Among survivors, 45.5% reported high satisfaction with their QOL, and 84.8% did not experience weight loss. This combination therapy demonstrated promising efficacy and safety, suggesting it may be a viable treatment option for this patient population.

After discontinuing the drug and giving continuous norepinephrine to increase BP, the patient's BP returned to stable. This case suggests that although nimotuzumab-related hypotension is mostly mild and reversible, BP monitoring should still be strengthened to maintain vigilance against severe hypotension and intervene promptly in clinical practice.
These findings indicate that adding nimotuzumab to CCRT does not improve survival in patients with LA-NPC with a suboptimal response to IC, underscoring the need for predictive biomarkers and alternative therapeutic strategies. Trial registration: NCT04223024.
