New combo attack on rare bone cancer tests safety

NCT ID NCT02989636

Summary

This early-phase study is checking the safety of combining an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) with a very precise, high-dose radiation treatment for patients whose chordoma has come back or spread. It will enroll about 21 people to see how well they tolerate the treatments and to get early signs of whether the combination helps control the cancer. The main goal is to identify any serious side effects before testing if the approach works better than standard care.
