Active clinical trials for "Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma"

Radiation induced oral mucositis which may result in reduced quality of life is commonly seen during radiotherapy, especially combined with chemotherapy. This study is a prospective, multicenter, and exploratory study. The aim of this study is to explore predictive factors of acute radiotherapy induced oral mucositis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with radio-chemotherapy and reduce incidence of oral mucositis by using recombinant human interleukin -11.

This study aims to investigate the use of 18F-FMISO PET in identifying hypoxic subvolume for dose escalation radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal cancer and thus improve local control without significant increase in toxicities.

This is a prospective phase II clinical randomized controlled study, the purpose of this study is to assess whether superficial parotid lobe-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SPLS-IMRT) can decrease the incidence of xerostomia versus conventional IMRT (C-IMRT) in NPC patients.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the response rate, tolerance and overall survival in patients with stage III, IVa, IVb NPC treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (TPF regimen) and concurrent chemoradiation. Secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the distant metastases free survival, and disease-free survival of patients with stage III,IVa, IVb NPC treated with this regimen. The third objective of this study is to evaluate who may benifit from this treatment regimen.

This is a randomized parallel control trial to evaluate whether radical loco-regional Radiotherapy can prolong survival time of initial untreated metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Concurrent Chemotherapy for Elderly Patients With Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

The primary objective of this study is to determine the tolerance and overall survival in patients with stage Ⅲ NPC treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and concurrent chemoradiation. Secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the distant metastases free survival, and disease-free survival of patients with stage Ⅲ treated with this regimen.

This study evaluates the hyperfractionated IMRT in the treatment of patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Half of participants will receive hyperfractionated IMRT, while the other half will receive conventional fraction IMRT.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of different neoadjuvant chemotherapy schedules of cisplatin and 5-FU on acute toxicity, tumor response, and long-term survival in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma

To test the therapeutic ratio of additional chemotheray on advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
