Study on Copanlisib for Treating Cancers with PTEN Loss
Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06360588
This clinical trial is testing how well the drug copanlisib works in treating patients with cancers that have lost a protein called PTEN. Copanlisib may help stop cancer cells from growing by blocking certain enzymes they need.

Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to see if copanlisib can effectively treat cancers that have lost the PTEN protein. This drug might help stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking enzymes they need to grow. Patients will receive copanlisib through an IV on specific days of each treatment cycle, which repeats every 28 days as long as the cancer does not progress or cause severe side effects. Throughout the study, patients will have tumor biopsies, imaging tests, and blood samples taken to monitor their response to the treatment. After finishing the treatment, patients will have follow-up visits every few months for up to three years.
Description
The main goal of this study is to see how many patients respond to copanlisib treatment. Researchers will also look at how long patients live without their cancer getting worse and identify any markers that might predict how well the treatment works. Patients will receive copanlisib through an IV on specific days of each 28-day cycle. They will have regular check-ups, including tumor biopsies and imaging tests, to see how the treatment is working. After completing the treatment, patients will have follow-up visits every few months for up to three years to monitor their health and any changes in their cancer.
