Active clinical trials for "Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma"

The investigators aim to evaluate the efficiency and toxicities of concurrent docetaxel and cisplatin with intensity-modulated radiotherapy in high risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

This is a Phase II trial to study the effectiveness and security of cisplatin concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus TIL versus cisplatin concurrent chemoradiotherapy only with IMRT in treating patients with locoregionally advanced high risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

This is a phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of single-agent icotinib in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The study is designed to compare Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) in combination with concurrent chemotherapy and IMRT alone in treatment of stage II nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of re-irradiation using carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) with the fraction size of 3 gray equivalent (GyE) 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 MTD in terms of acute and subacute 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.

Comparing induction chemotherapy followed by cisplatin chrono-chemotherapy concurrent combined with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (chrono-chemotherapy group) with induction chemotherapy followed by cisplatin routine-chemotherapy concurrent combined with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (routine-chemotherapy group) in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, observing the adverse reaction and effects of two groups,expected chrono-chemotherapy group can achieve lower toxicity, improve the curative effect, for the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma provides a more reasonable way.

The study try to show the weekly cisplatin based CCRT is not inferior to 3-weekly cisplabe based CCRT in terms of 3-yr progression free survival rate in advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Background: T cell based adoptive immunotherapy including CTL and TIL may stimulated the immune system and stop cancer cells from growing. Objective: Phase I clinical trial to investigate the toxicity and immune response of therapy with autologous tumor infiltrating lymphocytes as adjuvant treatment for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma after primary operation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Methodology: Phase I clinical trial in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer and other solid cancers. The investigators isolated lymphocytes from fresh tumor tissues, activated and expanded TILs in vitro; and infused the enough number (10e9 to 10e10) of TIL back patients.

Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessel from existing vessels, is essential for tumor growth and metastasis. Antiangiogenic therapies inhibit the growth of genetically stable endothelial cells, and most tumors should starve to death with little acquired resistance. Endostatin has been shown to block endothelial cell proliferation, survival, and migration. Antitumor activity of endostatin protein has been demonstrated in various murine and human tumors in animal model studies without any detectable toxicity. Endostatin gene therapy could directly express the highly bioactive protein in vivo by means of the mechanism of eukaryotic expression system as post-translational modification and folding, as well as overcoming the challenge of the long-term storage and the cumbersome daily administration of endostatin protein. E10A is a replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus containing a wild-type human endostatin transgene constructed from serotype 5 adenovirus (Ad5). Preclinical studies demonstrated that intratumoral injection of E10A provided significant tumor growth inhibition and sustained elevation of endostatin in blood and tumor tissue in hepatocellular carcinoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and tongue cancer animal models. A Phase I clinical trial of E10A we conducted showed that repetitive intratumoral injection of E10A resulted in a small and sustained elevation of endostatin in blood and had a mild antitumor activities with very limited toxicity. The major toxicity was transient and manageable fever. A randomized Phase III trial in nonsmall-cell lung cancer showed endostatin improved response rate and time to tumor progression in combination to chemotherapy. Therefore, we designed a randomized phase II trial to explore the safety and effectiveness of E10A combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer.

This is a randomized Phase III study to evaluate efficancy of weekly cisplatin or nedaplatin concurrent with Intensity-modulated radiation therapy in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC).
