- Male participants:
- Non-sterilized male participants who are sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use a male condom (plus spermicide, if available) from enrollment throughout the study and for 8 months following the last dose of study drug. It is strongly recommended for the female partner of a male participant to also use a highly effective method of contraception throughout this period, as described in Table 3. In addition, male participants must refrain from sperm donation while on study and for 8 months (5 half-lives plus 6 months) following the last dose of study drug.

It is strongly recommended for the male partner of a female participant to also use male condom (plus spermicide, if available) throughout this period. Cessation of contraception after this point should be discussed with a responsible physician.
- 9. Patients can be treatment-naïve or have received up to 4 lines of prior systemic therapy in the setting of R/M disease, however, a maximum of two prior lines of chemotherapy or antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) are allowed. Exceptions include prior B7-H4-targeting ADC or any prior agent with a topoisomerase inhibitor 1 mode of action; those represent exclusion criteria (exclusion criteria #18).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing P-Sam in people with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 43 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Renata Ferrarotto, MD ((713) 745-6774, rferrarotto@mdanderson.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Safety and Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Through study completion; an average of 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
