Filter by:This phase II trial studies nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with rare tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) of re-irradiation using carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) with the fraction size of 3 gray equivalent (GyE) in the treatment of locally recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) and to evaluate the efficacy of such treatment at the MTD. Participants will be treated with CIRT with escalating dose regimens to evaluate the MTD in terms of acute and subacute toxicity observed during and within 4 months after the completion of CIRT. Once the MTD for locally recurrent NPC is determined, the MTD will be used as the recommended dose to patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria in the Phase II part of the trial.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether endostar and IMRT is effective in the treatment of locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients compared with IMRT alone.
The purpose of this study is to compare individualized clinical target volume (CTV) based on disease extension risk atlas and computer-aided delineation with traditional CTV in intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), in order to confirm the efficacy and safety.
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 learn about the long-term symptoms and side effects that survivors of nasopharyngeal cancer may have following radiation treatment. This study will include assessment of patient report outcomes, physician-graded adverse events, neurocognitive assessment and endocrine and hearing testing
The primary objective is to determine the early diagnosis rate and mortality rate of the Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) in the study population. The secondary objective is to determine the incidence of NPC in the study population.
The purpose of this study is to verify that induction gemcitabine and cisplatin plus intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is non-inferior to concurrent weekly cisplatin plus IMRT for patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
This study evaluates the hyperfractionated IMRT in the treatment of patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Half of participants will receive hyperfractionated IMRT, while the other half will receive conventional fraction IMRT.
Several prospective randomized trials have demonstrated that concurrent chemoradiotherapy was superior to radiotherapy alone in the treatment of locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Based on these evidences, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with/without sequential chemotherapy has become the standard care for locoregionally advanced NPC. However, most of these evidences of standard treatment for locoregionally advanced NPC were based on the two-dimensional conventional radiotherapy (2DCRT). As the intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique has been widely used in the last decades, IMRT improved the treatment outcomes of patients with NPC, especially the local control rate. Currently, more retrospective studies compared the IMRT alone vs. IMRT plus concurrent chemotherapy, and reported that concurrent chemotherapy failed to improve survival rates for patients with locoregionally advanced disease, but increased the severity of acute toxicities. People started to reconsider the role of CCRT. Therefore, we propose this randomized phase III non-inferiority study to reassess the efficacy and contribution of concurrent chemotherapy in locoregionally advanced NPC during IMRT era.
This is a phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of single-agent icotinib in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
