Testing Toripalimab with Cisplatin for nasopharyngeal cancer recurrent
Official title: A Study of Toripalimab in Combination With Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in Participants With Recurrent Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Single-Arm Study of Toripalimab in Combination With Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in Recurrent Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Systemic Treatment Naïve Participants
- Phase 4
- 1 group
- One site, in Toronto
- Recruiting
Interventions (4)
- Medication
Toripalimab
Participants will receive toripalimab via intravenous infusion (IV) on Day 1 every 3 weeks (Q3W) during the Chemotherapy-based treatment phase and Maintenance treatment phase.
- Medication
Cisplatin
Participants will receive cisplatin via IV on Day 1 Q3W during the Chemotherapy-based treatment phase.
- Medication
Gemcitabine
Participants will receive gemcitabine via IV on Day 1 and Day 8 Q3W during the Chemotherapy-based treatment phase.
- Medication
Carboplatin
In the event of cisplatin-related nephrotoxicity or at the discretion of the investigator due to cisplatin-related poor tolerability, carboplatin can substitute for cisplatin use from cycle 2 onward. These participants will receive carboplatin via IV on Day 1 Q3W during the Chemotherapy-based treatment phase.

The trial’s own eligibility text, word for word from the registry. Only the trial site can say who takes part.

- +EBER/EBV-negative (HPV+/-)
- +EBER/EBV-positive (HPV+/-)
- +Measurable disease based on RECIST v 1.1 as determined by the siteTrial siteA hospital or clinic where a study is actually run.Read more →. Note: Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
