NCT03707509

Brief Summary

This study is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter phase III clinical study. Target population is patients with recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had not received systemic chemotherapy. Study objective is to compare the efficacy and safety of camrelizumab in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin with placebo in combination with gemcitabine and cisplatin in study population in China. camrelizumab is a humanized anti-PD1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody.
