New drug tested to protect fertility in women with rare tumors

NCT ID NCT07176689

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

Summary

This study tests the drug nirogacestat in 50 premenopausal women with desmoid tumors (a type of non-cancerous but aggressive growth). The main goal is to see if the drug affects ovarian function, such as menstrual periods and hormone levels. Participants take nirogacestat orally, and researchers monitor for any temporary or lasting changes in fertility.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

nirogacestat (oral tablet)

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could show that nirogacestat is safe for ovarian function, allowing younger women with desmoid tumors to preserve fertility while controlling their disease.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with no placebo group, so results may not apply broadly. The drug may still cause ovarian toxicity or other side effects.
