Résumé

No standard treatment exists for platinum-refractory, recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). This phase II study (NCT02605967) evaluated progression-free survival (PFS) of spartalizumab, an antiprogrammed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody, versus chemotherapy, in NPC. Patients with nonkeratinizing recurrent/metastatic NPC who progressed on/after platinum-based chemotherapy were enrolled. Spartalizumab was dosed 400 mg once every 4 weeks, and chemotherapy was received per investigator's choice. Patients were randomized to receive either spartalizumab (82 patients) or chemotherapy (40 patients). The most common spartalizumab treatment-related adverse events were fatigue (10.3%) and pruritus (9.3%). Median PFS in the spartalizumab arm was 1.9 months versus 6.6 months in the chemotherapy arm ( Spartalizumab demonstrated a safety profile consistent with other anti-PD-1 antibodies. The primary endpoint of median PFS was not met; however, median overall survival and median duration of response were longer with spartalizumab compared with chemotherapy.
