Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (female ≥18) with histologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who have not received prior systemic therapy for recurrent/metastatic disease and have measurable disease.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose disease does not respond to SYS6010/Enlonstobart or who are less likely to respond to immunotherapy-based regimens may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a multicenter, randomized phase 3 study comparing SYS6010 plus Enlonstobart against Tislelizumab with gemcitabine and cisplatin in adults with previously systemic treatment-naive recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma. About 424 eligible participants will be enrolled and followed for outcomes, safety, and survival. Treatments continue until progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal, or sponsor termination, with survival follow-up every 3 months after treatment discontinuation. Eligibility requires histologically confirmed disease, measurable lesions, and tissue availability for EGFR and PD-L1 testing, among other criteria.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience improved disease control and survival compared with the current standard approach evaluated in the trial.
How similar studies have gone: Previous trials in nasopharyngeal carcinoma have explored targeted and immunotherapy combinations with mixed results; this study tests a novel pairing and direct comparison to a standard immunochemotherapy regimen.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Female participants aged ≥ 18 years (as of the date of signed informed consent).
2. Histologically confirmed recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, with no prior systemic therapy for recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
3. For recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma: the disease is currently not eligible for local or curative-intent treatment, and the interval from completion of adjuvant/neoadjuvant therapy or concurrent chemoradiotherapy to disease recurrence must be more than 6 months. Metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma is defined as stage IV per AJCC 9.0 staging system.
4. Willing to provide tumor tissue samples for testing of EGFR protein and PD-L1 expression. If sample collection is not feasible for certain reasons, eligibility will be determined by joint assessment of the investigator and sponsor
5. At least one measurable lesion confirmed by CT or MRI per RECIST v1.1. The lesion has not received prior radiotherapy, or has demonstrated clear progression after prior radiotherapy.
6. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1
7. Expected survival of the participant is ≥ 3 months.
8. Major organ function must meet the following criteria within 7 days prior to enrollment:
1. Complete blood count (no whole blood, red blood cell, or platelet transfusion, and no administration of hematopoietic growth factors \[G-CSF or GM-CSF\], erythropoietin \[EPO\], or thrombopoietin \[TPO\] to correct blood cell counts within 14 days before sampling):i. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10\^9/L;Platelet count (PLT) ≥ 100 × 10\^9/L;Hemoglobin (HGB) ≥ 90 g/L.
2. Blood biochemistry: Serum creatinine: Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.; Serum total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (participants with Gilbert's syndrome may be allowed up to 3 × ULN);Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN (≤ 5.0 × ULN for participants with liver metastasis).
3\) Coagulation function: i. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (for participants not receiving anticoagulation therapy).
9. Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose. Participants must agree to use effective contraception from the time of signing the ICF until 7 months after the last study treatment dose (14 months after the last dose of cisplatin for female participants, and 11 months for male participants). Female participants shall not be breastfeeding during this period, and male participants must refrain from sperm donation
10. Provides voluntary written informed consent after adequate understanding of the clinical trial.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients with leptomeningeal metastasis, brainstem metastasis, spinal cord metastasis and/or compression, or active CNS metastasis. Patients with supratentorial and/or cerebellar metastases (i.e., no midbrain, pons, or medulla oblongata involvement) may be enrolled if they have received local therapy, have achieved disease stability at least 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention (no new brain metastases or enlargement of pre-existing brain metastatic lesions on imaging, all neurologic symptoms stabilized or returned to normal), and require no glucocorticoid treatment or receive prednisone at a daily dose ≤10 mg or equivalent doses of other glucocorticoids.

8. Prior history of ILD / non-infectious pneumonitis requiring glucocorticoid treatment, current ILD / non-infectious pneumonitis, or ILD / non-infectious pneumonitis cannot be ruled out on screening imaging, or severe ventilatory dysfunction and/or impaired diffusion shown on pulmonary function test.

Participants with the following conditions may proceed for screening: well-controlled type 1 diabetes, well-controlled hypothyroidism requiring only hormone replacement therapy, skin disorders that do not require systemic treatment (such as vitiligo, psoriasis or alopecia), or participants whose disease is not expected to relapse in the absence of external triggers.
12. Pleural, peritoneal or pericardial effusion requiring clinical intervention within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.
13. Active HBV or HCV infection (HBsAg positive with HBV-DNA ≥1×10⁴ copies/mL, or positive HCV antibody with HCV-RNA above the assay lower limit of detection), or HIV infection / diagnosed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Note: For HBsAg-positive subjects, antiviral therapy with nucleoside analogues such as entecavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate is recommended to be initiated before the first dose of study intervention.
