What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Median progression-free survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of death of any cause or the first progress at any site, censored on the last date of tumor evaluation if no progress has happened.
Measured: 2 years
Secondary outcomes (7)
Objective response rate (ORR)
Objective response rate is the rate of patients achieving complete response or partial response for a certain period of time after intervention.
Measured: 2 years
Disease control rate (DCR)
Disease control rate is the rate of patients achieving complete response, partial response or stable disease for at least 4 weeks after intervention.
Measured: 2 years
Clinical benefit rate (CBR)
Clinical benefit rate is the rate of patients achieving complete response, partial response or stable disease for at least 6 months after intervention.
Measured: 2 years
Median overall survival (OS)
Overall survival is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of death of any cause, censored on the last date of known survival if no death has happened.
Measured: 2 years
Adverse events
NCI-CTC5.0 and RTOG standards are adopted, and acute subjective toxicity, acute objective toxicity and late subjective toxicity are included.
Measured: 2 year
Score of survival quality according to the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 (V3.0)
Score of survival quality according to the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30 (V3.0) before treatment, during treatment, after treatment.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing camrelizumab and stereotactic body radiotherapy in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Ming-Yuan Chen, MD, PhD (86-20-8734-3361, chmingy@mail.sysu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Median progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Apr 2026.
