Who might be able to join this trial:

  • People who have been fully informed about the study and have signed a consent form agreeing to take part
  • People aged between 18 and 75 years
  • People who have been confirmed by tissue testing to have a specific type of nasopharyngeal cancer (a cancer at the back of the nose/throat) classified as non-keratinising, either differentiated or undifferentiated (also called WHO type II or III)
  • People whose cancer has been staged as Stage II according to a specific international staging system (the 9th edition AJCC/UICC classification), covering certain combinations of tumour and lymph node involvement with no spread to distant parts of the body
  • People with a performance status score of 70 or above on the KPS scale, meaning they are able to carry out normal activity with some effort (confirm with trial site)
  • People with blood test results showing the bone marrow is working well enough — including white blood cell count, platelet count, and haemoglobin levels within required ranges (confirm with trial site for exact values)
  • People whose cancer scans after three cycles of a specific combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy show either a complete response (cancer not visible) or a partial response (cancer has shrunk)
  • People whose blood test for a virus marker called EBV DNA has dropped to an undetectable level after the initial chemotherapy treatment
  • People with liver and kidney function test results within acceptable ranges, as measured by specific blood tests (confirm with trial site for exact values)

Who may not be able to join:

  • People whose nasopharyngeal cancer has come back after previous treatment or has spread to other parts of the body
  • People who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • People who have had another type of cancer in the past, unless it was successfully treated and falls into specific categories such as certain skin cancers, early-stage cervical cancer, localised prostate cancer, or a non-invasive breast condition (confirm with trial site)
  • People whose cancer in the head and neck area has already been treated with radiation therapy or surgery (other than a biopsy for diagnosis), or where the tumour has significant tissue breakdown that could make radiation therapy unsuitable
  • People with other serious health conditions that could make participation risky or difficult, such as unstable heart disease, serious kidney or liver disease, poorly controlled diabetes, severe mental health conditions, or another active cancer
  • People who have had a serious allergic reaction to any PD-1 immunotherapy drug (a type of cancer immune treatment) in the past
  • People who have had a serious allergic reaction to any of the chemotherapy drugs used in this trial, including gemcitabine, docetaxel, albumin-bound paclitaxel, paclitaxel, or cisplatin
