Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a malignant carcinoma arising from the epithelium of the nasopharynx. Per the certified disease definition in this packet, recognized histological types include keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma, nonkeratinizing carcinoma (differentiated and undifferentiated), basaloid squamous cell carcinoma, and papillary adenocarcinoma. Prevalence is recorded as unknown in this packet. An FDA-approved treatment and numerous active clinical trials are documented in this packet.
No known gene associations, inheritance patterns, or molecular mechanism data are certified in this packet for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Etiologic and genetic information is not certifiable from packet data and is therefore not described here.
No diagnostic methods are certified in this packet for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Diagnostic criteria, laboratory findings, and imaging protocols are not certifiable from packet data and are therefore not described here. No newborn screening information is applicable to this condition.
LOQTORZI (toripalimab-tpzi) is the FDA-approved treatment recorded in this packet (BLA, CDER, approved October 2023, market status ACTIVE). No foundational therapies, additional approved drugs, or patient assistance programs are certified in this packet. Investigational approaches documented in this packet include orphan-designated agents: an EBV-targeting cellular immunotherapy, a CAR-T cell product directed against EBV glycoprotein 350, and the nanatinostat plus valganciclovir combination (all carry DESIGNATED status only — not FDA approval). All designated agents listed represent investigational candidates, not currently available treatments.
291 trials found
No natural history data, survival data, or prognostic information is certified in this packet for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Prognosis is not certifiable from the available packet data.
