Recruiting studies
- NCT04448522RecruitingPhase 3
Lower-dose radiotherapy for EBV-responsive nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a reduced amount of radiotherapy can work as well as the standard dose for certain people with stage II–III nasopharyngeal cancer who respond well after initial chemotherapy. It’s designed for patients whose cancer markers improve after 3 chemotherapy cycles, to potentially reduce treatment side effects while keeping cancer control.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05352321Recruiting
Surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation
This trial compares two treatment plans for newly diagnosed, operable nasopharyngeal cancer: adding surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation alone. It aims to see whether the surgery-based plan improves control of the cancer and related outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05877872RecruitingPhase 3
Smaller surgery after chemotherapy for recurring nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether doing a smaller surgery (after chemotherapy works well) can control recurring nasopharyngeal cancer while reducing treatment burden. It is for people whose cancer can be removed by surgery and who respond to an initial course of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy (or another targeted regimen).
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05994170Recruiting
Lower radiation dose to tumor area for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial studies whether lowering the radiation dose to a smaller area around the tumor is safe and effective for people with newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer that has not spread. It may reduce side effects while still curing the cancer.
Zhongshan, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06241599RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
AK104 with chemo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This study tests if adding a new immunotherapy drug (called AK104) to standard chemotherapy can help people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back or spread after previous treatment. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06321939Recruiting
Tracking EBV DNA in Blood for Nasopharyngeal Cancer

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06529562Recruiting
Surgery plus reduced chemo and radiation vs standard for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two approaches for people with early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer that can be removed with surgery. It tests whether giving less intense chemotherapy and radiation after surgery works as well as a standard dose, with fewer side effects.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06533267Recruiting
Endoscopic surgery vs. radiation for early-stage nasal cancer
This trial compares two treatments for stage I nasopharyngeal cancer (a type of nasal cancer). It tests whether a minimally invasive surgery (endoscopic surgery) is as good as or better than radiation therapy. It may be an option for people whose cancer is small and hasn't spread to lymph nodes.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07705243RecruitingPhase 3
Maintenance therapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (becotatug vedotin and an anti-PD1 immunotherapy) as maintenance treatment after initial chemotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread or returned. It's for people whose disease has not progressed after standard first-line treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07661771RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized radiation therapy for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new way to plan radiation treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer, where the target area is tailored to each patient's tumor spread. It aims to improve effectiveness while reducing side effects.
Dongguan, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06688760Recruiting
Surgery vs surgery plus lower-dose radiation for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two treatments for newly diagnosed Stage I nasopharyngeal cancer: surgery alone versus surgery followed by a lower dose of radiation. The goal is to see if adding a gentler radiation dose can prevent the cancer from coming back without too many side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07590024RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized Cancer Treatment Guidance for Nasopharyngeal Cancer
This trial tests whether a special analysis of blood markers and imaging scans can help doctors choose the best combination of chemotherapy and radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes by tailoring treatment to each patient's specific cancer characteristics.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07581821RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus targeted drugs for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (sintilimab, anlotinib, and chemotherapy) for nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this combination helps slow or shrink the cancer.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06657690RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer after immunotherapy
This trial tests a combination of two drugs, irinotecan liposome and S-1, for people with a type of nose and throat cancer that has spread or come back after treatment with immunotherapy (PD-1/L1 inhibitors). The goal is to see if this new combination can help when standard treatments have stopped working.
