Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to investigate how Azenosertib, a drug not yet approved by the FDA for uterine serous carcinoma, affects cancer cells in patients whose cancer has returned or persisted. Azenosertib has shown promise in stopping cancer cell growth in other diseases. Participants will undergo various tests and scans, including X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and blood tests, to monitor the effects of the treatment. About 25 people are expected to participate in this study, which is supported by Zentalis Pharmaceuticals.
Description
This study is testing Azenosertib, a drug that may help stop the growth of cancer cells in patients with persistent or returning uterine serous carcinoma. Although Azenosertib is not yet approved for this type of cancer, it has shown potential in other conditions. Participants will be screened for eligibility and will undergo various medical tests, including imaging scans and blood tests, to monitor their response to the treatment. The study involves regular visits for treatment and assessments. Zentalis Pharmaceuticals is providing the study drug for this research.
