New treatment option for Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
Official title A Study of Becotatug Vedotin (MRG003) Combined With Epirubicin as Neoadjuvant Therapy for EGFR-Positive, Unresectable Recurrent Sinonasal Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07522879
What this study is testing
What is Becotatug Vedotin?
Becotatug Vedotin is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for adenoid cystic carcinoma.
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 prospective, multicenter clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with MRG003 (Becotatug vedotin) combined with epirubicin in patients with EGFR-positive, unresectable recurrent sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma (SNACC). The primary question is whether this combination can achieve a sufficient objective response rate (ORR) to enable subsequent radical surgery or improve disease control.
- 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.
