Spartalizumab and Low-dose PAzopanib in Refractory or Relapsed Solid TumOrs of Pediatric and Adults

Launched by UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, BORDEAUX · Jan 13, 2022

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring a new treatment approach for patients with solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies, known as refractory or relapsed solid tumors. The study is testing the combination of two medications: spartalizumab, an immunotherapy that helps the immune system fight cancer, and pazopanib, a drug that targets blood vessel growth in tumors. The trial includes two groups: one for pediatric patients aged 5 to 17 and another for adults aged 18 and older. Participants must have specific types of tumors and meet certain health criteria to be eligible, such as having measurable disease and adequate organ function.

Participants in the trial can expect to receive the medications on a set schedule and will be closely monitored for any side effects or changes in their condition. This study aims to find out if this combination treatment can improve outcomes for patients who have limited options left. It's important to note that all participants will need to provide informed consent, and those of childbearing age must take precautions to prevent pregnancy during and after the study. The trial is currently recruiting eligible participants, and anyone interested should discuss this opportunity with their healthcare provider.
