Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Zanzalintinib in the Treatment of Relapsed or Metastatic Adenoid Cystic Carcinomas of the Head and Neck

Adenoid cystic carcinomas are rare cancers of the salivary glands. These cancers are treated with curative surgery, often followed by radiation therapy. Despite this aggressive treatment, approximately 50% of patients will develop a recurrence or metastatic disease (spread of the disease to another part of the body). Treatment of this progressive disease with chemotherapy or targeted therapy has not demonstrated significant efficacy so far, and there are currently no management recommendations from health authorities. The emergence of new drugs offers hope for patients. Zanzalintinib, thanks to its specific mechanisms of action, could be an effective treatment for patients whose disease has progressed.
