A Phase 2 interventional study of Nirogacestat and Cryoablation in Desmoid Tumor, sponsored by Nam Bui. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-10.
Sponsored by Nam Bui · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
The primary purpose of this protocol is Systemic therapy with oral study agent, nirogacestat, followed by a single cryoablation procedure.
The primary purpose of this protocol is treatment. Systemic therapy with oral study agent, nirogacestat, will be given for 3 cycles (1 cycle = 28 days) followed by a single cryoablation procedure between Cycles 3 and 4, and then continued nirogacestat for Cycles 4 through 26. Treatment with nirogacestat may continue via this study for up to 24 months (26 cycles of treatment), unless there is progression of disease, intolerance, subject withdraws their consent, start of a new anticancer therapy, or until Subject Study Completion or Termination occurs.
Desmoid tumor is 50 to \<75% cryoablatable.
Tumors that are 50 to \<75% (volume) ablatable in a single session are characterized by:
Participant has adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined by the following screening laboratory values:
Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with the standard that will be used at Stanford regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
Male participants: Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the treatment period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment:
PLUS either:
Postmenopausal state (not of childbearing potential) is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause.
Female participants: A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
Is of childbearing potential but is abstinent or using 1 highly effective contraceptive method, as described in Appendix H during the treatment periodand for at least
1 week after the last dose of active study treatment. A second method of contraception is required if the participant is using hormonal contraception, as coadministration with nirogacestat may alter the plasma concentrations of hormonal contraceptives resulting reduced efficacy. Additionally, the participant agrees not to harvest or donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of active study treatment. The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participant has experienced any of the following within 6 months of signing informed consent:
All subject files must include supporting documentation to confirm subject eligibility. The method of confirmation can include, but is not limited to, laboratory test results, radiology test results, subject self-report, and medical record review.
Patients will receive 3-cycle lead-in with systemic therapy with nirogacestat 150 mg po BID, given continuously.
Drug: Nirogacestat · Procedure: Cryoablation
Nirogacestat 150 mg by mouth twice-daily continuously for Cycles 1 through 3. Treatment with nirogacestat may continue via this study protocol for up to 24 months (26 cycles of treatment), unless there is progression of disease, intolerance, start of new anticancer therapy, or Subject Study Completion or Termination occurs.
Cryoablation procedure (single session) of one tumor mass between Cycles 3 and 4 of nirogacestat treatment
Clinical Benefit per RECIST v1.1
Clinical benefit (CB) is defined as the number of participants assessed with a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) within 1 year and with no evidence of loss of response nor progression within that year. Response \& progression will be assessed according to the Revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)v1.1, as follows: RECIST v1.1: * CR=Disappearance of all lesions * PR=≥30% decrease in diameter of target lesions * Progressive disease (PD)=20% increase in diameter of target lesion; progression of non-target lesion; or ≥1 new lesion(s) For the overall outcome: * SD=Changes not meeting above criteria * Overall Response (OR)=CR+PR * CB=CR+PR+SD
Time frame: 1 year
Clinical Benefit per mRECIST
Clinical benefit (CB) is defined as the number of participants assessed with a complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) within 1 year and with no evidence of loss of response nor progression within that year. Response \& progression will be assessed according to the modified Revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST), as follows. CR=Disappearance of intratumoral enhancement * PR=≥ 30% decrease in the diameter of target lesion(s) * PD=An increase of \>20% in the diameter of target lesion. The outcome is the number of participants alive after 1 year and without PD per mRECIST, a number without dispersion
Time frame: 1 year
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Progressive-free survival (PFS) is an assessment of the number of participants at a specific time who remain alive and without tumor progression. Progressive disease (PD) will be assessed according to Revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)v1.1, or, for tumors assessed with MRI enhancement, modified RECIST (mRECIST) defined as follows: RECIST v1.1: * PD=20% increase in diameter of target lesion; progression of non-target lesion; or ≥1 new lesion(s) mRECIST: * PD=An increase of \>20% in the diameter of target lesion. The outcome is the number of participants alive after 1 year and without PD per RECIST or mRECIST, a number without dispersion.
Time frame: 1 year
Objective Response
Objective response (OR) is defined as the number of participants assessed with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) within 1 year and with no evidence of loss of response nor progression within that year. Response \& progression will be assessed according to the Revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)v1.1, or, for assessed with MRI enhancement, modified RECIST (mRECIST).
Time frame: 1 year
Time-to-Response (TTR)
Time-to-response (TTR) is an assessment of the length of time from the start of treatment until clinical response (complete response, CR; or partial response, PR) is documented.in accordance with the Revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)v1.1, or, for assessed with MRI enhancement, modified RECIST (mRECIST) defined as follows:' RECIST v1.1: * CR=Disappearance of all lesions * PR=≥30% decrease in diameter of target lesions Progressive disease (PD)=20% increase in diameter of target lesion; progression of non-target lesion; or ≥1 new lesion(s) mRECIST: * CR=Disappearance of intratumoral enhancement * PR=≥ 30% decrease in the diameter of target lesion(s) PD=An increase of \>20% in the diameter of target lesion. For either: • SD=Changes not meeting above criteria The outcome is expressed as the median TTR (by RECIST or mRECIST), with standard deviation.
Time frame: 1 year
Duration of Response (DoR)
Duration of response (DoR) is defined as the time from the date of documented disease response (complete response, CR; or partial response, PR) to the date of the first documented disease progression. CR and PR will be assessed according to the Revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)v1.1, or, for assessed with MRI enhancement, modified RECIST (mRECIST) as RECIST v1.1.
Time frame: 1 year
Related Adverse Events (AEs)
Safety is assessed as the number of adverse events determined by the investigator to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to nirogacestat treatment (ie, drug toxicities). All related events will be collected and reported. Adverse events of Grade 3 (severe) are considered notable and potentially actionable during treatment, while adverse events Grade 1 or 2 are considered routine, with typically little or no change in treatment needed. The outcome will be reported as the number of related adverse events Grade 3 or higher is a number without dispersion.
