Active clinical trials for "Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma"

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the addition of the immune checkpoint inhibitor Nivolumab to induction chemotherapy will increase the percentage of patients with a complete response on MRI and PET after 3 cycles of induction therapy.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma#NPC#is common malignant tumor in China. The incidence of NPC in most parts of the world and the country is less than 1/10 million, but the incidence rate in China's Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and other southern provinces is as high as 33/10 million. Generally, there are more men than women, with a ratio of 2 ~ 3:1. In high incidence area, nasopharyngeal carcinoma has great harm to middle-aged and young people, and incidence rate and mortality rate increase significantly after 30 years old. 50~60 years old is the highest peak. More than 70% of patients were in advanced stage at the first diagnosis. At present, the main treatment for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma is platinum based neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy. However, recurrence and distant metastasis after standard treatment are the main causes of failure. About 40% of patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma have recurrence and distant metastasis after receiving standard treatment. Therefore, the investigators intend to further explore the improvement of local control and survival rate of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

To evaluate the long-term local control, survival rate, acute and late radiation related toxicities, quality of life after reducing high risk primary tumor clinical target volumes (CTVp1) in non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with IMRT.

Incidences of de novo metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma range from 6% to 8% at the time of presentation. For the initial diagnosis of metastatic NPC, PD-1 plus chemotherapy yields a satisfactory outcome with1year PFS of 40%. Previous study demonstrated the benefit of adding radiotherapy to chemotherapy in metastatic NPC, however there is no evidence whether radiotherapy can further improve PFS based on chemotherapy plus PD-1 . The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of first-line immunochemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for initial diagnosed metastatic NPC.

The primary purpose of this study is to compare balloon Eustachian tuboplasty (BET) combined with tympanostomy tube insertion and simply tympanostomy tube insertion in the treatment of otitis media with effusion (OME) in post-radiotherapy patients on the improvement of subjective symptoms (ear fullness, etc.) and the tympanogram. The secondary purpose is to clarify the effects of BET on the incidence of middle ear infection and slippage of ventilation tube during tube retention, as well as to determine the difference of hearing improvement between the two management methods.

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multi-Center Phase II Clinical Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of HLX07 (Recombinant Anti-EGFR Humanized Monoclonal Antibody Injection) + Serplulimab (HLX10, Recombinant Anti-PD-1 Humanized Monoclonal Antibody) +Chemotherapy Versus Placebo + Serplulimab + Chemotherapy in First-Line Treatment of Patients with Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC)

Through a prospective clinical trial, we intend to combine surgery, induction chemotherapy, target-reduction intensity-modulated radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy as an experimental treatment for patients with newly diagnosed resectable nasopharyngeal carcinoma to illuminate whether combined surgery could bring patients better local-regional control and lower adverse reactions.

This is a randomized,controlled,prospective phase III clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate acute toxicity and efficacy of concurrent cisplatin chemoradiation with or without capecitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy in Local Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma at High Risk of Distant Metastasis.Exploring an Individualized comprehensive treatment plan which is reasonable,effective,low toxicity and fitting with Modern radiotherapy techniques for Local Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma at High Risk of Distant Metastasis.

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that a combined Immuno-Oncology (IO) strategy would see efficacy in a virally driven cancer like Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC). Hence, this is a combination study of nivolumab and ipilimumab in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) driven nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether concurrent chemotherapy and IMRT is effective in the treatment of locally stage T3/T4 recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients compared with IMRT alone.
