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 - 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 - NCT05994170Recruiting
Lower radiation dose to tumor area for early nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial studies whether lowering the radiation dose to a smaller area around the tumor is safe and effective for people with newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal cancer that has not spread. It may reduce side effects while still curing the cancer.
Zhongshan, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06321939Recruiting
Tracking EBV DNA in Blood for Nasopharyngeal Cancer
This trial studies whether tracking levels of Epstein-Barr virus DNA in your blood can help guide treatment for non-metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. You would get standard radiation and maybe chemotherapy, with extra blood tests to see how the virus levels change.
Changsha, HunanAges 18 years+ - 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.
