Yes there is a number of trials, some clinical (mainly targeting "growth factors" which are a myriad of proteins known to play important roles in forming and sustaining tumors and tumor activity), and some basic science research (on cell lines). I'm not sure about the availability of such trials in Lebanon, this is an issue to be discussed with the treating oncologist.
