Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding the experimental drug KL-A167 to standard chemotherapy (cisplatin and gemcitabine) helps people with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma live longer without their cancer growing. About 295 adults aged 18–75 are participating. The study compares the drug combination against a placebo plus chemotherapy to see if it delays disease progression.
