Summary

This phase 1 trial tested the combination of dasatinib (a pill) and bevacizumab (an infusion) in 50 adults with advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard treatments. The goal was to find the safest dose and see how well the two drugs work together to slow cancer growth. Participants were monitored closely for side effects and tumor response.

dasatinib and bevacizumab

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a new treatment option for advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 1 trial with only 50 participants, so the combination may prove too toxic or not effective enough to move forward. Side effects from both drugs are possible.
