CTV1 60Gy,CTV2 54Gy。 Maintenance treatment: Toripalimab 240mg Q3W X 6 cycles.

  • The international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) are ≤ 1.5 × ULN (unless the subject is receiving anticoagulant treatment and the coagulation parameters (PT/INR and APTT) are within the expected range of anticoagulant treatment at the time of screening).

Exclusion criteria

  • Pathology shows keratinized squamous cell carcinoma (WHO classification type I).
  • Patients who have undergone radiotherapy or systemic chemotherapy before.
  • Pregnant or lactating women who are in the reproductive period and have not taken effective contraceptive measures.
  • HIV positive.
  • Have suffered from other malignant tumors (except for cured basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ).
  • Patients who have been treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1, etc.).
  • Patients with immunodeficiency diseases and a history of organ transplantation.
  • Patients who have been treated with high-dose corticosteroids, anti-cancer monoclonal antibodies, or other immunosuppressive agents within 4 weeks.
  • Patients with significantly impaired heart, liver, lung, kidney, and bone marrow function.
  • Simultaneously using other investigational drugs or in other clinical trials.
  • Refusal or inability to sign the informed consent form for participation in the trial.
  • Individuals with personality or mental disorders, without civil capacity or with limited civil capacity.
  • hepatitis B B surface antigen (HBsAg) is positive and the peripheral blood hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) is ≥ 1000 cps/ml.
  • Patients with positive HCV antibody test results are only eligible for this study if their HCV RNA polymerase chain reaction test results are negative.
  • Patients who have experienced any bleeding events with a severity rating of 3 or above in CTCAE5.0 within the first 4 weeks of screening and are deemed to have a high risk of bleeding by the researchers.
  • If there have been any arterial/venous thrombotic events within the 6 months prior to the start of screening, such as cerebrovascular accidents (including temporary ischemic attacks, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction), deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism.
  • Patients with hypertension who cannot be reduced to the normal range through antihypertensive medication (systolic blood pressure ≥ 140mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90mmHg); Based on the average of BP readings obtained from ≥ 2 measurements, there has been a history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy.
  • Past or current inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic diarrhea); History of previous or existing gastrointestinal perforation and/or fistula.
  • Known history of active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). Subjects suspected of having active TB should undergo chest X-ray, sputum examination, and exclusion based on clinical symptoms and signs.
  • Other serious, uncontrolled internal medical conditions and infections, or other contraindications to treatment, or any condition that researchers believe may pose a risk to receiving the study drug treatment, or interfere with the evaluation of the study drug, subject safety, or analysis of the study results.

Primary outcomes

  1. 2-year progression free survival period

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

    It refers to the probability of disease progression or death from any cause objectively recorded from a random date within two years, evaluated according to RECIST v1.1.

Secondary outcomes

  1. objective response rate

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

    It refers to the proportion of patients who achieve complete or partial remission, evaluated by an independent review committee based on RECIST v1.1 for all randomized patients with measurable disease at baseline.

  2. Overall survival

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

    It refers to the period from a random date to the date of death for any reason, evaluated according to RECIST v1.1.

  3. Adverse reactions

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

    According to the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 grading.

  4. Quality of life score

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

    Evaluate through the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Head and Neck Cancer-35 module and Core 30.For EORTC QLQ - H&N35:

    Title: European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Head and Neck Cancer - 35 Range: Items 1-4, subscales vary. Meaning: Higher symptom scores = worse outcome; higher functional scores (if any) = better function.

    For EORTC QLQ - C30:

    Title: European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 Range: 0-100 for scales. Meaning: Higher functional scores = better outcome; higher symptom scores = worse outcome.

    Align with standardized scoring.

  5. Nutritional status analysis

    Time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 2 years

    Assess nutritional status based on body mass index.Unabbreviated scale title: Body Mass Index (BMI) Minimum and maximum values: Theoretically, BMI can range from near 0 to over 100, but in practical clinical and research contexts for assessing human nutritional status, the typical relevant range is approximately 10 to 60.

    Higher scores meaning: A BMI within the normal range (18.5 - 24.9 for adults) indicates a better nutritional outcome (appropriate weight for height, supporting good health). Scores lower than 18.5 (underweight) mean a worse outcome (increased risk of nutritional deficiencies). Scores higher than 24.9 (overweight or obese, with obesity classes having higher values) also mean a worse outcome (increased risk of various health problems related to excess weight).
