Study Summary

This trial will test the effectiveness of crizotinib in treating ROS1- or MET-mutated non-small cell lung cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has spread and have specific gene changes (ROS1 or MET). They must be able to take oral meds, not have serious GI issues affecting drug absorption, use birth control, and have a life expectancy over 12 weeks. Can't join if they've had certain recent treatments or conditions like untreated brain metastases or heart rhythm problems.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Crizotinib's effectiveness on lung cancer with ROS1 rearrangement or MET mutation/amplification. It's a phase 2 trial where participants receive Crizotinib to see how well it works against these genetic variations of the disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Crizotinib may cause vision disorders, nausea, diarrhea, liver enzyme elevations, swelling in legs/feet/hands/face (edema), constipation, vomiting, fatigue and decreased appetite among other side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Has research been conducted with Crizotinib in the past?

"Currently, 32 Crizotinib trials are ongoing. Of these, 6 have entered the third phase of clinical research and they originate from a single site in Pahrump, Nevada. Globally, there are 6887 locations running studies related to this drug therapy."

Answered by AI

What adverse effects should be expected with Crizotinib treatments?

"The safety of Crizotinib has been judged to be a 2 on the 1-3 scale, owing to its status as a Phase 2 trial. This implies that while there is data backing up the medication's safety, efficacy cannot yet be confirmed."

Answered by AI

What is the maximum number of participants accepted for this research endeavor?

"Affirmative. The clinicaltrials.gov website states that this medical research is currently enlisting participants, with the first post being published on December 3rd 2019 and the most recent update occurring November 26th 2021. This trial requires 50 individuals to be recruited from a single site."

Answered by AI

Is there an opportunity to join this experiment at the current time?
