New chemo cocktail targets rare small bowel tumors

NCT ID NCT06835387

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a four-drug chemotherapy combination called NALIRIFOX in 36 adults with advanced small bowel adenocarcinoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The drugs are given intravenously on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle for up to 6 cycles, followed by a milder maintenance treatment. The main goal is to see how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

NALIRIFOX (nanoliposomal irinotecan, oxaliplatin, fluorouracil, and folinic acid)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option to shrink or control advanced small bowel tumors that cannot be removed by surgery.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Chemotherapy side effects like nausea, nerve damage, and low blood counts are expected risks.
