First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 36 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests the safety and potential benefits of the drug AL101 given before standard surgery for people with a rare salivary gland cancer called adenoid cystic carcinoma that has a specific genetic change (NOTCH activation). The study involves 14 adults whose cancer can be surgically removed. AL101 works by blocking enzymes that help cancer cells grow, and researchers hope it may help control the disease before surgery.
