Official title

A Phase II, Open-label, Randomized Controlled Study of PDR001 in Patients With Moderately Differentiated/Undifferentiated Locally Advanced Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Who Progressed on Standard Treatment

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this randomized controlled Phase II study is to assess the efficacy of PDR001 versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). By blocking the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, PDR001 leads to the activation of a T-cell mediated antitumor immune response.
