Scientists test drug duo to control Tough-to-Treat fat tissue cancers

NCT ID NCT04794127

Summary

This study tested whether adding a diabetes drug (pioglitazone) to a standard chemotherapy (trabectedin) could better control advanced liposarcoma, a rare cancer of fat tissue. It involved patients whose cancer had stopped responding to the standard drug alone. The goal was to see if the combination could shrink tumors or stop their growth more effectively.
