New treatment option for Gastric Cancer
Official title Cabozantinib Plus Durvalumab With or Without Tremelimumab in Patients With Gastroesophageal Cancer and Other Gastrointestinal Malignancies
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03539822
What this study is testing
What is Cabozantinib?
Cabozantinib is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for gastric cancer.
Also referred to as multi-tyrosine kinase Inhibitor.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The investigators propose to evaluate the safety of drug combinations in patients with advanced gastroesophageal cancer and other gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. Finding effective novel therapies for patients with advanced gastric cancer and other GI malignancies is an area of great unmet need.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
