Study Summary

This trial examines the safety and effects of a new drug on people with a rare tumor.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with desmoid tumors/aggressive fibromatosis who have either not been treated or whose tumors grew after treatment. They must be able to swallow tablets, sign consent, and have a tumor that can be measured. Participants need proper liver, kidney, and bone marrow function and agree to use contraception. Excluded are pregnant/breastfeeding women, those with certain health conditions or treatments that could interfere with the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing nirogacestat's safety and effects on patients with desmoid tumors. About 40 participants will receive this investigational drug to see how well it works against their tumors which have shown growth despite previous treatments or in those untreated.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of nirogacestat aren't listed here, similar drugs may cause digestive issues, fatigue, liver problems, blood disorders and increase infection risk. Animal studies suggest potential risks during pregnancy.
