Targeted drug trial offers new hope for Tough-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT04439136
Summary
This study is testing whether a drug called afatinib can help people with advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change called a HER2 mutation. The drug works by blocking a protein that helps cancer cells grow. Researchers are enrolling about 40 patients whose cancers have stopped responding to standard treatments to see if afatinib can shrink their tumors or stop the cancer from growing.
