View clinical trials related to Nasopharyngeal Cancer.
Filter by:Nasopharyngeal cancer is a malignant tumor that arises from the cells of the nasopharyngeal epithelium, with its occurrence spread across different regions worldwide. Recent data from China in 2015 revealed approximately 6.0 million new cases of nasopharyngeal cancer, leading to approximately 34,000 deaths. When choosing a chemotherapy regimen for patients with metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer, the gemcitabine and cisplatin combination (GP) is typically recommended as the initial treatment. However, it is common for patients to experience disease progression after receiving first-line chemotherapy, highlighting the importance of a well-defined second-line treatment plan. Recent clinical studies have indicated that combining nituzumab with radiotherapy can enhance treatment efficacy with minimal side effects, providing promising results for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer patients. Additionally, the use of irinotecan liposome injection has proved beneficial in modifying the drug's pharmacokinetics, resulting in improved drug delivery to the tumor site while reducing toxicity in healthy tissues. This study aims to explore the effectiveness and safety of combining irinotecan liposome with nituzumab treatment for recurrent metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has not responded to initial immunotherapy. Participants selected for this clinical trial will receive a treatment regimen consisting of liposomal irinotecan administered intravenously at a dose of 70 mg/m2 on day 1, along with nituzumab given at a dose of 400 mg via intravenous injection on the same day. This treatment cycle will be repeated every two weeks for a maximum of eight cycles, or until disease progression, intolerable side effects, or other criteria necessitating discontinuation of treatment as determined by the investigator. By evaluating the efficacy and safety of this combined regimen, investigators aim to establish a novel therapeutic approach for managing advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the context of current immunotherapy advancements.
This trial aims to study the role of Adebrelimab combined with induction chemotherapy plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (IC+CCRT) for high-risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(LANPC).
The investigators hypothesize that the addition of bevacizumab and pembrolizumab to induction cisplatin and gemcitabine is tolerable and improves metabolic complete response (mCR), relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to induction cisplatin and gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC)
Multicentre , non-randomized, prospective clinical trial to assess efficacy of Nivolumab in treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer who progressed during or after platinum-based chemotherapy . Patients disqualified from radical therapy . The total number of patients was estimated for 32.
Cancer is a global health issue. According to the World Health Organization, Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, and is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. In Israel, more than 30,000 new cases of cancer were diagnosed, and more than 11,000 deaths were cancer-related during 2016. Imaging plays a pivotal role in cancer management, and multiple techniques are used in all phases of cancer management. The overall morphological, structural, metabolic and functional information obtained in imaging is used for improved individualized therapy planning. Different imaging modalities are available during different time points in the natural history of different malignancies: Early detection of cancer through screening based on imaging is probably a major contributor to a reduction in mortality for certain cancers . Once a diagnosis is made, determining the clinical stage of cancer, meaning the extent of the disease before any treatment is given, is a critical element in determining appropriate treatment based on the experience and outcomes of groups of previous patients with similar stage . Precise clinical staging of cancer is crucial. Not only that this clear non-ambiguous description is a key factor that defines prognosis, it is also a chief component of inclusion, exclusion, and stratification criteria for clinical trials. Several cancer staging systems are used worldwide. The most clinically useful staging system is the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging system developed by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) in collaboration with the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC). The AJCC TNM system classifies cancers by the size and extent of the primary tumor (T), involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence or absence of distant metastases (M). There is a TNM staging algorithm for cancers of virtually every anatomic site and histology, with the primary exception of pediatric cancers. The clinical TNM (cTNM) classification should be used to determine correctly the clinical stage of cancer and to help guide primary therapy planning.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is commonly observed in southern China, particularly in the Pearl River delta area and the Xijiang River basin in the Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, with an incidence rate as high as 25‑50 per 100,000. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines (version 1, 2018), have recommended use of induction chemotherapy followed by CCRT as category 2A for NPC, especially the TPF regimen as category 1 for EBV-associated disease. The nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (Nab-paclitaxel) is a promising new agent with more efficient entry to the tumor microenvironment and preferential uptake by cancer cells. Superior activity of Nab-paclitaxel regimens without the necessity for antianaphylactic pretreatments has been shown in various solid tumors compared with the traditional solvent-based paclitaxel-based ones. However, the safety and efficacy of combination of Nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin and Fluorouracil (APF) has not been determined in patients with locoregionally advanced NPC. In this prospective, Multi-centeric, Open, Non-controlled phase II clinical trial, investigators perform an exploratory study to the efficacy and Safety of APF.
