New tests and treatments aren’t offered to the public as soon as they’re made. They need to be studied. Clinical trials study how safe and helpful tests and treatments are. When found to be safe and helpful, they may become tomorrow’s standard of care. Clinical trials can study many things, such as:

  • New drugs not yet approved by the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
  • New uses of drugs already approved by the FDA
  • New ways to give drugs, such as in pill form
  • Use of alternative medicines, such as herbs and vitamins
  • New tests to find and track disease
  • Drugs or procedures that relieve symptoms

Tree Topp
The study drug, varlitinib, is an investigational anti-tumor product, delivered in the form of tablets. The study drug has been administered as a single and combination treatment to patients with metastatic gastric cancer, gastro-esophageal tumors, breast cancer, and biliary tract cancer (BTC). Laboratory studies and animal research suggest that the study drug stops cancer cells from growing by affecting different kinds of proteins in cancer cells. In particular, laboratory studies suggest that the study drug may be effective in targeting and inhibiting (preventing) the pathways of certain proteins in cells called “HER” (human epidermal growth factor receptor). The “HER” protein is important in types of cancer such as cholangiocarcinoma (BTC), gastric cancer, breast cancer, and others. Varlitinib has shown activity in BTC. In this study, patients will receive study drug plus capecitabine, or placebo plus capecitabine. Inclusion allows all forms of BTC and there is no biomarker-based patient selection.

Tree Topp
The study drug, varlitinib, is an investigational anti-tumor product, delivered in the form of tablets. The study drug has been administered as a single and combination treatment to patients with metastatic gastric cancer, gastro-esophageal tumors, breast cancer, and biliary tract cancer (BTC). Laboratory studies and animal research suggest that the study drug stops cancer cells from growing by affecting different kinds of proteins in cancer cells. In particular, laboratory studies suggest that the study drug may be effective in targeting and inhibiting (preventing) the pathways of certain proteins in cells called “HER” (human epidermal growth factor receptor). The “HER” protein is important in types of cancer such as cholangiocarcinoma (BTC), gastric cancer, breast cancer, and others. Varlitinib has shown activity in BTC. In this study, patients will receive study drug plus capecitabine, or placebo plus capecitabine. Inclusion allows all forms of BTC and there is no biomarker-based patient selection.

Researchers from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, and peer institutions released new findings in the Journal of Clinical Oncology showing that when all types of cancer research studies are considered, at least one in five people with cancer, or 21.9%, participate in some form of clinical research.

The study evaluated all categories of cancer studies, such as treatment trials, biorepository studies, and quality of life studies—the first time an estimate of participation in all types of cancer studies has been reported. Moreover, enrollment in cancer treatment trials was 7.1%, a notably higher participation rate than previous estimates of 2%- 3%.

The study also found that enrollment in treatment trials was over five-fold higher at National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers than at community sites (21.6% versus 4.1%), reflecting the impact that NCI funding for staff and infrastructure has on an institution’s ability to offer trials and recruit patients.
