New pill targets rare cancer gene in 30-Patient trial
NCT ID NCT07359820
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests an oral drug called lirafugratinib in 30 adults with advanced solid tumors (excluding bile duct cancer) that have an FGFR2 gene fusion or rearrangement. Participants take the drug regularly and visit the clinic for checkups. The main goal is to see if the drug shrinks tumors and is safe.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- lirafugratinib (a targeted oral drug that blocks FGFR2)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with certain hard-to-treat cancers that have an FGFR2 gene change.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may cause side effects or not shrink tumors as hoped.
