What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether a personalized radiation plan, which expands the treatment area based on each patient's tumor margins, can control nasopharyngeal cancer as well as the standard approach. The study includes 568 adults with newly diagnosed, non-metastatic disease. Participants receive standard therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation alone depending on tumor stage) but with either the individualized or standard radiation targeting. The goal is to see if the personalized method maintains local tumor control while possibly reducing complications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Individualized radiation therapy (IMRT with personalized target volume)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a more precise radiation treatment for nasopharyngeal cancer, potentially reducing side effects while maintaining disease control.
What could go wrong
This is a non-inferiority trial, meaning it aims to show the new method is not worse than the standard. There is a risk it may not be as effective, or benefits may be small.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age: 18 Years to 65 Years. 2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤1. 3. Patients with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed nasopharyngeal carcinoma (non-keratinizing subtype). 4. Tumor staged as T1-4N0-3M0 (AJCC 9th). 5. Patients must sign informed consent and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of visits, treatment, laboratory tests and other research requirements stipulated in the research schedule. 6. Women of childbearing potential and male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential must agree to use reliable contraceptive measures from screening to 1 year after treatment. 7. For subjects requiring chemotherapy, the following are additionally required: 1. normal bone marrow function (white blood cell count \> 4 × 10\^9/L, hemoglobin \> 90 g/L, platelet count \> 100 × 10\^9/L); 2. normal liver and kidney function (total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal, alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal, alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal, creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 mL/min). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Active tuberculosis: active tuberculosis within the past 1 year should be excluded regardless of treatment; a history of active tuberculosis \> 1 year ago is exclusionary unless prior adequate anti-tuberculosis treatment is documented. 2. Active infection requiring systemic treatment. 3. Previous or concurrent with other malignant tumors, except for adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ and thyroid papillary cancer. 4. History of radiotherapy, except for non-melanoma skin cancer located outside the target volume of radiotherapy for nasophayngeal carcinoma. 5. Prior or concurrent treatment for local or regional disease other than that specified in the research plan. 6. Pregnant or lactating women (a pregnancy test is required for women of childbearing potential). 7. Contraindications to MRI examination, for example: claustrophobia, allergy to MRI contrast. 8. History of psychiatric disorders, alcoholism or drug abuse, and other situations assessed by the investigators that may compromise the safety or compliance of patients, such as serious disease requiring timely treatment (including mental illness), severe laboratory abnormalities, or family-social risk factors. 9. For participants requiring chemotherapy, the following must also be excluded: 1. anti-human immunodeficiency virus positive or diagnosed with acquired immune deficiency syndrome; 2. uncontrolled heart disease (heart failure \[NYHA Class ≥ 2\], unstable angina, myocardial infarction in past 1 year, supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment or intervention). 10. For participants requiring immunotherapy, the following must also be excluded: 1. hepatitis B virus surface antigen positive and Hepatitis B virus DNA \> 1000 copies/mL; 2. anti-hepatitis C virus positive; 3. active, known or suspected autoimmune disease (including but not limited to uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, pituitary disease, nephritis, vasculitis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and asthma requiring bronchodilators, exceptions are type I diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism not requiring hormone replacement therapy, skin disorders not requiring systemic treatment \[such as vitiligo, psoriasis or alopecia\]); 4. previous interstitial lung disease or pneumonia requiring oral or intravenous steroid therapy; 5. chronic treatment with systemic glucocorticoid (dose equivalent to or over 10 mg prednisone per day, subjects who use inhaled or topical corticosteroids are eligible) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy; 6. allergy to macromolecular protein preparations, or any component of PD-1 monoclonal antibody; 7. receiving live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of PD-1 monoclonal antibody.
