Brief Summary

The study is to evaluate the efficacy of KL-A167 injection in subjects with recurrent/metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, as measured by Overall Response Rate (ORR) per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors RECIST Version 1.1

Detailed Description

KL167-Ⅱ-05-CTP (NCT03848286) is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase II study of KL-A167 in pts with R/M NPC. Eligible pts were diagnosed with histopathologically confirmed R/M nonkeratinizing NPC and had received ≥ two lines of chemotherapy. Pts received 900 mg KL-A167 every 2 weeks until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) evaluated by the independent review committee (IRC) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1.

• Subjects who have taken chemotherapeutic drugs which should be discontinued for ≥ 4 weeks before the first dose (mitomycin or nitrosoureas should be discontinued for ≥ 6 weeks); received surgery, molecular targeted therapy, traditional Chinese medicine therapy with anti-tumor indications, radiotherapy, and anti-tumor therapy with immunostimulatory effect which should be discontinued for 4 weeks or more than 5 half-lives; and antibody drugs which should be discontinued for ≥ 12 weeks (≥ 4 weeks after discontinuation of bevacizumab or nimotuzumab is acceptable); moreover, all treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs, except for alopecia) should have stabilized and recovered to the level specified in the eligibility criteria or ≤ Grade 1 toxicity (NCI CTCAE V.5.0);
• Subjects of childbearing potential (male or female) must use effective medical contraception during the study and for 6 months after the end of dosing. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 72 h before the first dose;
• Subjects voluntarily participate in the study, sign the ICF, and will be able to comply with the protocol-specified visits and relevant procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

• Subjects with locally advanced disease will not be screened if they can receive radical treatment such as surgery, radical radiotherapy, or radical chemoradiotherapy;
