This trial is for people aged 18–120 with advanced adult granulosa-cell ovarian cancer, clear-cell ovarian cancer, anal cancer or Ewing sarcoma. Cancer must progress after standard therapy, or no standard option must exist.

The idea: combine nilotinib, a BCR-Abl kinase blocker, with paclitaxel, which disrupts cell division. Nilotinib is taken twice daily; paclitaxel infusions occur on days 1, 8 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Researchers measure tumor response. Biopsies are optional. Other rare cancers are ineligible.

This phase 2 study plans 82 patients. Alice Chen leads at NIH’s recruiting Bethesda site.
