Filter by:This is a prospective, single-center clinical trial in eccentric nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NBI combined with MRI-guided optimized CTV compared with conventional CTV, and to compare the radiotherapy-related adverse events and quality of life between the two groups.
Because nasopharyngeal carcinoma （NPC）is very sensitive to radiation and the specificity of the anatomical structure, radiotherapy has become the core treatment for NPC. Although induction chemotherapy combined with cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy can effectively improve the overall survival and progression-free survival of NPC, such a sequential pattern can further exacerbate the toxic side effects of treatment, such as mucosal reactions and gastrointestinal toxicity. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore another treatment mode with high efficiency and low toxicity. Secondly, patients with poor response after induction chemotherapy indicate chemotherapy resistance. Whether patients can still benefit from concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy in the followed radiotherapy is doubtful. PD-1 inhibitor and anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody have proved to improve outcomes of head and neck cancers including EBV-related NPC, which have also showed relatively low toxicity. In this study, radiotherapy combined with PD-1 inhibitor and anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody were applied to treat patients with locally advanced NPC who were resistant to induction chemotherapy.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of head and neck cancer. The last three decades of research in head and neck radiation oncology have largely focused on improvements in survival, which have mostly come at the cost of long term toxicity for surviving patients.This is an observational study that is being done to evaluate the long-term efficacy, learn about the toxicity and quality of life that survivors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma may have following treated with reduced volume intensity modulated radiation therapy.
Nasopharyngeal cancer is common in China, Southeast Asia, and North Africa, and is usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Using EBV specific antibodies or EBV DNA screening can increase the proportion of patients diagnosed with early nasopharyngeal carcinoma from approximately 20% to over 70%. However, the application of nasopharyngeal carcinoma screening in clinical practice is hindered by low positive predictive values, even in areas where the EB virus is prevalent in China, the positive predictive value is only 4.8%. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new biomarkers or strategies with high sensitivity and positive predictive value for nasopharyngeal carcinoma screening. A study published in the Lancet sub journal 《eClinicalMedicine》 in 2023 showed that a tongue image model based on machine learning can serve as a stable diagnostic method for gastric cancer (AUC=0.89), and has been clinically validated in multiple centers. This study inspires researchers to introduce artificial intelligence machine learning technology into the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer. In summary, this plan explores the establishment of tongue image machine learning models in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients to help improve the positive predictive value of nasopharyngeal carcinoma screening.
A phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BL-B01D1 in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had failed at least two lines of platinum-based chemotherapy after receiving PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody as the last line of therapy.
The main purpse of this study is to evaluate the safety of KSD-101 in patients with EBV-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma,to evaluate the initial clinical outcomes and evaluate the immune response to KSD-101 for the treatment in Patients with EBV-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to compare induction chemotherapy (gemcitabine+cisplatin) plus immunotherapy with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) or RT alone in patients with stage III-IVa nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC), in order to confirm the value of Immunotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy in NPC patients.
This is a randomized, phase III, prospective, multi-center trial in newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients without distant metastasis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new-mode reduced volume IMRT versus conventional IMRT, and compare the radiotherapy-related adverse events and quality of life in two groups.
Patients with "high-risk" locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC), defined as AJCC/UICC 8th edition TNM-stage III-IVA and high Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA viral load (≥4,000 copies/mL) will require induction chemotherapy (IC) prior to chemo-radiation (CCRT) as per standard treatment. Patients who persist to manifest DETECTABLE EBV DNA following 3 cycles of IC have a higher risk of relapse, and are typically recommended for a year of low-dose oral chemotherapy after CCRT. RIBBON-LA-01 is a single-arm, open-label, phase 2 clinical trial of maintenance tislelizumab and metronomic capecitabine (metroCap) for 52 weeks after IC and CCRT, targeting this specific group of patients who have persistent detectable EBV DNA after IC. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance tislelizumab and metroCap in patients with DETECTABLE EBV DNA levels after 3 cycles of IC.
This prospective trial aims to enroll patients with high-risk stage III-IVA (AJCC 8th, except T3N0) locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Under the condition of full course of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades, patients who achieved both radiological and biological complete response after 3 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 blockades will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive reduced-dose radiotherapy (60Gy/30F) alone or reduced-dose radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy or standard dose radiotherapy (70Gy/33F) with concurrent chemotherapy. To solve the urgent problem of whether patients with high-risk advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma are suitable for downgrade treatment.
