Active clinical trials for "Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma"

This is an randomized, controlled, phase 3 clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether medial group retropharyngeal node （MRLN） sparing could reduce the incidence of radiation-caused dysphagia and improve patients' quality of life without compromising survival rate.

This is an randomized, controlled, multicenter phase 3 clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of single-agent capecitabine as adjuvant chemotherapy in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

This is a Phase II Randomized Trial to Compare Paclitaxel combined with DDP Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy With DDP Plus Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy in Patients With Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

This is a Phase 3, Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Tislelizumab (BGB-A317) Combined With Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin Versus Placebo Combined With Gemcitabine Plus Cisplatin as First Line Treatment for Recurrent or Metastatic Nasopharyngeal Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intensity-modulated radiation therapy combined with toripalimab in patients with the unresectable locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

This is a prospective phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apatinib and camrelizumab in recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who failed at least the first-line treatment.

This is an open-label, single center, pilot trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of toripalimab and gemcitabine in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors has been recommended as the first-line treatment for recurrent/metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (R/M NPC), but progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was still unsatisfactory. Basic studies have already confirmed PD-1 inhibitors had concurrent synergistic effect with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Few studies concerned about the treatment pattern for concurrent PD-1 inhibitors combination with chemoradiation for R/M NPC. There was still much uncertainties about the timing, fraction dose and total dose for PD-1 inhibitors combination with radiation. Therefore, we aimed to explore the substantial effect and toxicity of this new pattern for R/M NPC.

The purpose of this study is to verify that induction gemcitabine and cisplatin plus intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is non-inferior to concurrent weekly cisplatin plus IMRT for patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

There are two study questions we are asking in this randomized phase II/III trial based on a blood biomarker, Epstein Barr virus (EBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for locoregionally advanced non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. All patients will first undergo standard concurrent chemotherapy and radiation therapy. When this standard treatment is completed, if there is no detectable EBV DNA in their plasma, then patients are randomized to either standard adjuvant cisplatin and fluorouracil chemotherapy or observation. If there is still detectable levels of plasma EBV DNA, patients will be randomized to standard cisplatin and fluorouracil chemotherapy versus gemcitabine and paclitaxel. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, fluorouracil, gemcitabine hydrochloride, and paclitaxel work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving cisplatin and fluorouracil is more effective than gemcitabine hydrochloride and paclitaxel after radiation therapy in treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer.
