ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is exploring a new treatment approach for patients with solid tumors, such as colorectal, breast, lung, and ovarian cancers. The study is testing a combination of two targeted therapies: Palbociclib, which helps stop cancer cells from growing, and Bevacizumab, which prevents tumors from developing their own blood supply. The aim is to see if using these two drugs together can improve treatment outcomes and reduce side effects. Additionally, the trial will look at specific markers in the body, called Long Non-Coding RNAs (LncRNAs), to help personalize treatment for each patient based on their unique cancer characteristics.
To participate in this trial, individuals must be 18 years or older and be diagnosed with certain types of advanced cancer (stage III or IV). They should not have a history of certain other health conditions, including blood cancers or autoimmune diseases. If you join the trial, you will receive close monitoring and care throughout the study, and you may benefit from a treatment plan tailored to your specific cancer type. This innovative approach aims to provide better results for patients facing these challenging cancers.
