New drug hope for advanced skin cancer patients

NCT ID NCT05070403

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether the drug afatinib can shrink tumors in people with advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (a type of skin cancer) that cannot be treated with surgery or radiation. About 25 adults with adequate organ function will receive afatinib, and researchers will measure how many respond and how long they live without the cancer growing. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it.
