A Phase Ia/Ib Study of the Combination of the FGFR Inhibitor Pemigatinib and the EGFR Inhibitor Afatinib in Advanced Refractory Solid Tumors

What is this study?

This study is testing a combination of two targeted medicines, Afatinib and Pemigatinib, to see if they can effectively shrink advanced solid tumors that have specific genetic changes. The goal is to find the right dosage that is both safe and helpful for patients whose cancer has not responded to other treatments.

Who can participate?

You may be eligible if you are at least 18 years old and have an advanced tumor that has been shown by testing to have a specific FGFR gene mutation. Participants must be able to swallow pills and remain physically active enough to carry out daily tasks.

What will happen?

You will receive the study drugs as pills and will be closely monitored by the research team to ensure you are tolerating the medication well. Because this is a dose-finding study, you will have regular check-ups to track how your cancer responds to the treatment and to manage any potential side effects.

Where and when?

This study is currently recruiting participants and is taking place in Boston, Massachusetts. If you are interested, a clinical trial coordinator can help you determine if this location is a good fit for you.

Key Points
  • 1This trial combines two targeted therapies to block signals that help cancer cells grow.
  • 2It is designed for patients with advanced or metastatic tumors that have an FGFR genetic change.
  • 3Participation involves regular monitoring to help researchers determine the safest and most effective dose.
