Recruiting studies
- NCT05514275RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus endostatin and capecitabine for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding endostatin and capecitabine to standard radiation can improve outcomes for people with non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal cancer that has not responded well to chemotherapy. It may help those with stable or worsening disease after treatment before moving to radiation.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT07618078Recruiting
Personalized Cancer Risk Assessment for Nasopharyngeal Cancer
This study helps doctors predict which patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (a cancer of the upper throat) will benefit most from additional chemotherapy after radiation treatment. It uses a special blood test and imaging to create a personalized risk score for each patient.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07412314Recruiting
Proton Therapy for Recurrent Nasopharyngeal Cancer
This trial uses proton therapy (a precise type of radiation) to treat people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the cancer while limiting side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07277764RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation and immunotherapy for returning nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of high and low dose radiation plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back after previous treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can be more effective while reducing side effects.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–75 - NCT06093061RecruitingPhase 2
Maintenance therapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—tislelizumab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system fight cancer) and capecitabine (a chemo pill taken daily)—as maintenance therapy after initial chemotherapy for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can lower the chance of cancer coming back.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT06182657Recruiting
Nasopharyngeal cancer response to induction chemotherapy
This study looks at how well nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) responds to the first round of chemotherapy before other treatments. It aims to see if the amount of tumor shrinkage can help predict outcomes and guide future care for people with advanced NPC.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06167109Recruiting
NBI and MRI to guide radiation planning for one-sided nose cancer
This trial tests whether combining a special scope (NBI) with MRI scans can help doctors better target radiation therapy for a specific type of nose/throat cancer that affects only one side. It aims to make treatment more precise and reduce side effects.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06321939Recruiting
Tracking EBV DNA in Blood for Nasopharyngeal Cancer
This trial studies whether tracking levels of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in your blood can help guide treatment for non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. You would get standard radiation and maybe chemotherapy, with extra blood tests to see how the virus levels change.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - NCT06788002RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose radiation and chemoimmunotherapy for NPC with liver spread
This trial tests a combination of low-dose radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread to the liver. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Changsha, HunanAges 18–70 - NCT05733091Recruiting
Study of symptoms and function after certain head and neck cancers
This study looks at how symptoms and everyday functioning change for people with cancers of the nose/sinuses, the throat behind the nose (nasopharynx), or nearby skull-base areas. It may help doctors understand what survivors experience and improve long-term care.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06059261RecruitingPhase 2
Envafolimab plus chemoradiation and endostatin for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of a new immunotherapy (envafolimab) with standard chemoradiation and a drug that blocks blood vessel growth (endostatin) for people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that hasn't been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the usual treatment.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT05517135Recruiting
Personalized treatment for EBV-positive nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a “choose the best treatment” approach for people with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) that is linked to EBV (a common virus). By matching treatment to your EBV and cancer features, the study aims to improve outcomes while tracking safety.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT04437329RecruitingPhase 3
Nedaplatin vs cisplatin for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy drugs—nedaplatin versus cisplatin—in people newly diagnosed with a specific type of nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see which drug works better and/or has a safer side-effect profile when given as part of standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT07072143Recruiting
Study on children with rare tumors
This study is looking at children and teens with very rare tumors to learn more about these conditions and improve future care. It aims to gather information from patients treated at participating centers.
Padova, ItalyAges birth–18 years - NCT06852638RecruitingPhase 2
PET imaging for kidney cancer, lymphoma, and NPC
This study tests a new way to detect tumors by using a special injection that makes cancer cells visible on a PET scan. It may help people with renal cancer (especially clear cell type), lymphoma, or nasopharyngeal cancer.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT06752239RecruitingPhase 3
Optimizing radiation to protect thyroid in nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a way to adjust radiation therapy to better protect the thyroid gland during treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It aims to reduce thyroid damage while still effectively treating the cancer.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–70 - NCT05910827RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of a HER3 antibody with cetuximab and possibly docetaxel
This Phase 1/2 trial tests whether an antibody that targets HER3 (with cetuximab, and possibly docetaxel) can help treat advanced squamous cell cancers that have already been treated or cannot use standard options. It mainly looks at safety first, and also whether the treatment can shrink tumors.
Sydney, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07178301RecruitingPhase 2
Lower radiation dose for HPV-related throat cancer
This trial tests whether a lower dose of radiation to the neck is safe and effective for people with HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. It may reduce side effects while still treating the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06064097RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab plus chemo for young people with nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests combining the immunotherapy drug nivolumab with standard chemotherapy to treat newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer in children and young adults. The goal is to see if adding this immune-boosting medicine can help shrink tumors and prevent the cancer from coming back.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nasopharyngeal cancer?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting nasopharyngeal cancer studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a nasopharyngeal cancer trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a nasopharyngeal cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
