About this study
Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multi-center Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Camrelizumab+Gemcitabine+Cisplatin Versus Placebo+Gemcitabine+Cisplatin in Subjects With Recurrent/Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
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.
Read the detailed description
In this study, eligible subject will be randomized into study arm or control arm to accept study treatment. Treatment cycles of chemotherapy will be at most 6 weeks which will be decided by investigators. Progression-free survival (PFS) determined by the Independent Review Committee (IRC) will be the primary outcome measures.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Camrelizumab, Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in people with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, run by Jiangsu HengRui Medicine Co., Ltd. at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Progression-free survival (PFS) (time frame: up to 24 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03707509, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jul 2022.
