New hope for rare adrenal cancer: drug trial launches
NCT ID NCT07282587
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing a drug called ONC206 in 90 people with advanced pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma, rare tumors of the adrenal glands. Participants must have tumors that cannot be removed by surgery and have not responded to or cannot have standard treatments. The study will measure how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear, and how long that effect lasts.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ONC206 (a drug taken by mouth)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with rare adrenal tumors that have stopped responding to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not shrink tumors or could cause side effects.
