Summary

This trial will help us understand if cabozantinib can help patients with gene RET, ROS1, or NTRK fusion or increased MET or AXL activity by inhibiting these genes that lead to lung cancer cell growth.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that is metastatic or unresectable and have specific genetic changes (RET, ROS1, NTRK fusions, MET or AXL overexpression/amplification/mutation). Must be able to perform daily activities well (Karnofsky >70%), have good organ function, not pregnant, agree to use contraception. Excludes those with recent significant illnesses/treatments or known allergies to cabozantinib.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the effects of an oral drug called Cabozantinib on patients with certain gene changes in their lung cancer cells. It's a phase II study which means it focuses on how effective this treatment is and monitors side effects closely.
What are the potential side effects?
Cabozantinib may cause side effects like tiredness, digestive issues such as diarrhea and nausea, high blood pressure, hand-foot skin reactions, weight loss and decreased appetite. Some rare but serious side effects include bleeding or holes in the stomach/intestine.
