Active clinical trials for "Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma"

This study investigates if head and neck squamous cell carcinoma can be tracked with cell-free tumor DNA, RNA or HPV-DNA, in blood samples from patients referred with suspicion of cancer, and if it can be used in detecting recurrence in patients already diagnosed and treated for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

PET/MR in Locally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

The main purpse of this study is to evaluate the safety of KSD-101 in patients with EBV-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma,to evaluate the initial clinical outcomes and evaluate the immune response to KSD-101 for the treatment in Patients with EBV-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of curative radiotherapy with or without induction chemotherapy in patients with T3N1M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Whether induction chemotherapy confers a survival benefit in patients with T3N1M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma with high risks factors. Whether induction chemotherapy worsens adverse effects in patients with T3N1M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Participants in experimental group will receive 3 cycles induction chemotherapy (GP or TPF) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy.Participants in control group will receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy only. Researchers will compare FFS, OS and AE or SAE to see if patients can benefit from induction chemotherapy or screen out high-risk factors associated with survival benefits.

This is a prospective platform study that will investigate the outcomes of patients with locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC) or recurrent-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (RM-NPC) who are assigned to treatment arms of different chemotherapy sequencing and intensity based on their pre- and on-treatment plasma EBV DNA results.

Based on the application prospect of rmh-TNF combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of solid tumors. In this study, cisplatin combined with low dose 5-FU was proposed to enhance the immune function of 5-FU. Tianenfu is a novel recombinant modified human tumor necrosis with high activity and low toxicity. The fact that RMH-TNF has the potential of better in vivo efficacy and clinical antitumor effect. Therefore, the study was designed to investigate the treatment of concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with TNF versus concurrent chemoradiotherapy combined with placebo for the efficacy and safety of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The primary objective of this study, sponsored by Travera Inc. in Massachusetts, is to validate whether the mass response biomarker has potential to predict response of patients to specific therapies or therapeutic combinations using isolated tumor cells from various specimen formats including malignant fluids such as pleural effusions and ascites, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspirates, or resections.

Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of BRG01 in subjects with relapsed/ metastatic EBV-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). BRG01 is a Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell therapy targetting on the specific protein of EBV, which is expressed on the EBV associated cancer cells. This study adopts the traditional "3+3" dose escalation design. Approximately12~18 EBV+ NPC subjects will be enrolled to evaluate the safety of BRG01. An internal safety review team (SRT) will review the safety data and make recommendations on further study conduct and progression to subsequential cohorts. Subjects will be enrolled into 3 cohorts of different doses, designated as cohort A, B and C.Cohort A: 3.0x10^6 CAR-T cells/kg,3 subjects, Cohort B: 9.0x10^6 CAR-T cells/kg,3 subjects, and Cohort C:1.5x10^7 CAR-T cells /kg, 6 subjects,respectively. Subjects in each cohort will follow the same treatment schedule and procedural requirements.

At present, the treatment regimen of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma still needs to be further improved, and the focus of improvement lies in "replacing cisplatin with high-efficiency and low-toxicity treatment regimen". Considering the synergistic effect among radiotherapy, immunotherapy and anti-angiogenesis therapy, we chose PD-1 inhibitor combined with bevacizumab to replace cisplatin chemotherapy.

This phase II trial tests how well nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy drugs along with radiation therapy works in treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine and cisplatin, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, adding nivolumab to chemotherapy has on patients with newly diagnosed NPC. In addition, they want to find out if children with NPC may be treated with less radiation therapy and whether this decreases the side effects of therapy.
