Study of Crizotinib for ROS1 and MET Activated Lung Cancer

Phase II Study of Crizotinib for ROS1 and MET Activated Lung Cancer (CROME)

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is a phase 2 study of a drug called crizotinib in people with metastatic (the cancer has spread to other parts of the body) non-small cell lung cancer with a mutation (change) in genes called ROS1 or MET. The purpose of this study is to look at how effective crizotinib is at treating ROS1 or MET mutated non-small cell lung cancer. Crizotinib, also called XALKORI, is a chemotherapy drug that is currently approved for the treatment of ALK- or ROS1- positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests crizotinib — a targeted therapy pill — in patients with advanced lung cancer that has a specific genetic change (a ROS1 rearrangement or a MET gene mutation or amplification). These genetic changes cause the cancer to grow, and crizotinib is designed to block them. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have stage IV (advanced) non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer - Your tumor has a confirmed ROS1 rearrangement, MET exon 14 mutation, or MET amplification - You can swallow pills and have no major gut absorption problems - You are not pregnant and agree to use contraception **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have untreated brain metastases causing symptoms - You received chemotherapy or targeted therapy within the past 4 weeks, or radiation within the past 2 weeks - You have a heart condition called long QT syndrome or an abnormal heart rhythm reading (QTcF ≥ 500 msec) - You are taking certain medications that strongly interact with crizotinib Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
