New cocktail therapy targets rare cancer after standard treatment fails

NCT ID NCT07518602

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of three drugs—chidamide, sintilimab, and bevacizumab—in 34 people with advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma that has worsened after first-line therapy. The goal is to see if this combo can shrink tumors or slow disease progression. Participants receive the drugs orally and intravenously over several weeks.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Chidamide (oral drug), Sintilimab (immunotherapy), Bevacizumab (anti-angiogenic drug)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma who have run out of standard options.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (34 people) with no control group, so results may not be definitive. The drug combination may cause side effects like immune-related reactions or bleeding risks.
