Scientists test drug duo to fight tough cancers

NCT ID NCT02379416

Summary

This early-stage trial tested whether combining two cancer drugs—nilotinib and paclitaxel—is safe for people with advanced solid tumors that haven't responded to standard treatments. Researchers enrolled 47 adults and some teenagers to find the highest dose that could be given safely. The study focused on safety and how the drugs work together in the body, not on whether they effectively shrink tumors.
