New hope for rare pancreatic cancer: experimental drug enters trial
NCT ID NCT07121478

Summary
This study tests a drug called lurbinectedin in people with high-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (a rare, fast-growing cancer) who have already tried standard treatments. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink tumors or stop them from growing. About 46 adults will take part in this Phase 2 trial.
