Overview

To compare whether AK104 combined with GP or PFLL can improve survival benefit, safety and tolerability in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who have failed first-line treatment; To compare the survival benefits of GP or GFLL treatment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients who had failed first-line therapy; To compare the survival benefits of GP or GFLL combined with AK104 in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had failed first-line therapy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Age ≥18 years and ≤75 years; 2. Non-keratinized differentiated or undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma confirmed by pathology; 3. For patients with recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who are not eligible for local treatment and meet the definition of the staging system (8th edition) of the International Union against Cancer and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (UICC/AJCC), local treatment mainly refers to measures related to anti-tumor treatment, including surgery, radiofrequency ablation, transhepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE), radiotherapy (except for patients with bone metastasis).

There is at least one measurable lesion according to the RECIST1.1 evaluation criteria, and a lesion that has previously received, for example, radiation therapy can be considered a target lesion if there is objective evidence of disease progression. 7. Patients are required to provide tissue samples within three years prior to enrollment; 8. Expected survival ≥3 months; 9.

Had major surgery other than diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer within 28 days prior to randomization or was expected to require major surgery during the study period; 3. The subject has any active autoimmune disease or a history of autoimmune disease (e.g., but not limited to: interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism; Subjects with vitiligo or asthma that has been in complete remission in childhood can be adults without any intervention.Patients with asthma requiring medical intervention with bronchodilators were not included); 4. Subjects were taking immunosuppressants, or systemic, or absorbable local hormone therapy for immunosuppressive purposes (doses >10mg/ day of prednisone or other therapeutic hormones) and continued to use within 2 weeks prior to enrollment; 5. Known subject is previously allergic to macromolecular protein preparation ingredients; 6. The subject has clinically symptomatic central nervous system metastases (e.g. brain edema, need for hormonal intervention, or progression of brain metastases); Other aggressive malignancies within 7.5 years, except locally curable (appearing to cure) malignancies such as basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial cancers of the bladder, cervix and breast in situ;
  2. Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment within the last two years, except vitiligo, alopecia, Grave disease, psoriasis or eczema that did not require systemic treatment within the last two years, hypothyroidism requiring stable hormone replacement therapy only (due to autoimmune thyroiditis), type 1 diabetes requiring stable dose insulin replacement therapy only; Childhood asthma that has been completely cured in adulthood without intervention or primary disease that does not recur unless stimulated by external factors; 9. Active or previous inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or chronic diarrhea); 10. Systemic glucocorticoid therapy (dose equivalent to 10mg/ day of prednisone) or other immunosuppressants are required within the first seven days of initial administration of the investigational drug. 11. Having allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; 12. Gastrointestinal perforation or fistula within the first six months of enrollment; 13. There were necrotic foci within the first four weeks of enrollment that researchers thought might be a potential source of major bleeding;14. History of interstitial pneumonia; 15. History of active tuberculosis; 16. Serious infections, including but not limited to complications requiring hospitalization, sepsis, or severe pneumonia, occur within four weeks prior to the first application of the investigational drug; 17. Active infections that require systematic treatment; 18. Untreated chronic hepatitis B or chronic HBVDNA≥1000IU/ml or active hepatitis C. Non-active HBsAg carriers, stable hepatitis B after treatment (HBVDNA < 1000IU/ml) and cured hepatitis C can be included. Patients who are positive for HCV antibodies can only be enrolled if they test negative for HCVRNA. 19. History of major surgery within 30 days before the first application of the investigational drug; 20. There is meningeal metastasis or active brain metastasis; 21. Uncontrolled pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring repeated drainage; 22. Toxicity problems unresolved at the time of previous antitumor therapy, defined as unresolved to level 0 or 1 of NCICTCAEv5.0, or levels specified in the inclusion/exclusion criteria, except hair loss. 23. Live attenuated vaccines were administered within 30 days prior to the first application of the investigational drug, or live attenuated vaccines were planned to be administered during the study period. 24. Known history of severe allergy to other monoclonal antibodies; 25. Pregnant or lactating women; 26.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
