Afatinib in Patients with Fanconi Anemia (FA) and Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC)

Is NCT06648096 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 1/2 trial studies Afatinib for fanconi anemia.

Phase 1/2RecruitingFundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant PauNCT06648096Data as of May 2026

Treatment: AfatinibThis research study is a phase Ib/II, single-arm, non-randomized, non-blind, multicenter study designed to determine whether Afatinib is effective and safe in patients with locoregionally unresectable and / or metastatic HNSCC with Fanconi Anemia. The main hypothesis, based on preclinical evidence, is that treatment with afatinib, an epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), could be an effective treatment option to control cancer for patients with FA - HNSCC.
