Study Summary

This trial is testing the effects of LCT and brigatinib on patients with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with stage IV or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that have a specific ALK gene change. They must be healthy enough based on blood tests, not pregnant, and willing to use contraception. People can't join if they've had certain other treatments for NSCLC, uncontrolled health issues like heart disease or high blood pressure, active infections, or HIV.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the combination of Local Consolidative Therapy (LCT), which includes surgery and/or radiation to remove remaining tumor cells after initial treatment, with a drug called Brigatinib that blocks enzymes tumors need to grow.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to organ function from LCT such as pain or fatigue and those from Brigatinib like nausea, diarrhea, elevated blood pressure, changes in vision, muscle pain and potential risks to liver function.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (brigatinib, LCT)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients receive brigatinib PO QD on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo LCT for up to 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Within 7 days after completion of LCT, patients receive brigatinib PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is Local Consolidation Therapy a viable method for protecting people's wellbeing?

"As a Phase 1 trial, Local Consolidation Therapy has limited efficacy and safety data. This resulted in it receiving an overall score of 1 from Power's team evaluation."

Answered by AI

Has Local Consolidation Therapy been explored in other research experiments?

"Currently, 11 clinical trials are exploring the effects of Local Consolidation Therapy with one study in phase 3. Although many experiments for this therapy occur in Goyang-si and Gyeonggi-do, there is a grand total of 796 medical centres conducting research on it."

Answered by AI

Are there any vacancies for volunteers in this experiment?

"As of now, this clinical trial is not seeking participants. The first posting was recorded on December 18th 2018 and the most recent alteration occured on November 2nd 20202. However, there are 4276 studies actively recruiting patients with malignant neoplasms as well as 11 trials for Local Consolidation Therapy that require volunteers."

Answered by AI

How many individuals have been recruited to participate in this clinical research?

"Unfortunately, this medical study is no longer admitting participants. It was first publicized on December 18th 2018 and the most recent update occurred November 2nd 2022. If you are looking for further studies to join, there are presently 4276 trials recruiting patients with malignant neoplasms plus 11 opportunities exploring Local Consolidation Therapy that still require volunteers."
