Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether amivantamab can shrink tumors or slow disease in 21 people with recurrent or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare salivary gland cancer. Participants receive weekly or biweekly infusions of the drug. The main goal is to see how many patients respond, with secondary measures of progression-free survival and safety.

What this could mean

Active substance

amivantamab

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma that has stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 21 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not shrink tumors or improve survival, and side effects are possible.
