Tests treatment safety and results for Extrapulmonary Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (EP-NEC)
Official title Efficacy and Safety of Chidamide+Sintilimab+Bev as Second-Line Therapy in Advanced Extrapulmonary Neuroendocrine Carcinoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07518602
What this study is testing
What is Chidamide?
Chidamide is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma (ep-nec).
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
- This is a single-arm, multicenter phase Ⅱ study to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of chidamide + sintilimab + bevacizumab in subjects with advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma who have failed first-line standard therapy. The primary purpose is to assess the objective response rate (ORR) of chidamide + sintilimab + bevacizumab in the above-mentioned subjects, with a planned enrollment of 34 subjects with advanced extrapulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma who have failed first-line standard therapy.
- 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.
