Inclusion Criteria:

1. The subject will participate voluntarily and sign the informed consent form.
2. Age ≥ 18 years when signing the informed consent form, male or female.
3. The Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group (ECOG) physical status score was 0 or 1.
4. Expected survival ≥ 3 months.
5. Patients with pathologically confirmed nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
6.

7. Patients have at least one imaging measurable lesion according to RECISTv1.1 evaluation criteria; for lesions that have received prior radiotherapy or other local treatment there must be evidence of definite progression of the lesion after the end of local treatment in order to be selected as a measurable lesion.
8. Adequate organ function prior to first use of the experimental drug (no blood components, leukocyte-raising drugs, or platelet-raising drugs are allowed within 7 days prior to obtaining laboratory tests)

   1. Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 x 109/L.
   2. Platelet count ≥ 100×109/L.
   3. Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L.
   4. Serum albumin ≥ 28 g/L.
9. Subjects (both female and male) agree to use effective contraception from the time they sign the informed consent until 180 days after the last use of the trial drug. Women who are not pregnant or breastfeeding from the time they sign informed consent until 180 days after the last use of the trial drug.

Exclusion Criteria:

2. Prior systemic anticancer treatment with approved drugs or trial drugs.
3. End date of palliative radiotherapy targeting bone metastases or soft tissue, etc. ≤ 7 days from imaging of baseline tumor lesions
4. Presence of carcinomatous meningitis prior to first study treatment
5. Active autoimmune disease present within 2 years prior to the first administration of the investigational drug and requiring systemic systemic therapy. Subjects with relevant alternative therapy who are stable are allowed to be included.
6. Disease requiring systemic treatment with corticosteroids (\>10 mg daily prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive drugs present within 2 weeks prior to first study treatment.
7. At the investigator's discretion, have a serious concomitant condition that jeopardizes patient safety, or interferes with patient completion of the study, such as hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg) not controlled by two or more antihypertensive medications, or severe diabetes mellitus.
