Inclusion criteria
. Age ≥ 18 years. Individuals younger than 18 years old are excluded. More than 99% of the population evaluated at MDACC with a diagnosis of DT is older than 18. Sixty-three percent of the population with a diagnosis of DT evaluated at MDACC are 10 - 54 years old. The remaining 37 percent are older than 54 years old. Additionally, most of the robust data related to dosing or adverse event data currently available on the use of nirogacestat is in adults
. Histologically documented DT with evidence of radiographic tumor progression (≥ 10% or absolute increase in dimensions of ≥ 10 mm in maximal diameter) in unidimensional measurement within the previous 18 months. Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension as ≥10 mm (≥1 cm) with CT scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam
. Recurrent or primary disease
. Symptomatic disease or impending morbidity (as defined by physician) and patient and physician agree treatment would be of benefit
. Treatment naïve or progression on or after any prior therapy for DT. Participant must have discontinued prior therapy for at least 28 days or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is greater. All toxicities from prior therapy must be resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or clinical baseline. There is no limit on the number of previous systemic treatments received
. Able to tolerate radiographic progression (up to 20% increase in tumor longest diameter) as determined by treating oncologist based on morbidity and tumor growth is not threatening vital structures
. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Incidence of Adverse Events, Graded According to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version (v) 5.0
Timeframe: through study completion; an average of 1 year.
. Participants with familial adenomatous polyposis
. Unable to tolerate MRI or for whom MRI is contraindicated
. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study. Based on findings in animal studies, oral administration of nirogacestat to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis resulted in embryo-fetal toxicities at maternal exposures that were significantly lower than adult human exposures at the recommended dose of 150 mg twice daily. Nirogacestat should be avoided during pregnancy
. Known hypersensitivity to nirogacestat or any of its excipients
. Participants requiring the use of any excluded concomitant medications listed in Table 2 during the course of the study
. Unable to comply with study-related procedures in the opinion of the investigator
. Patients with cognitive impairment requiring a legally authorized representative for consent
