Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma clinical trials
The registry lists 683 studies for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma across more than 10 countries. 270 are recruiting or about to start. 612 of them are mainly about Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (how this is decided). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-13.
ClinicalTrials.gov finds 1,138 studies for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. How that becomes 681 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, and those it files under no condition that list Nasopharyngeal Carcinomathemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count
- 1,138Found by its condition searchIt reads the conditions a study lists and their synonyms, and also titles and keywords.
- −4List Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma as a condition, but the registry did not file them under itMost often written as “Can Undertake Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Specimens in the Materia,” (1), “Patients Receiving Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Diagnosis” (1), and “Otitis Media With Effusion After Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma” (1). The registry filed them under other conditions only, most often Nasopharyngeal Neoplasms (2) and Deglutition Disorders (1).
- −453Match it another way128 name it in the title and 325 by a synonym or other text the search reads.
- 681The count on this page32 of them list Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in their own words; the registry filed them under no condition.

How long Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma studies take
Of 143 phase 2 interventional studies under Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, half reached primary completion within 43 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 47 mo37–75 · 28 studies | — | — |
| Phase 2 | 43 mo28–65 · 143 studies | — | 49 mo31–74 · 128 studies |
| Phase 3 | 69 mo51–82 · 84 studies | — | — |
| Interventional, no phase | 45 mo22–… · 49 studies | — | — |
| Observational | 55 mo36–155 · 52 studies | — | — |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
