Enfortumab Vedotin for the Treatment of Patients with Recurrent and/or Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well enfortumab vedotin works in treating patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma (salivary gland cancer) that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) and/or has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Enfortumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, enfortumab, linked to an anticancer drug called vedotin. It works by helping the immune system to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Enfortumab attaches to a protein called nectin-4 on cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. It is a type of antibody-drug conjugate. Giving enfortumab vedotin may work better in treating patients with recurrent and/or metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma.
