Description:
The purpose of this randomized controlled Phase II study is to assess the efficacy of PDR001
versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in patients with advanced NPC.
By blocking the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, PDR001 leads to the
activation of a T cell mediated antitumor immune response

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically documented non-keratinizing locally advanced recurrent or metastatic
NPC.
- Must be resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy (defined as progression on or after
platinum-based chemotherapy given in the recurrent/metastatic setting).
- May have received at least 1 prior therapy for recurrent or metastatic disease, up to
2 prior systemic therapies.
- An archival tumor specimen or newly obtained tumor sample may be submitted at
screening/baseline (a fresh tumor sample is preferred), unless agreed differently
between Novartis and the Investigator.
- At least 1 measurable lesion (as per RECIST v1.1) progressing or new since last
anti-tumor therapy.
- Prior treated brain or meningeal metastases must be without MRI evidence of
progression for at least 8 weeks and off systemic steroids for at least 2 weeks prior
to screening/baseline.
- Patient must be willing to undergo testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) if
not tested within the past 6 months. If HIV+ positive, patient will be eligible if:
his/ her CD4+ count ≥ 300/μL; his/her viral load is undetectable; he/she is currently
receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to other mAbs
- Active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease, except
vitiligo or resolved asthma/atopy that is treated with broncho-dilators.
- Active HBV or HCV infections requiring therapy.
- Prior PD-1- or PD-L1-directed therapy or any therapeutic cancer vaccine.
- Patients receiving systemic treatment with any immunosuppressive medication.
- Use of any vaccines against infectious diseases (e.g. varicella, pneumococcus) within
4 weeks of initiation of study treatment.
Other protocol-define inclusion/exclusion may apply.
