Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT07528183RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy after chemo and radiation for recurrent nose cancer
This trial tests whether maintenance immunotherapy (PD-1 inhibitor) followed by delayed salvage radiation therapy can help keep your cancer under control after you have already responded to initial chemo-immunotherapy. It is for people with recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has come back in the nose or neck area, but has not spread to distant organs.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT06912698RecruitingPhase 3
Lower vs. standard radiation for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares a lower dose of radiation to the standard dose for people with early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see if a lower dose is just as effective while reducing side effects.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07706985RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy drugs for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has not spread to distant parts of the body. The goal is to see if this approach works better than standard treatment.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT03353467Recruiting
Surgery through the nose for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive surgery done through the nose can help people newly diagnosed with early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer. It looks for patients who have not had prior cancer treatment and who are healthy enough for the procedure and follow-up.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05147844RecruitingPhase 2
Toripalimab plus radiation for limited-spread nose cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies whether adding toripalimab (an immune therapy) to radiation can control nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread only to a few places. It may help by boosting the immune system while the radiation treats the tumor sites.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT05431764RecruitingPhase 2
PD-1 treatment plus radiation for limited metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests adding a PD-1 “immunotherapy” medicine (a type of cancer-fighting antibody) along with stereotactic body radiotherapy (very focused radiation) to treat nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread to only a few places. It may help shrink remaining visible spots after initial local radiation and see whether this “consolidation” approach improves control of the cancer.
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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06029270RecruitingPhase 2
Adding relatlimab to standard immunotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug called relatlimab to the usual immunotherapy (nivolumab) helps people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread. You will get standard chemotherapy plus nivolumab first, then if it works, you may be randomly assigned to get nivolumab alone or with relatlimab.
Dublin, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06055816RecruitingPhase 2
Gemcitabine plus two targeted drugs for older adults with nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—chemotherapy (gemcitabine), a blood-vessel blocker (Endostar), and an immunotherapy (Envafolimab)—for older adults with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that hasn't been treated yet. The goal is to see if this mix works better than standard care for patients aged 65 and up.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 65 years+ - 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.
