NCT ID NCT06241612

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether giving radiation only to specific neck areas based on where cancer has spread can reduce side effects and improve quality of life for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. About 470 newly diagnosed patients will receive either standard or personalized neck radiation. The goal is to maintain cancer control while lowering radiation-related harm.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a more precise radiation approach that reduces side effects and improves quality of life for nasopharyngeal cancer patients.

This is a Phase 3 trial, but the approach is still experimental. It may not reduce side effects as hoped, or could slightly increase the risk of cancer returning.
