Personalized Cancer Treatment Guidance for Nasopharyngeal Cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–65 years
- Nasopharyngeal cancer confirmed by biopsy, with a specific virus present (EBER-positive)
- Cancer is stage II–III (not spread to distant organs) or has high levels of cancer virus in blood
- Good overall health (able to carry out normal daily activities with minimal assistance)
- Must have recent MRI scans of the head and neck before starting treatment
- Must be willing to provide blood and tissue samples for research

This study helps doctors predict which patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (a cancer of the upper throat) will benefit most from additional chemotherapy after radiation treatment. It uses a special blood test and imaging to create a personalized risk score for each patient.
This trial tests whether adjusting chemotherapy based on tumor markers (EBV-DNA) and MRI scans can improve outcomes and reduce side effects for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. If you have stage II or III disease, this study might help guide your treatment more precisely.
This study looks at tissue and blood samples from people already treated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma to find markers that predict how well treatment works and to identify new ways to treat the cancer. It may help doctors personalise care in the future.
This trial tests a new drug (BL-B01D1) given alone or with another drug that helps the immune system fight cancer (called a PD-1 inhibitor). It is for people with newly diagnosed, locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or control the cancer better.
This trial tests whether a personalized radiation plan for the neck can prevent cancer from spreading in people with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. It's for those whose cancer hasn't spread beyond the head and neck area.
This trial tests a more precise form of radiation therapy (adaptive radiotherapy) for nasopharyngeal cancer. It is designed for patients who have not yet had any treatment and whose cancer is limited to the head and neck area.
