Active clinical trials for "Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma"

The gross tumor volumes of the primary site and the neck nodes (GTVnx and GTVnd) could be delineated according to the post-NACT tumor position and receive radical radiation dose, while the tumor disappear after NACT could be encompassed in the first clinical target volume (CTV1) and receive high preventive radiation dose. Through this method,it is more likely to achieve the ultimate goal that maximize the chance of cure while minimize the injury of surrounding normal tissues, maintaining organ function and life quality. Therefore, this stage II clinical trial was designed to study the prognosis and locoregional failure patterns of this target volume delineation method in LA-NPC treated with NACT plus CCRT.

This clinical research aims to explore potential biomarkers and validate molecular signatures' predictive and prognostic value in stage IVa nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

This is an observational cohort study aimed to explore the fertility concerns, fertility preservation strategies, fertility status (pregnancy and Ovarian Failure) and birth outcome among young woman Nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.

This pilot randomized clinical trial studies how well bupropion hydrochloride works compared with patient's choice for quitting smoking in patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy. Bupropion hydrochloride may help patients quit smoking by enhancing central nervous system neurotransmitters noradrenergic and dopaminergic release. It is not yet known whether bupropion hydrochloride is more effective than patient's choice in helping quit smoking in patients with squamous cell head and neck cancer undergoing radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy.

This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and effect on quality of life of oral capecitabine in combination with intravenous (IV) cisplatin in participants with metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. Participants will receive up to 8 cycles of capecitabine treatment, and cisplatin will be administered on the first day of each cycle. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 24 weeks, and the target sample size is 44 individuals.

There is no standard third-line systemic treatment for inoperable locoregionally advanced recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We investigated the efficacy and safety of metronomic oral cyclophosphamide as third-line treatment or beyond.

To evaluate the activity and safety of MK-2206 in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cetuximab when given together with everolimus in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent colon cancer or head and neck cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of the tumor to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving cetuximab together with everolimus may be an effective treatment for colon cancer or head and neck cancer

This is an randomized controlled, multicenter 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 high risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib hydrochloride when given together with cetuximab and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancer, head and neck cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or colorectal cancer. Erlotinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Erlotinib hydrochloride and cetuximab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving erlotinib hydrochloride together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells.
