Filter by:The present study is designed as a two arm randomized trial to evaluate the impact of accelerated radiotherapy delivered by image guided radiotherapy with rapid arc technique in carcinoma nasopharynx. The study will evaluate a pure acceleration schedule of 6 fractions per week with concurrent chemotherapy and without any radiotherapy dose escalation.The control arm will receive standard chemoradiotherapy using image guided radiotherapy with rapid arc technique.
To establish the antitumor activity and safety of the anti-programmed death 1 receptor monoclonal antibody, Treprilimab, in patients with local recurrent/residual nasopharyngeal carcinoma after re-irradiation.Patients with local recurrent/residual NPC after re-irradiation were treated with Treprilimab until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was objective response rate (ORR) and secondary end points included survival and toxicity.The sample size of this study was estimated on the assumption that response rates (RRs) to Treprilimab should be around 25%,based on a report that was available at the time this study was planned.Furthermore, the RR to noncytotoxic, experimental agents such as pazopanib and cetuximab in similarly pretreated patient cohorts was approximately 5% to 10%. This study's design was based on the modified Simon two-stage optimal design (α=0.05，β=0.2,n1=2/22,n2=7/40). If two responses were observed during the first stage, enrollment was continued until a total of 40 patients was reached.
This is a randomized phase 2 trial with 2 groups (control group vs experimental group). Patients with locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LR-NPC) assigned to the control group will receive standardized carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT). For patients assigned to the experimental group, a predictive model will be used to predict the chance of developing mucosal necrosis after salvage carbon-ion radiotherapy, and individualized dose prescription will be given. The primary endpoint of the study is to compare the 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) between 2 groups.
The purpose of this study is to compare the toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of proton or photon combined with carbon ion radiotherapy for newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Participants will be randomized to 2 arms. Arm 1, participants received photon combined with carbon ion radiotherapy group, Arm 2, participants received proton combined with carbon ion radiotherapy.
Researchers conduct the clinical trial (gemcitabine combined with cisplatin induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy with gemcitabine for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma) to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of Toripalimab Combined with GP Regimen Chemotherapy Versus GP Regimen Chemotherapy for Primary Metastatic NPC.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections is known to be a high-risk factor to induce cervical cancers. To date, EBV-related nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is still a major concern in east Asia, especially in China. Concurrent therapies for NPC have limited response rate and high chance of relapse. However, EBV-induced cancers provided an ideal target for T cell-based immunotherapy due to the non-self origins. Engineered T cells bearing a TCR (TCR-T) that can specifically recognize the presented EBV-epitope become a viable approach to treat this type of cancer. Though engineered T therapies have been well-recognized in hematological cancers, solid cancer treatment has been a major hurdle due to the immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment. Cytokine seemed to represent the ideal candidate for tumor immunotherapy, due to its ability to activate both innate (NK cells) and adaptive immunities. therefore, TCR-T cells armed with a cytokine -secretion element could further enhance the efficacy of TCR-T in solid cancers.
This study is a prospective phase II trial which is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IMRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy and anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma with induced chemotherapy resistance. Eligibility criteria include histologically confirmed locally advanced NPC according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging System (the eighth edition); Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1; at least one measurable lesion based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria 1.1; normal complete blood count, normal hepatic function and normal renal function. Exclusion criteria include previous radiotherapy, a history of any other type of malignancy; pregnancy or lactation; allergy to anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody; obvious dysfunction of liver, renal, cardiac or lung function; uncontrolled infection; systemic metastasis or distant metastasis; patients with severe gastrointestinal diseases, and patients with mental disorders affecting patient participation in trial judgement. The full-set pretreatment evaluation will be performed to every patient. All patients in this study will receive intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). The primary endpoints of this study is progression-free survival (PFS) and adverse events (AE) rate.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the highest reported otorhinolaryngological malignancy reported in Malaysia affecting predominantly male adults between 40-60 years old [1, 2]. Radiation therapy (RT) has been coined as the mainstay treatment owing to its' radiosensitive properties [1, 3]. Radiation-induced DNA damage impairs proper cell division, resulting in cell death or senescence of cells that attempt to divide, particularly useful in killing malignant cells. However, radiation doses to the salivary glands cause loss of saliva producing acinar cells which ultimately hampers production of saliva in NPC patients post radiation [4]. This leads to progressive loss of salivary gland function causing xerostomia symptoms [5]. This study aims to compare the effects of two mouthwashes in the treatment of xerostomia.
Main purpose of this study is through comparing with the external control, evaluation of autologous D - CIK cells immunotherapy to finish after conventional treatment of liver cancer, renal clear cell carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer patients with the clinical efficacy and safety of study population, including clinical liver, renal clear cell carcinoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lung cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer after conventional treatment (surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy) patients.The primary outcome measures were overall survival and progression-free survival, while the secondary outcome measures were overall response rate and quality of life.
