New treatment option for High Grade Neuroendocrine Neoplasms
Official title Zanzalintinib Maintenance in Patients With High Grade Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (HG-NENs)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06926634
What this study is testing
What is Zanzalintinib?
Zanzalintinib is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for high grade neuroendocrine neoplasms.
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 hypothesize that zanzalintinib maintenance therapy after initial cytotoxic chemotherapy can prolong the progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with high-grade NENs.
- 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.
