Tailoring chemo for nasopharyngeal cancer using EBV-DNA and MRI
This trial tests whether adjusting chemotherapy based on tumor markers (EBV-DNA) and MRI scans can improve outcomes and reduce side effects for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. If you have stage II or III disease, this study might help guide your treatment more precisely.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06611150RecruitingPhase 1
Chemo and radiation for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a specific chemotherapy drug (nab-paclitaxel) given along with targeted radiation therapy can help people with stage III or IVa nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to improve treatment outcomes while managing 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06669611RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drug combos for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether a new drug combination (Nab-Paclitaxel with Camrelizumab) works better than the standard GP chemotherapy plus Camrelizumab for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back or spread. The goal is to find a more effective treatment option.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - 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.
