Scientists test MS drug to boost cancer treatment before surgery
NCT ID NCT07171203
Summary
This early-stage study aims to find a safe dose of fampridine (a multiple sclerosis drug) when combined with the cancer drug imatinib (Gleevec) for patients with a specific type of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Researchers want to see if this two-drug combination is more effective against tumors before surgery. The study will enroll 18 adults with newly diagnosed, localized GIST tumors that have not yet been treated.
