Phase Ib/Ic: Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced head and neck cancer suitable for radiotherapy alone;
3. Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0~1;
4. Patients in medical conditions to be able to receive radiotherapy (for phase Ib/Ic);
5. Life expectancy of >3 months;
6. At least one measurable lesion (excluding patients in phase Ic combined with adjuvant radiotherapy);
