Active clinical trials for "Nasopharyngeal Neoplasms"

The aim of this study is the safety and efficacy of high-activity natural killer immunotherapy to small metastases of nasopharyngeal cancer.

This is a prospective, single center, multispecialty study that aimed to evaluate the clinical feasibility and safety of single port surgery and NOTES (mainly transanal and transoral surgery) using a novel single port robotic system.

The study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Apatinib as maintenace therapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma With Metastasis after Chemoradiotherapy, including progress free survival(PFS)、overall survival (OS)、Quality of life score (QoL) and evaluation of drug safety.

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of sirolimus on the progression of intestinal adenomas in patients with FAP and to assess the safety of this treatment.

The hypothesis of the study is to address the efficacy and toxicity profile of aforementioned four modalities for rT1-2 NPC. Characters of the patients: list item one: 168 patients, median age 48 years (range 16-75 years） proven rT1-2 NPC were diagnosed list item two: Treated with four different irradiation modalities(3D-CRT,IMRT, BT , BT Combined 3D-CRT or IMRT). list item three: Median time to recurrence was 30 months (range 1-180months). The median follow-up time was 28 months (range, 4-135 months).

This study is designed to investigate the treatment efficacy of 8 weeks swallowing exercise programs for patients with NPC after radiation therapy. This study also compares two different swallowing exercise: effortful swallow and Mendelsohn's maneuver, to see which one can bring more benefits to patients after a certain period of exercise training. Three assessment tools are selected to evaluate the study result: Mann Assessment of Swallowing Ability (MASA), videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), and Chinese version Swallowing Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (CSWAL-QOL). The hypothesis of this study is that the effortful swallowing exercise would have better treatment efficacy.

This pilot study is a double-blinded, randomized controlled, two-centre trial in which subjects will receive 4 to 8 (subcutaneous administered) doses of medication (Omalizumab or placebo) (dose and dosing interval calculated on body weight and baseline total serum IgE). During the treatment period and follow-up, the clinical efficacy of the treatment will be assessed by evaluation of symptoms, Quality of Life questionnaire, morning Peak Expiratory Flow measurement, smell test, nasal endoscopy, CT-scan, peak nasal inspiratory flow and spirometry. Biological activity will be evaluated by measuring peripheral and local (in serum, in nasal secretions, biopsies) markers of inflammation. Study hypothesis Evaluation of the efficacy and safety of anti-IgE (Omalizumab) in patients with nasal polyposis and comorbid asthma. Exploration of anti-IgE effects on local and systemic metabolism of IgE in nasal polyposis Clinical assessment of the IgE theory in the pathogenesis of nasal polyps

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of addition of zometa to anti-neoplastic treatment compared with anti-neoplastic treatment alone, as measured by the primary efficacy variable of SREs (Skeletal Related Events) and to assess the safety in nasopharyngeal patients with bone metastases randomized to receive either zometa 4 mg or anti-neoplastic treatment alone.

Cisplatin or Carboplatin will be given on day 1 every 21 days for 6 cycles; Gemcitabine will be given on day 1 and day 8 every 21 days for 6 cycles. Those patients that do not progress on GC after 6 cycles of chemotherapy will be started on erlotinib daily until disease progression. A cycle of erlotinib will be 28 days. Patients who progress on GC will be offered erlotinib as well,in order to evaluate its activity as a single-agent in the second-line setting. Patients previously treated with GC have reported a progression-free survival (PFS) of 9 months. We would anticipate an extension of PFS to 12 months in patients treated with GC followed by maintenance erlotinib. Furthermore, we hypothesize that patients who achieved benefit from GC therapy would have further response when treated with maintenance erlotinib, such that this strategy may increase the likelihood of attaining long-term survival.

To test whether celecoxib can be used to prevent colon polyp formation in children with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).
