Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to explore the significance of analgesic treatment for radiation-induced oral mucositis pain in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma during radiotherapy, and to compare the analgesic effect of morphine controlled-release tablets with that of fentanyl transdermal patch. Half of participants will receive morphine controlled-release tablets,while the other half will receive fentanyl transdermal patch.
This would be a phase II prospective single arm mono-institutional study conducted in Queen Mary Hospital (Hong Kong) assessing the efficacy and safety of bintrafusp alfa in previously treated patients with recurrent and metastatic (R/M) non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
This study is a multicenter RCT to compare 3-year overall survival(OS) rate, progression free survival(PFS),local progression free survival(LPFS),regional progression free survival(RPFS),distant metastasis free survival(DMFS), and toxicities of endonasal endoscopic surgery versus IMRT.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of image guided de-escalation protocols in patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). So the investigators studied whether toxicities reducing treatment with omitted concurrent chemotherapy after good response to induction chemotherapy would maintain survival outcomes while improving tolerability for patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
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.
This clinical trial is an open-label, single-centre, dose escalation, phase I study designed to investigate the safety and tolerability of Haploidentical / Allogeneic NKG2DL-targeting Chimeric Antigen Receptor-grafted Gamma Delta (γδ) T Cells (CTM-N2D) in Subjects with Relapsed or Refractory Solid Tumour. The study objectives of this phase I study are to determine the safety, activity and the safe dose of haploidentical or allogeneic NKG2DL-targeting chimeric antigen receptor-grafted γδ T cells given four times weekly in patients with relapsed or refractory solid tumors of different types.
It is well established that HPV infection has a casual and is a prognostic factor in several cancer types, including oropharynx. We wish to examine if HPV infection has a prognostic significance in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
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.
Endostar Continuous Intravenous Infusion Combined With Induction Chemotherapy and Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Locoregionally Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
This is a single center, randomized, phase Ib/II open-label study of pembrolizumab (pembro or MK-3475) with or without bevacizumab in patients with recurrent non-curable or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
