NCT ID NCT07522879

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of two drugs—becotatug vedotin (a targeted antibody-drug conjugate) and epirubicin (a standard chemo)—in 40 people with EGFR-positive, recurrent sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma that cannot be surgically removed. The goal is to shrink the tumor enough to allow radical surgery. The study measures how many patients respond and whether they can then undergo successful tumor removal.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Becotatug vedotin (MRG003) combined with epirubicin

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could shrink tumors enough to allow surgical removal, potentially improving disease control and survival for a rare cancer with few options.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (40 people) with no control group. The drugs may cause side effects like nerve damage or heart toxicity, and the response rate may be too low to enable surgery.
