Extra pill after treatment could stop deadly head & neck Cancer's return

NCT ID NCT07248670

Summary

This study is for people with a specific, high-risk type of nasopharyngeal cancer (a cancer in the upper throat). All participants get the standard treatment of chemotherapy and radiation together. For those whose blood tests still show signs of the cancer virus during treatment, the study randomly assigns them to either take a low-dose oral chemotherapy pill (capecitabine) for a period after standard treatment or to just be observed. The goal is to see if this extra pill helps keep the cancer from coming back and improves survival.
