Study summary

All participants will be tested for EBV-related biomarkers, including EBNA1-IgA, VCA-IgA, and BNLF2b total antibody (P85-Ab), and participants with high serologic risk will be selected based on serologic test results, and dual-energy CT will be performed first for high-risk screening subjects, and dual-energy CT will be performed first for the high-risk group to record dual-energy CT examinations of those suspected of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and then endoscopy was performed on the high-risk group to record those suspected of nasopharyngeal carcinoma under endoscopy, and finally biopsies were taken for positive lesion sites indicated by dual-energy CT and suspicious lesion sites found by endoscopy to clarify the diagnosis.

Study population

30-69 years old healthy residences in Zhongshan City

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subject residents in Zhongshan City
  • Subject has no medical record of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
  • Subject is able to comprehend, sign, and date the written document to participate in the study
  • Subject has psychical condition and well consciousness, and also accept and cooperate with the follow-up of this study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has heavy cardiovascular, liver or kidney disease
  • Subject has to nasopharyngeal endoscopy
  • Subject has contrast media allergy
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Sensitivity and specificity of dual-energy CT and endoscopy in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

    To compare the sensitivity \[actual number of nasopharyngeal cancers in the population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy / (actual number of nasopharyngeal cancers in the population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy + number of nasopharyngeal cancers in the non-nasopharyngeal cancer population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy)\] and specificity \[actual number of non-nasopharyngeal cancers in the population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy / ( actual number of non-nasopharyngeal cancers in the population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy + number of non-nasopharyngeal cancers in the nasopharyngeal cancer population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy)\] of dual-energy CT and endoscopy in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to determine which test is more accurate in detecting nasopharyngeal carcinoma from the population

    Time frame: 6 months

  2. Positive and negative predictive values of dual-energy CT and endoscopy in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

    To compare the positive predictive value \[actual number of nasopharyngeal cancers in the population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy / (actual number of nasopharyngeal cancers in the population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy + number of non-nasopharyngeal cancers in the nasopharyngeal cancer population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy )\] and negative predictive value \[actual number of non-nasopharyngeal cancers in the population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy / (actual number of non-nasopharyngeal cancers in the population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy + number of nasopharyngeal cancers in the non-nasopharyngeal cancer population considered by dual-energy CT or endoscopy)\] of dual-energy CT and endoscopy in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Feb 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2026, 46 months after the start.

Of 52 observational studies under Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, half reached primary completion within 55 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 36 and three quarters within 155. This study's planned 46 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 15, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
