New treatment option for Neuroendocrine Carcinomas
Official title A First-in-Human Phase I Trial With Antibody Drug Conjugate ADCT-701 in Neuroendocrine Tumors, Carcinomas and Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06041516
What this study is testing
What is ADCT-701?
ADCT-701 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for neuroendocrine carcinomas.
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
- Background: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare cancers in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, lungs, adrenal glands, and other areas of the body. Many of these cancers have a high risk of relapse and a low chance of survival.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
- Time commitment: about 5 years
