Filter by:The treatment of distant metastasis is a key challenge for nasopharyngeal carcinoma because of poor outcomes, among which, chemotherapy is the cornerstone. However, many studies reported the use of different chemotherapy regimens to prolong the survival of metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma, while few of them focused on how to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy or improve the life quality of patients. Thus, we sought to find an efficient chemotherapy regimen with high tolerance according to the characteristics of chemotherapy drugs, that is, to explore the efficacy and safety of platinum plus 5-fluorouracil with continuous intravenous infusion at a low dose for a long term.
This phase III trial compares the effect of adding nivolumab to the usual chemotherapy (cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine) versus standard chemotherapy alone in treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer that has come back (recurrent) or spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and gemcitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab with the usual chemotherapy may work better than the standard chemotherapy alone in treating patients with nasopharyngeal cancer.
This is a phase III randomized clinical trial of definitive radiotherapy plus EGFR blocker nimotuzumab versus radiotherapy plus cisplatin(CCRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients with favorable response to induction chemotheray(IC), determining whether radiotherapy combined with nimotuzumab was non-inferior to CCRT and may provide new evidence for individualized comprehensive treatment of locoregionally advanced NPC.
Through multicenter, open-label, randomised clinical trials, we intend to demonstrate that concurrent and adjuvant PD-1 treatment added to chemo-radiotherapy could further decrease the rate of disease progression and improve the survival outcome of high risk patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared with those treated with chemo-radiotherapy alone.
Through multicenter, open-label, randomised clinical trials, we intend to demonstrate that concurrent and adjuvant PD-1 treatment added to concurrent chemo-radiotherapy could further decrease the rate of disease progression and improve the survival outcome of patients with unresectable locally recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma compared with those treated with concurrent chemo-radiotherapy alone.
Through multicenter, open-label, randomised clinical trials, we intend to demonstrate that radiotherapy with reduced dose could significantly reduce the incidence of radiotherapy toxicities, improve the quality of life of patients while ensuring the tumor control rates for NPC patients staged as II-III who are sensitive to induction chemotherapy (imaging evaluation of CR/PR and EBV DNA copy number decreased to 0 copies/mL after induction chemotherapy)
The investigators propose a phase II randomized-controlled study on using durvalumab in combination with induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation and adjuvant durvalumab, compared to induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation for previously untreated locoregionally advanced stage III to IVA NPC. In parallel, the investigators will also perform collateral tumor and serum biomarker studies which will be correlated with the treatment response. The investigators will collect fresh tumour biopsies at pretreatment, then serially after induction chemotherapy and after concurrent chemoradiation to investigate the change in microenvironment of the tumour and the surrounding inflammatory cells before and after durvalumab. In addition, the investigators will also measure the change in number and intensity of PD-L1-positive circulating tumour cells (CTC) before and after durvalumab and evaluate their correlation with treatment response.
This study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of the induction chemotherapy + concurrent chemoradiotherapy（CCRT）combined with toripalimab and endostar treatment, in comparison with the induction chemotherapy + concurrent chemoradiotherapy（CCRT）, in treating locally advanced high-risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma
This is an open-label, parallel controlled, phase IIa exploratory study that evaluates the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab (PD-1 Antibody) combined with induction chemotherapy （Albumin-bound paclitaxel and cisplatin ）and concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and explores the biomarkers that can predict the efficacy and toxicity of the treatment.
To compare the effectiveness and toxicity of nedaplatin versus cisplatin in induction chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
