New treatment option for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)
Official title A Phase II Study to Evaluate HLX43 in Subjects With Recurrent/Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Failed or Intolerance to Second-line Therapy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06839066
What this study is testing
What is HLX43 DOSE 1?
HLX43 DOSE 1 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc).
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study is to explore the reasonable dosage and to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HLX43 (Anti-PD-L1 ADC) in patients with recurrent/metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) who failed or are intolerant to second-line herapy.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
