Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING

Brief Summary

A phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BL-B01D1 in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had failed at least two lines of platinum-based chemotherapy after receiving PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody as the last line of therapy.

Detailed Description

Primary objective: To evaluate BICR-based objective response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS) benefit of BL-B01D1 versus physician's choice of chemotherapy.

Conditions

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Experimental group

Participants receive BL-B01D1 as intravenous infusion for the first cycle (3 weeks). Participants with clinical benefit could receive additional treatment for more cycles. The administration will be terminated because of disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurring or other reasons.

Administration by intravenous infusion

Control group

Participants receive capecitabine, gemcitabine, docetaxel in the first cycle (3 weeks). Participants with clinical benefit could receive additional treatment for more cycles. The administration will be terminated because of disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurring or other reasons.

6. Must have at least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST v1.1;

7. ECOG performance status score of 0 or 1;

8. Toxicity from prior anti-tumor treatment has recovered to ≤ Grade 1 as defined by NCI-CTCAE v5.0;

9. No severe cardiac dysfunction, with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%;

10. Organ function levels must meet the requirements without transfusion, use of any cell growth factors, and/or platelet-raising drugs within 14 days before randomization;

13. For premenopausal women with childbearing potential, a serum pregnancy test must be performed within 7 days before starting treatment, and the result must be negative. They must not be breastfeeding. All enrolled patients should take adequate barrier contraception measures throughout the treatment period and for 6 months after treatment ends.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Use of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, etc., within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives before randomization, or palliative radiotherapy and antitumor therapy within 2 weeks;

2. Patients with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma suitable for curative-intent local treatment (surgery or radiotherapy) should be excluded;

3. Prior treatment with ADC drugs containing topoisomerase I inhibitor as the small-molecule toxin, or ADC drugs targeting EGFR and/or HER3;

4. History of severe cardiac disease;

5. Unstable thrombotic events requiring therapeutic intervention within 6 months before screening (except for catheter-related thrombosis lasting >4 weeks);

6. QT interval prolongation, complete left bundle branch block, third-degree atrioventricular block, or frequent and uncontrolled arrhythmias;

7. Diagnosis of active malignancy within 3 years before randomization;

8. Poorly controlled hypertension despite two antihypertensive medications, or poorly controlled diabetes, or presence of diabetic gangrene;

9. History of ILD requiring steroid treatment, current ILD, or ≥Grade 2 radiation pneumonitis;

10. Concurrent pulmonary disease resulting in clinically significant respiratory impairment;

11. Imaging findings indicating tumor invasion or encasement of major thoracic, cervical, or vascular structures (if the investigator deems it does not affect patient eligibility, discussion with the sponsor's medical team is required);

12. Patients with active central nervous system metastases;

13. History of allergy to recombinant humanized antibodies or any excipient of BL-B01D1;

14. History of autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation;

15. Positive for HIV antibody, active HBV infection, or HCV infection;

16. Severe infection within 4 weeks before randomization, or pulmonary infection or active pulmonary inflammation within 2 weeks before randomization;

17. Pleural effusion, pericardial effusion, or ascites requiring drainage and/or symptomatic within 4 weeks before randomization;

18. Use of other investigational drugs or therapies within 4 weeks before randomization;

19. History of severe neurological or psychiatric disorders;

20. Presence of severe unhealed wounds, ulcers, or fractures within 4 weeks before signing informed consent;
