This is a prospective, multicenter phase II clinical study. The subjects are patients with previously untreated locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, with clinical staging of IVA, T1-4, N3, M0. The study aims to preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injectionin the treatment of these patients.
Research Objective: To preliminarily evaluate the efficacy and safety of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection in the treatment of previously untreated locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. Study Design: Prospective, multicenter phase II clinical study. Study Subjects: Previously untreated locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with clinical stage: IVA, T1-4, N3, M0. Sample Size: It is assumed that the 3-year distant metastasis free survival (DMFS) rate of T1-4N3M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after standard treatment is 74%, and the 3-year DMFS rate after combining with Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection in the induction and adjuvant stages for T1-4N3M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients is 90%. With a two-sided α=0.05 and power of 80%, and considering a 10% dropout rate, the total sample size is calculated to be 45 cases. Inclusion Criteria: Refer to the corresponding section. Exclusion Criteria: Refer to the corresponding section. Treatment Plan: Eligible subjects are selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They will receive 3 courses of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection during the induction chemotherapy period, undergo standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy as scheduled, and receive 9 cycles of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection (5mg/kg, Q3W) in the adjuvant stage. This will continue until the researcher judges that the subject can no longer benefit, the disease progresses, intolerable toxicity occurs, the researcher decides to stop, the subject withdraws informed consent, or death occurs. Study Endpoints: Primary Study Endpoint: 3-year distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS). Secondary Study Endpoints: Objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), safety and tolerability (according to CTCAE 5.0 criteria). Exploratory Endpoints: Analysis of the correlation between PD-L1 expression and CTLA-4 expression in tumor tissues and the anti-tumor activity of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection, and the correlation between EBV-DNA quantification and prognosis. Statistical Analysis Methods: The chi-square test will be used for comparing rates. Time-event data will be used to estimate the survival function by the Kaplan-Meier method, draw survival curves, and estimate the median time and its 95% confidence interval.

Patients will receive Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection on the basis of 3 cycles of induction chemotherapy, followed by standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and then 9 cycles of Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab Injection as adjuvant therapy
3-year distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) as assessed by imaging examinations (including CT, MRI, PET-CT) and clinical evaluations to determine the time from randomization to the first occurrence of distant metastasis or death from any cause
DMFS will be calculated as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of first documented distant metastasis (confirmed by imaging modalities such as CT, MRI, or PET-CT) or death from any cause, whichever occurs earlier. Patients who are lost to follow-up or withdraw from the study will be censored at the last date they were known to be free of distant metastasis and alive. The 3-year DMFS rate will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, with the 95% confidence interval reported.
Time frame: Up to 3 years after enrollment (each follow-up cycle is 3 months for the first two years, 6 months for the third year)
Objective response rate (ORR) of the tumor as assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria, including complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) confirmed by imaging examinations (CT, MRI)
ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST 1.1. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and no new lesions, with normalization of tumor marker levels if applicable. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameters. Responses must be confirmed by a subsequent assessment at least 4 weeks after the initial documentation of CR or PR
Time frame: Every 9 weeks during treatment (each treatment cycle is 3 weeks) and at the end of treatment
