New hope for rare stomach cancer patients as targeted drug trial opens

NCT ID NCT07434843

Summary

This study is testing whether the drug pemigatinib can help control advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that have a specific genetic deficiency called SDH. About 24 adults with this rare tumor type who have already tried other treatments will take the drug daily in 21-day cycles. Researchers will measure how well the tumors shrink and monitor side effects to see if this targeted approach works for this specific cancer type.
