Experimental cancer drug DS-9606a tested in early trial, but stopped early
Disease control Stopped earlyThis early-phase study tested an experimental drug called DS-9606a in 88 people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific protein (Claudin-6). The main goal was to check safety and find the right dose. The trial was terminated, meaning it stopped before completion, so we ha…

Targeted pill shows promise for rare lung cancer, but trial stopped early
Disease control Stopped earlyThis phase 3 study tested a new drug called pralsetinib against standard chemotherapy for people with a specific type of advanced lung cancer that has a RET gene fusion. The goal was to see if pralsetinib could better delay cancer growth. The trial was terminated early, so full r…
