Active clinical trials for "Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma"

The transformation process of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is complex, so it is particularly important to explore the relationship between various disease states on its clinical pathway. Therefore, we carried out this study to explore the changes of plasma and urine metabolites at different stages during the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Due to the occult anatomic location of the nasopharynx and frequent presence of adenoid hyperplasia, the positive rate for nasopharyngeal carcinoma identification during biopsy is low, thus leading to delayed or missed diagnosis for nasopharyngeal carcinoma upon initial attempt. Here, we aimed to develop an artificial intelligence tool to detect nasopharyngeal malignancies and guide biopsy under endoscopic examination based on deep learning.

Plasma Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA will be measured in native plasma samples of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients, respectively, by three medical centers and a qualified laboratory in Southern China, the highest endemic area of NPC. Passing-Bablok regression and difference plots will be used to compare results from each center to the all-method median and mean values. Agreement among methods will be evaluated against bias derived from a biological variation.

In nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), tumor, node and metastasis (TNM) staging system is the main tool for determining treatment strategy and assessment of prognosis. However, the prognoses of patients with the same TNM stage after similar treatment vary widely. The aim of this study is to establish an immune score based radiomic staging system for NPC.

This is an observational cohort study aimed to explore the changes of olfactory function at multiple time points from baseline to 1 year after radiotherapy among the local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

All participants will be tested for EBV-related biomarkers, including EBNA1-IgA, VCA-IgA, and BNLF2b total antibody (P85-Ab), and participants with high serologic risk will be selected based on serologic test results, and dual-energy CT will be performed first for high-risk screening subjects, and dual-energy CT will be performed first for the high-risk group to record dual-energy CT examinations of those suspected of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and then endoscopy was performed on the high-risk group to record those suspected of nasopharyngeal carcinoma under endoscopy, and finally biopsies were taken for positive lesion sites indicated by dual-energy CT and suspicious lesion sites found by endoscopy to clarify the diagnosis.

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the effectiveness and adverse reactions of doxepin solution spray for alleviation of stubborn breakthrough pain induced by swallowing in patients receiving radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of immunonutrion compared with standard nutrition in reducing oral mucositis in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, and determine the maximum tolerated dose of INCB062079 in subjects with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma and other malignancies.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of re-irradiation using carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) in the treatment of locally recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) and to evaluate the efficacy of such treatment at the MTD. Participants will be treated with CIRT with escalating dose regimens to evaluate the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) in terms of acute and subactue toxicity observed during and within 4 months after the completion of CIRT. Once the MTD for locally recurrent NPC is determined, the MTD will be used as the recommended dose to patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria in the Phase II part of the trial.
