- Ages 12 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Child, Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Histological or cytological confirmation of recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer with either EBV or non-EBV-associated cancer. The following subgroups are included:
- EBER/EBV-negative (HPV+/-)
- EBER/EBV-positive (HPV+/-)
- Recurrent/metastatic (stage IV-B as defined by the International Union against Cancer [UICC] and American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] staging system for nasopharyngeal cancer [NPC], eighth edition) or recurrent NPC after curative treatment. For recurrent NPC, more than 6 months between the last dose of radiotherapy or chemotherapy and the date of recurrence.
- Measurable disease based on RECIST v 1.1 as determined by the site. Note: Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been demonstrated in such lesions.
Who cannot join
- Disease that is suitable for local therapy administered with curative intent.
- Prior systemic therapy administered in the recurrent or metastatic setting. Participants who develop disease recurrence within 6 months from curative intent chemoradiation will be excluded.
- Rapidly progressing disease (e.g., tumor bleeding, uncontrolled tumor pain) in the opinion of the treating investigator.
- Active or untreated central nervous system (CNS) metastases (e.g., brain or leptomeningeal), as determined on computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation during screening and prior radiographic assessments. Participants who have prior therapies for brain or leptomeningeal metastasis and have been stabilized ≥ 1 month and have discontinued systemic steroid therapy (>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) ≥ 1 month prior to enrollment are eligible.
- Other protocol-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria apply.

About this study
Official title: Single-Arm Study of Toripalimab in Combination With Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in Recurrent Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Systemic Treatment Naïve Participants
This study aims to investigate toripalimab with chemotherapy in participants with nasopharyngeal cancer.
Read the detailed description
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of toripalimab in combination with chemotherapy (cisplatin and gemcitabine), as measured by objective response rate (ORR) assessed by a Blinded Independent Central Review Committee (BICR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 in first-line recurrent metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer participants (both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and non-EBV-associated).
- Conditions
- Nasopharyngeal Cancer Recurrent
- Being tested
- Toripalimab, Cisplatin, Gemcitabine, Carboplatin
- Keywords
- Programmed death 1 [PD1] inhibitor, Toripalimab, Recurrent metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
- Medical subject headings
- Nasopharyngeal Neoplasms
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ToripalimabDrug
Also called JS001, TAB-001, CHS-007
Participants will receive toripalimab via intravenous infusion (IV) on Day 1 every 3 weeks (Q3W) during the Chemotherapy-based treatment phase and Maintenance treatment phase.
CisplatinDrug
Participants will receive cisplatin via IV on Day 1 Q3W during the Chemotherapy-based treatment phase.
GemcitabineDrug
Participants will receive gemcitabine via IV on Day 1 and Day 8 Q3W during the Chemotherapy-based treatment phase.
CarboplatinDrug
In the event of cisplatin-related nephrotoxicity or at the discretion of the investigator due to cisplatin-related poor tolerability, carboplatin can substitute for cisplatin use from cycle 2 onward. These participants will receive carboplatin via IV on Day 1 Q3W during the Chemotherapy-based treatment phase.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Toripalimab + cisplatin (or carboplatin) + gemcitabine | Experimental | Participants will receive the triple combination of cisplatin, gemcitabine and toripalimab (Chemotherapy-based treatment phase) followed by single-agent toripalimab (Maintenance treatment phase). The use of cisplatin can be substituted with carboplatin from cycle 2 onwards. Receives: Drug: Toripalimab; Drug: Cisplatin; Drug: Gemcitabine; Drug: Carboplatin |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Toripalimab, Cisplatin and Gemcitabine in people with Nasopharyngeal Cancer Recurrent, run by Coherus Oncology, Inc. at 13 sites in 2 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 13 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Clinical Operations Team Clinical Operations (800-794-5434, clinicaltrials@coherus.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Objective Response Rate (ORR) assessed by a Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) Committee according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1 (time frame: Up to 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Jul 2026.
