Filter by:This phase II trial is studying the how well saracatinib works in treating patients with metastatic or recurrent head and neck cancer. Saracatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
This phase II trial studies how well dasatinib works in treating patients with head and neck cancer that has come back or spread to other areas of the body. Dasatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Bevacizumab may reduce CNS side effects caused by radiation therapy. This randomized phase II trial is studying how well bevacizumab works in reducing CNS side effects in patients who have undergone radiation therapy to the brain for primary brain tumor, meningioma, or head and neck cancer.
This research is to test the effectiveness and toxicity of both Ifosfamide and Doxorubicin. It also aims to explore the relationship between EBV DNA and clinical response in patients with advanced naso-pharyngeal cancer which has been previously treated with chemotherapy.
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well pazopanib hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage IV or recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor.
This single arm study will assess the efficacy and safety of Xeloda + oxaliplatin when given as first line treatment for patients with metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. Patients will receive Xeloda (1000mg/m2 bid orally from day 1 to day 14, followed by a rest period of 7 days) plus oxaliplatin (130mg/m2 iv infusion on day 1 of each 21 day cycle) for 6-8 cycles. The anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression, and the target sample size is <100 individuals.
Primary objective: To evaluate the response rate of biweekly gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (the GEMOX regimen) in the first line treatment of metastatic or recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Secondary objectives: To assess the toxicity, duration of response, time to progression, progression-free survival, overall survival and cancer-related symptoms in the first line treatment of patients with metastatic or recurrent NPC.
Primary objective: To assess and compare the toxicities of patients with advanced NPC treated with concurrent cisplatin-radiotherapy with or without neoadjuvant Taxotere (docetaxel) and cisplatin. Secondary objective: To assess tumor control and survival
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of making and giving Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) immunotherapy products to subjects with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) associated with EBV that has come back or spread to other parts of the body. EBV immunotherapy product is made with white blood cells from the participants body that are collected intravenously. This EBV immunotherapy product may stop cancer cells from growing abnormally. EBV immunotherapy products have been used in several research studies for NPC. Information from these studies suggests the EBV immunotherapy products may stop the growth of NPC in some subjects.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if acupuncture is effective in preventing xerostomia (dry mouth) in cancer patients who receive radiation treatment to the head and neck area. Researchers also want to learn whether acupuncture lowers the severity of dry mouth that is experienced by these patients. Primary Objective: -Investigate if acupuncture is effective in preventing xerostomia among cancer patients at Fudan University Cancer Hospital (Cancer Hospital) who receive radiation treatment to the head and neck area. Secondary Objectives: - Determine whether acupuncture reduces the severity of xerostomia. - Determine the feasibility of providing acupuncture treatment to patients at Cancer Hospital who are receiving radiation treatment for cancer of the head and/or neck area.
