Chengdu, ChinaAges 18–65 - NCT06277050RecruitingPhase 3
Toripalimab and capecitabine after chemo-radiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug toripalimab to the chemotherapy pill capecitabine after standard treatment helps prevent nasopharyngeal cancer from coming back. It is for people with high-risk features who have already had chemo and radiation.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18–70 - NCT06763640Enrolling by invitation
TILs as a predictor in nasopharyngeal cancer
This study looks at how immune cells called TILs (tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes) in your tumor tissue might predict outcomes for nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help doctors better understand your cancer and guide future treatment decisions.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–70 - NCT07559877RecruitingPhase 3
Chlorhexidine spray to prevent radiation skin damage in throat cancer
This study tests whether a chlorhexidine spray (an antiseptic liquid) can prevent or reduce skin damage caused by radiation therapy in people being treated for nasopharyngeal cancer (cancer in the back of the nose/throat). Radiation dermatitis—painful redness and irritation of the skin—is a common side effect, and this spray may help protect your skin during treatment.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT06095154RecruitingPhase 3
Simplifying radiation planning for nasopharyngeal cancer
This study tests a simpler way to plan radiation for a type of throat cancer called nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It uses a standard method to outline the area needing treatment, which may make planning faster and more consistent.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - NCT07392320RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy or chemo pills after chemoradiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two options—a type of immunotherapy or a chemotherapy pill (capecitabine)—as maintenance treatment after standard chemoradiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see which helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06479811RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drug for advanced neuroendocrine and other cancers
This trial tests a new radioactive drug, [212Pb]VMT-Alpha-NET, that targets a protein on certain cancer cells. It is for people with specific types of advanced cancers that have gotten worse and are not responding to standard treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05652192RecruitingPhase 2
SBRT radiation plus chemotherapy and immunotherapy for metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation (SBRT) to chemotherapy and an immunotherapy drug can help people with metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer live longer and control tumors. It may help by combining local tumor treatment with whole-body immune support.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07325539RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy with chemo for nose and throat cancer
This trial tests combining low-dose radiation with an immunotherapy drug (toripalimab) and chemotherapy for people whose nose and throat cancer has come back or spread. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatments.
