Filter by:Nimotuzumab is an IgG1 humanized monoclonal antibody that recognized an epitope located in the extra cellular domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Clinical trials are ongoing globally to evaluate nimotuzumab in different indications. Nimotuzumab has been granted approval for use in squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN), glioma and nasopharyngeal cancer in different countries. The Clinical efficacy has been shown in adult with head and neck cancer. The study assessed the clinical efficacy, and safety of the combination of Nimotuzumab administered concomitantly with chemotherapy and radiotherapy in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer.
1. To determine the association between LVD and clinico-pathologic variables in archived colorectal cancer and Nasopharyngeal carcinoma specimens 2. To determine the association between VEGF-C,-D expression with COX-2 expression and clinico-pathologic variables in colorectal cancer and Nasopharyngeal carcinoma 3. To determine the effect of celecoxib on lymphangiogenesis in Nasopharyngeal carcinoma Lymphangiogenesis and factors modulating lymphangiogenesis are associated with clinico-pathological outcome in Nasopharyngeal carcinoma and colorectal cancer. Celecoxib down-regulates lymphangiogenesis Archival colorectal cancer and Nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumor specimens will be obtained from the Department of Pathology. To determine the effect of celecoxib on lymphangiogenesis in Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the investigators intend to analyze archived specimens collected in a previously conducted study. Colorectal tumor and nodal specimens and Nasopharyngeal carcinoma primary will be examined for MVD, LVD and growth factor expression using established haematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemical techniques. Quantification of LVD and MVD shall be performed by two pathologists blinded to clinico-pathological variables using standardised methods.
This study is aimed to estimate the effectiveness of an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) serology-based screening program to reduce nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) mortality in a cluster randomized controlled trial in an NPC high-risk population. Sixteen towns in Sihui and Zhongshan Cities, China will be selected, with eight allocated to the screening group and eight to the control group. Cantonese residents aged 30-69 years with no history of NPC will be included. Residents in the screening towns will be invited to undergo serum EBV VCA/EBNA1 IgA antibody tests.
The purpose of this study is to compare concurrent chemoradiotherapy plus adjuvant chemotherapy with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locoregionally advanced NPC, in order to evaluate the value of adjuvant chemotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients.
To test the therapeutic ratio of additional chemotheray on advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
MULTICENTRIC INTERNATIONAL RANDOMIZED PHASE III TRIAL COMPARING, NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY (BEC REGIMEN) FOLLOWED BY STANDARD RADIOTHERAPY (70 Gy / 7 WEEKS) VERSUS THE SAME NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY FOLLOWED BY STANDARD RADIOTHERAPY ASSOCIATED WITH DAILY HYDROXYUREA IN THE TREATMENT OF LOCALLY ADVANCED UNDIFFERENTIATED CARCINOMA NASOPHARYNGEAL TYPE (UCNT).
