About this trial

The treatment of distant metastasis is a key challenge for nasopharyngeal carcinoma because of poor outcomes, among which, chemotherapy is the cornerstone. However, many studies reported the use of different chemotherapy regimens to prolong the survival of metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, while few of them focused on how to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy or improve the life quality of patients. Blocking the immune checkpoint is one of the effective strategies of tumor immunotherapy. Thus, we sought to find a proper chemotherapy regimen combined with PD-1 antibody JS001.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosed by pathology or cytology.

Primarily metastatic (stage IVB as defined by the International Union against Cancer and American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system for NPC, eighth edition) is not amenable for local-regional treatment or curative treatment.

Has not received prior systemic treatment for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, except for neoadjuvant chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, or adjuvant chemotherapy 6 months prior to the first treatment.

The Karnofsky performance status score is at least 70 points (if the decreased score is caused by the tumor, the minimum score can be 50 points after the judgment of researchers.)

Disqualifiers

Allergic to monoclonal antibodies, any JS001 components, gemcitabine, cisplatin, or 5-fluorouracil.

Has prior therapy including anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or CTLA4.

Major surgery within 28 days prior to the randomization (not including diagnostic surgery) or plan to be conducted during the study.

Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic treatment or has a history of autoimmune disease.
