Maintenance therapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
Part of Cancer, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread to distant parts of the body (stage IV) or has come back and cannot be treated with local therapy
- Your disease has not gotten worse after 4 to 6 cycles of your first chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy (you have stable disease or still have EBV DNA in your blood)
- You are in good enough health to perform daily activities (ECOG score 0 or 1)
- You have adequate blood cell counts and liver and kidney function

This trial tests a new drug called Becotatug Vedotin for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer whose tumor did not shrink enough after initial chemotherapy plus immunotherapy. If you qualify, you may receive this targeted therapy to help control the disease.
This trial tests if adding an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 inhibitor) after standard induction chemotherapy helps keep advanced nasopharyngeal cancer from coming back. It is for people who have completed 3 cycles of GP chemotherapy combined with a PD-1 inhibitor and have not had their cancer progress.
This trial tests a combination of an EGFR antibody, a PD-1 inhibitor, and chemotherapy for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread after initial treatment. The goal is to see if this new mix can help shrink tumors or slow the disease.
This trial tests a combination therapy that first wakes up the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in cancer cells and then uses an immune-boosting drug (PD-1 antibody) to help your body attack them. It is for people whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back or spread to other parts of the body.
This trial tests a combination of a new targeted cancer drug (becotatug vedotin), an immunotherapy (PD-1 blockade), and chemoradiotherapy for newly diagnosed advanced nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes. The goal is to improve outcomes for patients with this aggressive cancer type.
This trial tests a combination of MRG003 (a targeted drug) plus immunotherapy for people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread or come back and cannot be removed with surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer.
