Is NCT05305131 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including cisplatin and gemcitabine and induction chemotherapy cisplatin, gemcitabine, bevacizumab and pembrolizumab. for nasopharyngeal cancer.

Phase 2RecruitingNational University Hospital, SingaporeNCT05305131Data as of May 2026

Treatment: cisplatin and gemcitabine · induction chemotherapy cisplatin, gemcitabine, bevacizumab and pembrolizumab.The investigators hypothesize that the addition of bevacizumab and pembrolizumab to induction cisplatin and gemcitabine is tolerable and improves metabolic complete response (mCR), relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) compared to induction cisplatin and gemcitabine in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC)
