Filter by:The investigators will add weekly cetuximab (c225) to the standard care of chemoradiation against locoregionally advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC), and evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of this new regimen.
By this clinical trial, the investigators are trying to give an answer to such a question. Whether NPC patients staged N2-3M0 need adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of paclitaxel and platinum after concurrent chemoradiation?
Bevacizumab may have a better effect on brain necrosis caused by radiotherapy.This randomized trial aims to investigate whether bevacizumab may alleviate radiation-induced brain necrosis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The effect will be compared with outcomes in patients receiving steroid therapy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and toxicity of docetaxel-cisplatin neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent radiotherapy with cetuximab or weekly cisplatin in locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
The investigators designed this study to evaluate the efficiency and the acute toxicities of recombinant human endostatin (endostar) combined with chemotherapy in the metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
This is a Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of nedaplatin versus cisplatin with IMRT chemoradiotherapy in treating patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients(UICC7th stageIII to IVb) will receive either cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (PF) or docetaxel plus cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil(TPF) neoadjuvant chemotherapy with concurrent chemoradiation.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a prevalent disease in southeast of China. Radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy is a standard therapy for nasopharyngeal cancer. Cytotoxic chemotherapy plays an important role in the curative treatment of advanced NPC. However, concurrent chemoradiotherapy increased significantly local and systemic toxic effects, which may preclude many patients from proceeding with combined therapy. The epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) gene is amplified in 40% and EGFR protein is overexpressed in over 80% of NPC. EGFR overexpression is also associated with shorter survival following chemoradiotherapy in locoregionally advanced NPC. And some basic researches have proved that EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs) could increase the radiosensitivity and reduce the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in NPC cell line. Moreover, distant metastases has been the major cause of treatment failure in NPC. Icotinib hydrochloride is a novel oral EGFR TKIs with low mammalian toxicity(made in China). But base on toxic effects of Icotinib, it may increase toxic effects about skin and mucosa in combination therapy with Icotinib and Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT). The prospective study will assess the tolerability and efficacy of Icotinib combined with IMRT in patients with NPC. This regimen is of great interest and it has potential to alleviate the adverse effects, improve patient compliance and better therapeutic ratio.
The present study will be a randomized, control, multicenter phase III study of recurrent or metastatic (R/M) nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with Gemcitabine (Gemzar, Lilly) and cisplatin regimen (GP) or 5-Fluorouracil plus cisplatin regimen (FP). The population consists of recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) that failed the radical radiotherapy or chemotherapy-naïve advanced NPC (stage IV). The effectiveness and side effects will be evaluated according to Standard WHO response criteria and NCI-CTC AE V3.0.
This study is a multicenter trial.The primary objective is to estimate short-term efficacy and acute toxicities of nedaplatin to the combination of docetaxel in neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by nedaplatin in concurrent chemoradiotherapy, compared to cisplatin to the combination of docetaxel in neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by cisplatin in concurrent chemoradiotherapy for patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the overall survival, the distant metastases free survival, and disease free survival of patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with these regimens.Furthermore,analyze the cost-effectiveness of the regimens.
