Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) plus MRG-003 (a targeted drug) before standard chemoradiation can improve outcomes for people with advanced, EBV-related nasopharyngeal cancer. About 35 participants will receive the combination for 3 cycles, then standard treatment, followed by more pembrolizumab. The main goal is to see how many patients have a complete clinical response before starting standard therapy.
