First test of new drug combo for rare bone cancer

NCT ID NCT01407198

Summary

This study tested whether adding an oral drug called nilotinib to standard radiation therapy was safe for people with high-risk chordoma, a rare type of bone cancer. The main goal was to find the highest safe dose of nilotinib when given alongside radiation. Researchers hoped the drug might help radiation work better against the tumor without causing too many side effects.
