View clinical trials related to Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
Filter by:Nasopharyngeal cancer is common in China, Southeast Asia, and North Africa, and is usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Using EBV specific antibodies or EBV DNA screening can increase the proportion of patients diagnosed with early nasopharyngeal carcinoma from approximately 20% to over 70%. However, the application of nasopharyngeal carcinoma screening in clinical practice is hindered by low positive predictive values, even in areas where the EB virus is prevalent in China, the positive predictive value is only 4.8%. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new biomarkers or strategies with high sensitivity and positive predictive value for nasopharyngeal carcinoma screening. A study published in the Lancet sub journal 《eClinicalMedicine》 in 2023 showed that a tongue image model based on machine learning can serve as a stable diagnostic method for gastric cancer (AUC=0.89), and has been clinically validated in multiple centers. This study inspires researchers to introduce artificial intelligence machine learning technology into the diagnosis and treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer. In summary, this plan explores the establishment of tongue image machine learning models in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients to help improve the positive predictive value of nasopharyngeal carcinoma screening.
A phase III, randomized, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BL-B01D1 in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had failed at least two lines of platinum-based chemotherapy after receiving PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody as the last line of therapy.
The main purpse of this study is to evaluate the safety of KSD-101 in patients with EBV-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma,to evaluate the initial clinical outcomes and evaluate the immune response to KSD-101 for the treatment in Patients with EBV-associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to compare induction chemotherapy (gemcitabine+cisplatin) plus immunotherapy with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) or RT alone in patients with stage III-IVa nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC), in order to confirm the value of Immunotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy in NPC patients.
This is a randomized, phase III, prospective, multi-center trial in newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients without distant metastasis. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of new-mode reduced volume IMRT versus conventional IMRT, and compare the radiotherapy-related adverse events and quality of life in two groups.
Patients with "high-risk" locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LA-NPC), defined as AJCC/UICC 8th edition TNM-stage III-IVA and high Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA viral load (≥4,000 copies/mL) will require induction chemotherapy (IC) prior to chemo-radiation (CCRT) as per standard treatment. Patients who persist to manifest DETECTABLE EBV DNA following 3 cycles of IC have a higher risk of relapse, and are typically recommended for a year of low-dose oral chemotherapy after CCRT. RIBBON-LA-01 is a single-arm, open-label, phase 2 clinical trial of maintenance tislelizumab and metronomic capecitabine (metroCap) for 52 weeks after IC and CCRT, targeting this specific group of patients who have persistent detectable EBV DNA after IC. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance tislelizumab and metroCap in patients with DETECTABLE EBV DNA levels after 3 cycles of IC.
This prospective trial aims to enroll patients with high-risk stage III-IVA (AJCC 8th, except T3N0) locoregionally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (LANPC). Under the condition of full course of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades, patients who achieved both radiological and biological complete response after 3 cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 blockades will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive reduced-dose radiotherapy (60Gy/30F) alone or reduced-dose radiotherapy plus concurrent chemotherapy or standard dose radiotherapy (70Gy/33F) with concurrent chemotherapy. To solve the urgent problem of whether patients with high-risk advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma are suitable for downgrade treatment.
This phase II trial tests effects of nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy drugs prior to radiation therapy patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). 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 gemcitabine and cisplatin, 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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Researchers want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, adding nivolumab to chemotherapy has on patients with newly diagnosed NPC. In addition, they want to find out if children with NPC may be treated with less radiation therapy and whether this decreases the side effects of therapy.
This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm, phase II clinical study, with the purpose to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of envafolimab combined with chemoradiotherapy and recombinant human endostatin in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
