A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase II clinical trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of HG146 in patients suffering from recurrent or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma. The study will enroll participants in two stages, starting with 40 individuals to gather initial efficacy and safety data, followed by an additional 100 participants based on the results of the first stage. The trial is open-label and non-randomized, allowing for a direct evaluation of the treatment's impact on the disease. Participants will be monitored for disease progression and overall health throughout the study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced adenoid cystic carcinoma.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is being evaluated in this specific context, similar studies targeting adenoid cystic carcinoma have shown promise, indicating potential for success.
