Promising drug targets rare cancer in small trial

NCT ID NCT07104331

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing a drug called nab-sirolimus in 41 people with a rare cancer called epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) that is growing or causing symptoms. The drug is given through an IV twice per cycle. The main goal is to see if it can shrink tumors. Researchers will also track how long the benefit lasts and how long people live without the cancer getting worse.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

nab-sirolimus (a form of the drug sirolimus, given as an IV infusion)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with EHE, a rare blood vessel cancer, by slowing or shrinking tumors.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 41 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects like mouth sores or low blood counts, and it may not shrink tumors enough to be considered effective.
