Early trial tests drug combo to halt advanced cancer growth

NCT ID NCT02321501

Summary

This early-stage study aims to find the safest and most effective dose of two oral medications, ceritinib and everolimus, when used together. It involves adults with advanced solid tumors or a specific type of lung cancer (ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer) that has spread and stopped responding to other treatments. The main goal is to understand the side effects and how well the body processes the drugs, while also looking for early signs that the combination can slow or stop tumor growth.
