Study Summary

This study was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of YL201 with Investigator's choice of chemotherapy in subjects with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who have failed prior PD-(L)1 inhibitor and at least two lines of chemotherapy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Voluntarily sign a written informed consent form (ICF).

  2. Aged ≥18 years and ≤75 years, male or female.

  3. ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1.

  4. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months.

  5. Histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngealcarcinoma that is not amenable to curative treatment.

  6. Have failed prior treatment with PD-(L)1 inhibitors and at least two lines ofchemotherapy.

  7. Suitable for treatment with investigator's choice of chemotherapy (docetaxel,capecitabine, or gemcitabine).

  8. At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST v1.1.

  9. Subjects are willing to provide the archived or freshly obtained tumor tissue (freshly obtained or archived) for detection of B7-H3 expression

  10. Adequate organ function.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of other malignant tumors within 5 years prior to the first dose of studydrug. Subjects who have been cured of other tumors by local therapy, such as basalcell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of skin, bladder cancer in situ, cervicalcarcinoma in situ, or breast cancer in situ, are not excluded.

  2. Previously received B7-H3-targeted drug therapy, including antibody, antibody-drugconjugate (ADC), and chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T).

  3. Prior treatment with a topoisomerase I inhibitor or an antibody-drug conjugatecontaining a topoisomerase I inhibitor.

  4. Inadequate washout period for prior anti-tumor treatment before the first dose ofstudy drug.

  5. Received radical radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug;local palliative radiation for symptom control is allowed, but treatment must becompleted at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug, and there is noplan for additional radiotherapy to the same lesion.

  6. Received systemic steroids or other immunosuppressive therapy within 2 weeks beforethe first dose of study drug.

  7. Received any live vaccine within 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug orintend to receive a live vaccine during the study.

  8. Presence of brain stem or meningeal metastases, spinal cord metastases orcompression.

  9. Presence of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis. Participants with treated brainmetastases are eligible if the metastases are asymptomatic and stable, and noimmediate local or systemic treatment is needed within 2 weeks before the firstdose.

  10. Has an uncontrolled concurrent disease.

  11. Presence of severe uncontrolled cardiovascular disorder.

  12. History of interstitial lung disease (ILD) or pneumonitis that requiredcorticosteroids, or current ILD/ pneumonitis.

  13. Concomitant pulmonary disorder leading to clinically severe respiratory impairment.

  14. Chronic autoimmune or inflammatory diseases requiring systemic therapy within 2years prior to the first dose or currently receiving systemic therapy.

  15. Clinical symptoms of pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites or requiringrelevant repeated drainage.

  16. Serious infections within 4 weeks prior to the first dose.

  17. Known active pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).

  18. Active hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.

  19. Unresolved toxicities from previous antitumor therapy.

  20. Known allergy to any component of the study drug; history of severe allergicreactions or known history of severe hypersensitivity to other monoclonal antibodiesor recombinant proteins, or history of severe infusion reactions.

  21. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or women planning to become pregnant or breastfeed duringthe study.

  22. Any illness, medical condition, organ system dysfunction, or social situation deemedby the investigator to be likely to interfere with a subject's ability to sign ICF,adversely affect the subject's ability to cooperate and participate in the study, orcompromise the interpretation of study results.

Study Design

Total Participants: 400
Treatment Group(s): 4
Primary Treatment: Capecitabine
Phase: 3
Study Start date:
December 31, 2024
Estimated Completion Date:
December 01, 2028

Study Description

The primary objective of this study is to assess whether treatment with YL201 prolongs overall survival (OS) and increases objective response rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review (BICR) compared with treatment of investigator's choice of chemotherapy among subjects with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The secondary objectives of the study are to further evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of YL201, and the correlation between B7-H3 expression level and the efficacy of YL201.
