Common cholesterol drug tested as potential cancer fighter

NCT ID NCT07213557

Summary

This study is testing if adding a common cholesterol-lowering drug, simvastatin, to standard first-line treatment helps control advanced stomach and esophageal cancer. It will enroll 84 patients who have a specific genetic change (ARID1A mutation) and have not had prior treatment. The goal is to see if the combination keeps the cancer from growing for a longer time compared to standard treatment alone.
