NCT ID NCT06926634

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether the drug zanzalintinib, taken as a maintenance therapy after initial chemotherapy, can help delay cancer progression in people with high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms. About 32 participants will receive the drug and be monitored for how long their cancer stays under control. The goal is to see if this approach extends the time before the cancer worsens.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new maintenance option to delay cancer growth after initial chemotherapy for patients with high-grade neuroendocrine tumors.
