Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT06802835RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
EGFR antibody plus immunotherapy and chemo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of an EGFR antibody, a PD-1 inhibitor, and chemotherapy for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this new mix can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 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 - NCT06868433RecruitingPhase 1
TMV vaccine alone or with pembrolizumab for advanced HNSCC
This trial tests a vaccine made from your own tumor to help your immune system fight head and neck cancer that has returned or spread. It is given alone or with an immunotherapy drug (pembrolizumab) to see if it can shrink tumors or slow progression.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 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.
JinanAges 18–75 - 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+ - 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 - NCT01365169Recruiting
How activity level and daily function relate to cancer survival
This study looks at how physical activity (movement during the day) and a clinician-rated “day-to-day function” score relate to overall survival in people with certain cancers. It may help doctors understand who benefits most from activity-focused care and better monitoring.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - NCT03010150Recruiting
Blood tests and swallowing exercise check-ins for head and neck cancer
This study looks at whether giving swallowing exercises and checking in with questionnaires can help people with metastatic (spreading to neck lymph nodes) head and neck cancers do the exercises correctly. It also uses blood tests to better understand adherence and progress over time.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04376866RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy for repeat nasopharyngeal cancer after it returns
This trial studies toripalimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system attack cancer) for nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back locally. It may help shrink or control the returning tumor and improve outcomes for people who meet the safety and lab requirements.
Nanning, GuangxiAges 18–65 - NCT05447169Recruiting
Testing blood and DNA checks for nasopharyngeal cancer risk
This study tests an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) blood antibody and an EBV DNA test to help screen people at higher risk for nasopharyngeal cancer. It may find signs earlier in certain families where cancer runs.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 30–62 - NCT06592599RecruitingPhase 2
Drug combo for EBV-related nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (gemcitabine, docetaxel, and toripalimab) as a first treatment for a type of nasopharyngeal cancer linked to the Epstein-Barr virus. The goal is to see if this combination helps shrink tumors before other treatments like radiation.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06886347RecruitingPhase 1
New treatment for metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer before chemotherapy
This trial tests a new treatment for people with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread (stage IVb) and who have not yet had chemotherapy. It aims to see if the experimental treatment is safe and effective as a first option.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - 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 - 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+ - NCT05062005RecruitingPhase 3
Tests two ways of treating locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This phase 3 trial compares a standard treatment plan (CRT) versus a new approach (ICCRT) for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer, without spread to distant organs. It aims to see which plan works better and is safe for tumors in the head and neck area.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT05860868RecruitingPhase 3
Two versus three chemo treatments before radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares giving two cycles versus three cycles of chemotherapy before other treatment for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. It may help find which schedule works best to control the cancer while managing side effects.
Guangzhou, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18–65 - NCT04910347RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab after chemoradiation for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests nivolumab (an immune system–boosting antibody) given after standard chemoradiation to help keep advanced nasopharyngeal cancer from coming back or progressing. It may help your immune system better find and attack cancer cells after treatment.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT03907826RecruitingPhase 3
PD-1 therapy plus chemoradiation for recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial studies whether adding a PD-1 antibody (an immunotherapy) to standard chemoradiation can better control recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer that can’t be removed with surgery. If you qualify, you’d receive the study treatment and be closely monitored for side effects and cancer response.
