Cancers of the nasal cavity or skull base are rare. They often are not diagnosed until they are at an advanced stage, and they often spread to other parts of the body. These cancers may have mutations in a gene called IDH2. A clinical trial led by Charalampos S. Floudas, M.D., D.M.Sc., M.S., Assistant Research Physician in the Center for Immuno-Oncology, is researching targeted medication therapy for patients with IDH2-mutated tumors in the nasal cavity or skull base area.
The trial will take place at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and there is no cost for participation.
