EBV Lytic Reactivation Therapy Combined With PD-1 Antibody in Recurrent/Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Sponsor: Sun Yat-sen University
Summary
Nearly all undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) are associated with the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), which typically remains in a latent, non-immunogenic state within tumor cells. By combining EBV lytic induction strategy with standard chemo-immunotherapy, this study aims to create a synergistic anti-tumor effect and improve clinical outcomes for patients with recurrent/metastatic NPC (r/m NPC). This is a phase II, single-center, single-arm clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel combination therapy in patients with r/m EBV-positive NPC.

Interventions
Valganciclovir Hydrochloride Tablets
Valganciclovir hydrochloride tablets will be administered at 900 mg twice daily from day 1 to day 14, followed by 450 mg twice daily from day 15 to day 20, for a total of 3 cycles.
gemcitabine, cisplatin, and PD-1 antibody
Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m² will be administered intravenously on days 1 and 8; cisplatin 80 mg/m² intravenously on day 1; and PD-1 antibody intravenously on day 1. Each cycle is 21 days in duration, and treatment will be administered for a total of 4 to 6 cycles. Following completion of the 4 to 6 cycles, patients will continue PD-1 antibody maintenance therapy (every 3 weeks) for up to two years or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, initiation of a new anticancer therapy, withdrawal of informed consent, or death.
