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 - NCT07781358RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug combination for recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new drug combination for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back in the same area or nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to see if this treatment can shrink or control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07762976RecruitingPhase 2
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 - NCT06688760Recruiting
Surgery vs surgery plus lower-dose radiation for early nasopharyngeal cancer

Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06796270Recruiting
Short-course radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation therapy for people with nasopharyngeal cancer, a type of head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if a hypofractionated (fewer, larger doses) approach is safe and effective.
Haikou, HainanAges 18–75 - NCT06851247RecruitingPhase 2
Chemoradiation plus toripalimab for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new treatment for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. You will get chemotherapy and radiation, followed by maintenance therapy with an immunotherapy drug called toripalimab to help your immune system fight the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT07327216RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two inhalations for mouth sores from cancer treatment
This trial tests if an inhaled medication called Sapylin can prevent or reduce severe mouth sores caused by chemoradiation, compared to a standard steroid inhalation. It is for people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer who have not yet started treatment.
Zhanjiang, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07328854RecruitingPhase 3
Lower versus standard radiation in stage II nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares a lower dose of radiation (40.2 Gy) to the standard dose (49.2 Gy) for patients with stage II nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has shrunk after initial chemoimmunotherapy. The goal is to see if the lower dose works just as well while potentially causing fewer side effects.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 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 - NCT05508347RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new antibody with chemo for locally advanced throat cancer
This study tests nituzumab (a targeted antibody) added to standard induction chemotherapy versus placebo plus chemotherapy. It aims to improve tumor control and safety for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal (throat) cancer.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–70 - NCT07137052Recruiting
Precise adaptive radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a more precise form of radiation therapy (adaptive radiotherapy) for nasopharyngeal cancer. It is designed for patients who have not yet had any treatment and whose cancer is limited to the head and neck area.
XiamenAges 18–70 - NCT07085988RecruitingPhase 2
Nutrition help for nasopharyngeal cancer patients on chemoradiation
This trial tests if special nutritional management during concurrent chemoradiotherapy can improve outcomes for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. If you are getting both chemotherapy and radiation as your main treatment, this study may help you maintain better nutrition.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18 years+ - NCT06912711RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo before and after surgery for recurrent nasal cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy before and after surgery for people whose nasal cancer has come back. The goal is to see if this approach helps remove the cancer more effectively and prevents it from returning again.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT07000643RecruitingPhase 3
Proton vs. standard radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy—proton beam versus standard X-ray (photon)—for treating nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see if proton therapy works as well as standard therapy while possibly causing fewer side effects.
