๐ฌIn plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
This prospective, multicenter clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant therapy with MRG003 (Becotatug vedotin) combined with epirubicin in patients with EGFR-positive, unresectable recurrent sinonasal adenoid cystic carcinoma (SNACC). The primary question is whether this combination can achieve a sufficient objective response rate (ORR) to enable subsequent radical surgery or improve disease control.

Multidisciplinary team (MDT) assessment at baseline confirms that the tumor is not amenable to radical (R0) surgical resection.
