NCT ID NCT07235319

First seen Nov 19, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving radiation only when needed (salvage) is as effective as giving it right away after immunotherapy and chemotherapy in people with nasopharyngeal cancer that has spread. About 260 adults aged 18-70 with untreated, metastatic disease will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The goal is to see if delaying radiation can reduce side effects without shortening survival.
