Cabozantinib to Treat Recurrent Liver Cancer Post Transplant

RecruitingPhase 2Ages 18 Years - anyAllUniversity Health Network, Toronto
๐Ÿ’ฌ

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a phase 2 study that will assess the investigational drug, cabozantinib, in patients with liver cancer (specifically hepatocellular carcinoma) and who had received a liver transplant as a part of curative care, but the cancer has come back (recurred). The purpose of this study is to see how useful cabozantinib is in controlling the disease of these patients. Cabozantinib blocks the function of various proteins found on the surface of the body's cells (called receptor tyrosine kinases) that are important in the development of cancer tumors. All participants will receive cabozantinib until they are no longer receiving benefit from the study drug or they experience an intolerable side effect.
