Hormone cocktail aims to stop rare salivary cancer recurrence
NCT ID NCT06348264
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether a combination of rezvilutamide (a hormone-blocking pill) and standard hormone therapy can prevent high-risk salivary duct cancer from returning after surgery and radiation. About 37 participants with androgen receptor-positive cancer will receive the treatment for up to 2 years. The main goal is to see how many remain cancer-free after 3 years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Rezvilutamide (a hormone-blocking drug) plus leuprolide acetate (a hormone therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a new way to lower the risk of cancer returning in people with high-risk salivary duct cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 37 participants and no comparison group, so results may not be definitive. Hormone therapy can cause side effects like hot flashes, fatigue, and sexual changes.
