This trial tests whether adjusting adjuvant therapy based on changes in EBV DNA and MRI findings after radiotherapy helps improve outcomes for people with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
-
Immune Sandwich: Induction with Nimotuzumab and Toripalimab Plus Radiotherapy vs Full-Course Immunotherapy for Advanced Nasopharyngeal Cancer
This trial tests whether a shortened, targeted immunotherapy plan added to chemoradiation can match the full immunotherapy approach for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer in adults 18–70.
-
RAIRI-guided risk-stratified adjuvant therapy after chemoradiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
This real-world study tests whether the RAIRI model can predict who will benefit from adjuvant therapy after chemoradiotherapy for non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
-
RAIRI-guided adjuvant therapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma
This trial tests whether using the RAIRI risk model to guide adjuvant therapy after chemoradiotherapy can spare some patients unnecessary treatment in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
-
Taurine to help prevent and treat mouth ulcers from radiation in NPC
This study tests whether taurine can help prevent and lessen severe radiation-induced oral mucositis in adults with newly diagnosed nasopharyngeal carcinoma receiving radiotherapy.
-
Becotatug vedotin plus sintilimab with chemoradiation for high-risk nasopharyngeal carcinoma
This trial tests whether adding becotatug vedotin before treatment and giving sintilimab with chemoradiation helps people with high‑risk locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma live longer and avoid recurrence.
-
Proton versus photon radiation for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial will test whether proton radiation (IMPT) or standard photon IMRT causes fewer severe side effects and improves 3-year progression-free survival for adults with newly diagnosed, high-risk locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer who receive induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy with i
-
Lower-dose versus standard-dose radiation with concurrent chemoimmunotherapy for advanced nasopharyngeal cancer after a strong response to induction treatment
This trial tests whether giving lower-dose radiation alongside ongoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy works as well as standard-dose radiation for people with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer who had a strong response and undetectable EBV DNA after induction chemoimmunotherapy.
-
Sapylin versus inhaled dexamethasone to prevent painful mouth sores during chemoradiation for nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial will test whether Sapylin given as an inhaled spray works better than inhaled dexamethasone at preventing or reducing radiation-induced mouth sores in adults with stage III–IVA nasopharyngeal cancer receiving concurrent chemoradiation with cisplatin.
-
Individualized neck irradiation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
This trial will test whether tailoring how far the neck is radiated based on each patient's lymph node spread works as well as standard broader neck radiation for adults with newly diagnosed, non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
-
High-low dose radiation plus anti-PD-1 followed by full-course radiation for recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer
This approach tests whether a short induction of mixed low- and high-dose radiation with an anti-PD-1 drug, followed by full-course radiation and immunotherapy maintenance, can shrink recurrent nasopharyngeal cancer in patients who cannot have surgery.
-
Reduced-target versus full-target IMRT after chemo and immunotherapy for metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer
This trial will test whether smaller (reduced-target) radiotherapy after first-line chemo plus immunotherapy works as well as standard full-target radiotherapy for people with newly diagnosed distant metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer who responded to initial treatment.
-
Precise Guidance of Adaptive Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
This study uses PET/CT imaging with two tracers to see if they can better stage NPC and predict early response to neoadjuvant immunotherapy in adults with newly diagnosed NPC.
-
Toripalimab with induction chemo, radiation, and Omega-3 for locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer
This study tests whether adding toripalimab and Omega-3 to induction chemotherapy and radiation helps patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
-
Iparomlimab and Tuvonralimab plus nimotuzumab for recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma after first-line treatment failure
This will try combining two immune-targeting drugs, iparomlimab and tuvonralimab, with the antibody nimotuzumab to see if it helps people with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer whose first-line cisplatin-based treatment has failed.
-
Nutritional management during chemoradiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer
This study will test whether an immune‑enhancing oral nutritional supplement given throughout concurrent chemoradiotherapy helps adults with stage II–IVa nasopharyngeal cancer maintain weight, preserve lymphocyte counts, and reduce treatment side effects.
-
International registry for very rare childhood tumors
This project will collect detailed medical information to see how clinical and biological features affect outcomes in children and adolescents with very rare tumors.
-
SSTR2 PET/CT imaging with 68Ga-DOTA-TOC for nasopharyngeal cancer
We will test whether 68Ga‑DOTA‑TOC PET/CT scans can detect SSTR2 in adults with EBV‑positive nasopharyngeal cancer before and three weeks after starting chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.
-
Optimizing screening methods for nasopharyngeal carcinoma using EBV biomarkers
This study is testing new ways to screen for nasopharyngeal cancer using blood tests for certain virus markers to see if they work better than the current methods for people at high risk.
-
HLX43 for recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma after multiple prior treatments
This trial will test whether the anti‑PD‑L1 antibody–drug conjugate HLX43 can help adults with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma who have not responded to or cannot tolerate at least two prior systemic therapies including prior PD‑1/PD‑L1 treatment.
-
Hypofractionated radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
This study is testing a new type of radiation treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer to see if it works better and is safer than the usual methods.
-
NPC Screening Cohort in South China
This study tests a comprehensive screening approach to identify nasopharyngeal carcinoma in adults aged 30-69 who live in NPC-endemic regions by combining EBV tests, questionnaires, and clinical exams.
-
