Quick Navigation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study is researching whether the combination of Afatinib and Pemigatinib is safe and effective in FGFR altered unresectable or metastatic advanced solid tumors. The study is also trying to discover the highest doses of the study drugs that can be administered without causing any intolerable side effects. This research study involves the study drugs Afatinib and Pemigatinib.
