This is an open-label, multi-center, phase II trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of postponing or omitting re-irradiation after systemic therapy with tislelizumab and chemotherapy in patients with unresectable recurrent loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Patients who did not respond to or progressed on another ICI are allowed to receive tislelizumab rechallenge as a subgroup.
High dose reirradiation is usually recommended for unresectable recurrent loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, it potentially adds to the RT-related severe toxicities and deaths. This trial aims to investigate the feasibility of postponing or even omitting re-irradiation based on effective first-line systemic therapy with tislelizumab and chemotherapy. For patients that progressed after exposure to another PD-1 antibody,tislelizumab rechallenge is accepted as a second subgroup.In this trial, all patients will receive chemotherapy (on doctors' recommendation) and PD-1 antibody (tislelizumab 200mg every three weeks). Patients with no response to the systemic therapy will receive salvage low dose re-irradiation delivered by SBRT, while those who showed complete or partial response will continue maintenance therapy until progression, death or intolerable toxicity, and reirradiation will be postponed or omitted.

1. Chemotherapy (including but not limited to following): GP regimen: gemcitabine 1000mg/m2 d1, d8 + cisplatin 25 mg/m2 d1-3, every 3 weeks for 4-6 cycles; GX regimen: gemcitabine 800mg/m2 d1 + capecitabine 750 mg/m2 d1-14, every 3 weeks for 4-6 cycles. Capecitabine: 750 mg/m2 d1-14, every 3 weeks until unacceptable toxicities or patient's withdraw. 2. anti-PD-1 antibody: Tislelizumab concurrently with chemotherapy: 200mg, every 3 weeks for 12 weeks. Tislelizumab in maintenance period: 200mg every 3 weeks or 400mg every 6 weeks, until one year or disease progression, or in the case of intolerable toxicities.

RECRUITINGObjective response rate (ORR)
Defined as either a confirmed CR or a PR, as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) .
Time frame: 3 months
Progress-free survival (PFS)
Defined from date of enrollment to date of first documentation of progression or death due to any cause.
Time frame: 2 year
Overall survival (OS)
Defined from date of enrollment to date of first documentation of death from Defined from date of randomization to date of first documentation of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.
Time frame: 2 year
Adverse events (AEs)
Analysis of adverse events (AEs) are based on treatment-related AEs (trAEs) and immune-related AEs (irAEs), and all-grade AEs and grade 3-4 AEs. AEs are evaluated by investigators according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0
Time frame: 2 year
Quality of life (QoL)
QoL scores were assessed by using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 (EORTCQLQ-C30).
Time frame: 1 year
