Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients with histologically confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma of the small intestine or appendix who have failed at least one prior treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with other histological types of cancer or those who have not received prior treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a combination of Surufatinib, Sintilimab, and Capecitabine in patients with previously treated metastatic adenocarcinoma of the small intestine or appendix. It is a single-arm, single-center Phase 2 trial that aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose of Surufatinib alongside fixed doses of Sintilimab and Capecitabine using a dose escalation method. The trial focuses on patients who have experienced disease progression after standard therapies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the small intestine or appendix who have limited treatment options.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is being explored in this specific context, similar combinations have shown promise in other cancer types, indicating potential for success.
