Clinical Trials

Duligotuzumab has been studied in clinical trials for the treatment of various types of cancer, including head and neck cancer, colorectal cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer. However, the results of these trials have been mixed, and the drug is not currently approved for use in any country.

Side Effects

Like all drugs, duligotuzumab can cause side effects. The most common side effects reported in clinical trials include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, and skin rash. In some cases, these side effects can be severe and may require medical attention.
