Recruiting studies
- 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.

Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06472713RecruitingPhase 2
Liposomal mitoxantrone with immunotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a combination of a chemotherapy drug (mitoxantrone liposome) with an immunotherapy (PD-1 blocker) for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back or spread and hasn't responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Zhuhai, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07690787RecruitingPhase 2
Study of JS207 for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests a new drug, JS207, which targets two proteins (PD-1 and VEGF) that help cancer grow. It's for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has not spread too much, and who have not had certain prior treatments.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT05280314RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy before and after surgery for stage III melanoma or throat cancer
This trial tests two immunotherapy medicines given before surgery and again after surgery to help control the cancer and improve outcomes. It studies people with resectable (operable) stage III melanoma or certain stage III/IVA throat cancers.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05446467RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab before surgery for advanced head and neck cancer
This trial studies whether pembrolizumab, given before surgery, can improve outcomes for certain people with stage III–IVA head and neck squamous cell cancer. It’s typically added alongside low-dose PFAS as part of treatment leading up to standard surgery and afterward medicines/radiation.

This trial tests adding toripalimab (an immunotherapy) to two different platinum-based chemotherapy regimens as initial treatment for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The goal is to see if this combination is more effective than standard treatment.
Dongguan, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07332247RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus chemo then immediate vs selective re-radiation for advanced recurrent NPC
This trial is for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back in the same area. It tests whether giving additional radiation right after chemo plus immunotherapy works better than waiting to see if more radiation is needed later.

Immunotherapy or chemo pills after chemoradiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial compares two options—a type of immunotherapy or a chemotherapy pill (capecitabine)—as maintenance treatment after standard chemoradiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to see which helps prevent the cancer from coming back.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05854849RecruitingPhase 3
Testing three-drug therapy versus cisplatin for recurrent NPC
This trial studies whether gemcitabine plus camrelizumab plus apatinib works better than cisplatin alone for people with recurrent or metastatic non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal cancer. It’s meant for people who haven’t had prior whole-body (systemic) treatment for the returning/spreading cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for recurrent nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 52 recruiting recurrent nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a recurrent nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a recurrent nasopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
