Irvine, CaliforniaAges 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.
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 - NCT06662058Recruiting
Remote hearing test for head and neck cancer patients on cisplatin or radiation
This study tests a remote hearing test to monitor hearing changes in patients with head and neck cancer getting cisplatin chemotherapy and/or radiation. The goal is to catch hearing loss early so treatment can be adjusted.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 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.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04136886RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo trial for return of advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 study tests a chemotherapy plan for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back locally (T3/T4). It aims to see if treatment given after return of cancer can help control the disease without spreading to distant organs.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - 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 - NCT04425265Recruiting
Low-temperature plasma treatment vs high-frequency cautery for recurring cancer
This trial compares two ways of surgically treating localized, recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer: a low-temperature plasma radiofrequency method versus a standard high-frequency cautery method. You might be eligible if your recurrence is limited and can be surgically removed, and you are within the allowed health and age ranges.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04448522RecruitingPhase 3
Lower-dose radiotherapy for EBV-responsive nasopharyngeal cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a reduced amount of radiotherapy can work as well as the standard dose for certain people with stage II–III nasopharyngeal cancer who respond well after initial chemotherapy. It’s designed for patients whose cancer markers improve after 3 chemotherapy cycles, to potentially reduce treatment side effects while keeping cancer control.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04453813RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy with chemoradiation for recurring nasopharyngeal cancer
This phase 3 trial tests whether adding toripalimab (an immunotherapy medicine) to standard chemo-radiation works better for treating nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back and cannot be removed by surgery. It aims to improve control of the cancer after it returns.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT04778956RecruitingPhase 3
Toripalimab plus surgery vs surgery alone for recurring throat cancer
This trial tests whether adding toripalimab (an immune therapy) to surgery helps people with recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer live longer or control the cancer better than surgery alone. You may qualify if your recurrence can be fully removed by surgery and it came back after a certain amount of time.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05352321Recruiting
Surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation
This trial compares two treatment plans for newly diagnosed, operable nasopharyngeal cancer: adding surgery plus targeted chemoradiation versus standard chemoradiation alone. It aims to see whether the surgery-based plan improves control of the cancer and related outcomes.
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 - NCT06019130RecruitingPhase 2
Nivolumab for newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab (Opdivo) can help treat nasopharyngeal cancer in both children and adults. It is for people who have just been diagnosed and have not yet received any cancer treatment.
AachenAges 3 years+ - 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+ - NCT06197776Recruiting
Predicting treatment success for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This study uses advanced testing (multi-omics) to predict if combining chemoradiation with immunotherapy works better for nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread. It aims to find the right treatment for each person.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06228079RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo-immunotherapy after surgery for early reoccurring nasopharyngeal cancer
This study looks at whether adding chemo-immunotherapy after surgery is better than surgery alone for patients whose nasopharyngeal cancer has returned but is still in early stages. It may help prevent the cancer from coming back again.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06235203RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing treatment timing in recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares giving chemotherapy and immunotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant) versus after surgery (adjuvant) for patients whose nasopharyngeal cancer has returned locally. It aims to find which approach works better to control the cancer.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06241599RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
AK104 with chemo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This study tests if adding a new immunotherapy drug (called AK104) to standard chemotherapy can help people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back or spread after previous treatment. The goal is to see if the combination works better than chemotherapy alone.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT06259721RecruitingPhase 2
New drug combo for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer after platinum failure
This trial tests a combination of three drugs—an anti-PD1 immunotherapy, nimotuzumab (targets EGFR), and capecitabine (chemotherapy)—for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has returned or spread and no longer responds to platinum-based chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination can help when standard treatment stops working.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–70 - NCT06277050RecruitingPhase 3
Toripalimab and capecitabine after chemo-radiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug toripalimab to the chemotherapy pill capecitabine after standard treatment helps prevent nasopharyngeal cancer from coming back. It is for people with high-risk features who have already had chemo and radiation.
Ganzhou, JiangxiAges 18–70 - NCT06455410RecruitingPhase 2
GP plus adebrelimab vs. chemo alone for nasopharyngeal cancer
