New drug hope for rare salivary gland cancer
NCT ID NCT05074940
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
