Summary

This study tested the drug TAS-102 in 14 people with a rare and aggressive type of cancer called high-grade neuroendocrine cancer that started outside the lungs. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors and improve survival. The study was stopped early, so results are limited, but researchers hoped TAS-102 might offer a new treatment option for this hard-to-treat cancer.
