View clinical trials related to Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
Filter by:Skull-base osteonecrosis (sbORN) is a severe long-term complication of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) post radiotherapy, which significantly diminish the quality of life, increase the risk of internal carotid artery rupture, and is frequently misdiagnosed as NPC recurrence. Novel diagnostic tools are therefore clinically significant. In this study, the investigators seek to ask if a deep-learning-based model shows a significantly higher sensitivity than radiologists. With a cross-sectional design, the investigators aim to recruit 312 participants in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Guangzhou, China that meet the eligibility criteria.
This study aims to investigate toripalimab with chemotherapy in participants with nasopharyngeal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant GP chemotherapy plus adebrelimab versus neoadjuvant GP chemotherapy in treating high-risk locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the TPC regimen (nab-paclitaxel, cisplatin, and capecitabine) combined with apatinib and camrelizumab versus the GP regimen (gemcitabine and cisplatin) combined with camrelizumab for the treatment of high-risk regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma with a high risk of distant metastasis. The evaluation will be conducted through a prospective, controlled, open-label, multicenter phase 3 clinical trial in areas with high incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Nasopharyngeal cancer is a malignant tumor that arises from the cells of the nasopharyngeal epithelium, with its occurrence spread across different regions worldwide. Recent data from China in 2015 revealed approximately 6.0 million new cases of nasopharyngeal cancer, leading to approximately 34,000 deaths. When choosing a chemotherapy regimen for patients with metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer, the gemcitabine and cisplatin combination (GP) is typically recommended as the initial treatment. However, it is common for patients to experience disease progression after receiving first-line chemotherapy, highlighting the importance of a well-defined second-line treatment plan. Recent clinical studies have indicated that combining nituzumab with radiotherapy can enhance treatment efficacy with minimal side effects, providing promising results for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer patients. Additionally, the use of irinotecan liposome injection has proved beneficial in modifying the drug's pharmacokinetics, resulting in improved drug delivery to the tumor site while reducing toxicity in healthy tissues. This study aims to explore the effectiveness and safety of combining irinotecan liposome with nituzumab treatment for recurrent metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma that has not responded to initial immunotherapy. Participants selected for this clinical trial will receive a treatment regimen consisting of liposomal irinotecan administered intravenously at a dose of 70 mg/m2 on day 1, along with nituzumab given at a dose of 400 mg via intravenous injection on the same day. This treatment cycle will be repeated every two weeks for a maximum of eight cycles, or until disease progression, intolerable side effects, or other criteria necessitating discontinuation of treatment as determined by the investigator. By evaluating the efficacy and safety of this combined regimen, investigators aim to establish a novel therapeutic approach for managing advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma in the context of current immunotherapy advancements.
Dormant cancer cells that survive anti-cancer therapy can lead to cancer recurrence and disseminated metastases that prove fatal in most cases. Recently, specific dormant polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCC) have drawn our attention because of their association with the clinical risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) recurrence, as demonstrated by previous clinical data. In study, we report the biological properties of PGCC, and reveal that autophagy is a critical mechanism of PGCC induction. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of autophagy greatly impaired PGCC formation, significantly suppressing metastasis and improving survival in a mouse model. Mechanistically, chemotherapeutic drugs partly damaged mitochondria, and activated autophagy to promote PGCC formation. High numbers of PGCCs correlated with shorter recurrence time and worse survival outcomes in NPC patients. Collectively, these findings suggest a therapeutic approach of targeting dormant PGCCs in cancer. Pretreatment with an autophagy inhibitor (HCQ) before chemotherapy and radiotherapy could prevent formation of therapy-induced dormant polyploid giant cancer cells, thereby reducing recurrence and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
This is a single-center, single-arm ，open-label ，dose escalation and dose extension study. In this study we plan to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD70-targeting UCAR-T cells in the treatment of CD70-positive refractory or relapsed solid tumors, and obtain recommended doses and infusion patterns.
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.
This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, phase II clinical study. The study was intended to include patients with locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer identified by histology or cytology, who signed informed consent and met the screening criteria to enter the study. Patients will receive induction therapy (sintilimab + bevacizumab + gemcitabine, Q3W, 3 cycles) followed by IMRT+ Sintilimab. Consolidation therapy with sintilimab continued after radiotherapy until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, or the subject's decision to withdraw from the study, with a total treatment period of no more than 12 cycles.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate whether the previously developed artificial intelligence model can triage post-radiotherapy magnetic resonance images of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and assist radiologists in their interpretation.
