About this trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Becotatug Vedotin (MRG003), an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), combined with the PD-1 inhibitor Pucotenlimab as induction therapy for high-risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), compared to the standard gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) regimen combined with Pucotenlimab, followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and adjuvant immunotherapy.
