Scientists target Cancer's food supply in new treatment trial

NCT ID NCT03449901

Summary

This study tested whether adding a new drug called ADI-PEG20 to standard chemotherapy could better control advanced soft tissue sarcomas and some other cancers. The new drug works by cutting off a nutrient some cancer cells need to survive, potentially making the chemotherapy more effective. The trial involved 98 people with cancers that had spread or couldn't be removed by surgery.
