Inclusion criteria
. The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written consent for the trial.
. Participant is at least 21 years of age on the day of signing informed consent
. Has a locally or centrally determined histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma Note: The EBV status is to be determined by the EBV-encoded small RNA in situ hybridization (EBER in situ hybridization \[ISH\]) assay. If EBV-positive status has been previously determined by EBER ISH assay, then no re-testing is required. If EBV status by EBER ISH assay has not been previously determined, tumour tissue from archival tissue may be submitted for EBV determination.
. Has recurrent or metastatic (R/M) disease not amenable to curative local therapy (surgery or radiation)
. Must have seen at least 1 prior line of systemic treatment and has progressed on prior platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD1 therapy in the R/M setting OR Progressed within 6 months of previous multimodal therapy containing platinum-based chemotherapy and anti-PD1 therapy in the locally advanced setting.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

. Has an adequate organ function as defined in the following table (table 1). Specimens must be collected within 10 days prior to the start of study treatment
Exclusion criteria
