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 - NCT06241612RecruitingPhase 3
Personalized neck radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial tests whether giving radiation only to the specific lymph nodes that need it works as well as standard radiation for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the cancer.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06252935Recruiting
Collagen membrane for gum and bone repair

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 - NCT06260111Recruiting
Laser therapy for mouth sores during stem cell transplant

StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06265636Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for jaw pain and function in TMD
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of a nerve in your jaw can reduce pain and improve chewing, talking, and mouth opening for people with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
Alcorcón, MadridAges 18–65 - NCT06267989Recruiting
Early treatment for misplaced upper canine teeth
This trial tests whether early treatment can help guide a misplaced upper permanent canine tooth into its correct position. It may be a good option if your canine tooth is not coming in normally and is not pushed toward the cheek.

Bone substitute for gum disease between tooth roots
This trial tests a bone substitute material to help repair gum defects between the roots of back teeth (molars) that have not healed with standard deep cleaning. If you have a single area of gum bone loss between the roots, this surgery might help regenerate the bone.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06278194Recruiting
Masseter muscle thickness in gasser ganglion radiofrequency treatment
This trial studies how radiofrequency treatment for facial pain affects the thickness of your chewing muscle. It may help improve future treatments.
Istanbul, BaşakşehirAges 40–85 - NCT06284434RecruitingPhase 3
EXPAREL for pain after cleft gum repair
This trial tests if a long-lasting numbing medicine (EXPAREL) can help control pain after surgery to repair the gum in children and adults with cleft lip or palate. It may mean less discomfort after the procedure.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 6 years+ - NCT06285539RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a drug for rare inflammatory diseases
This trial is testing a new drug (a JAK inhibitor) for people with rare inflammatory diseases like Behçet's, myositis, or IgG4-related disease that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can help control symptoms and reduce inflammation.
AmsterdamAges 18–65 - NCT06286501Recruiting
Preventive treatment for teens at risk of oral diseases
This trial tests a new preventive treatment for teenagers at risk of tooth decay and gum disease. It uses a special mouthpiece device (Lumoral) to clean teeth better and see if it can prevent oral health problems.
Tampere, PirkanmaaAges 14–16 - NCT06287294Recruiting
Taste problems and dry mouth in advanced cancer
This study looks at taste problems in people with advanced cancer who also have a dry mouth. It aims to understand the link between dry mouth and taste changes to help improve symptom management.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT06287346Recruiting
Comparing one-piece vs two-piece ceramic dental implants
This study tests two types of ceramic (metal-free) dental implants in people who are missing teeth and may have metal allergies. The implants are followed for 5 years to see how well they work and how safe they are.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06287788Recruiting
Mouth soreness trial for nasopharyngeal cancer patients

Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06290414Recruiting
Infrared imaging to check gum health
This trial uses a special camera that measures heat in your gums to see if it can tell if your gums are healthy, have gingivitis, or have periodontitis. It may help dentists spot gum disease earlier.
CairoAges 18–60 - NCT06290661Recruiting
Nerve stimulation for shingles-related nerve pain
This study tests a treatment called peripheral nerve stimulation (using a small device to send mild electrical pulses) for people with nerve pain after shingles. It's designed for those whose pain is not well managed by usual treatments.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06301165RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy comparison for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
