Study 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.Check my eligibility
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.See study design
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.

This will be a single-institution, open label, two-stage, single agent trial of cabozantinib in patients with advanced NSCLCs.atients in GROUP A will have tumors with a RET fusion. Patients in GROUP B will have tumors with an NTRK fusion, or MET or AXL overexpression, amplication, or mutatation. Patients in GROUP C will have tumors with a ROS1 fusion. Patients in GROUP D will have tumors with a RET fusion and have progressed on a selective RET TKI.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What maladies has Cabozantinib been proven to be efficacious against?

"Cabozantinib is typically prescribed to those previously treated with anti-vegf medication, as well as for advanced renal cell carcinoma (ARCC), adrenal medulla malignancies, and individuals at high risk of developing cancer."

Answered by AI

What past initiatives have there been to investigate the potential of Cabozantinib?

"Initial trials of cabozantinib were carried out at Memorial Sloan Kettering Commack in 2012. Since then, 55 studies have been concluded and 109 are currently recruiting patients--many within the Basking Ridge region of New jersey."

Answered by AI

What objectives is this research endeavor aiming to achieve?

"The primary endpoints for this 12-week study are the objective response rate (ORR) in Group A. Secondary outcomes include progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), both calculated using Kaplan-Meyer estimators, among Groups B, C & D with advanced NSCLCs whose tumors test positive for a ROS1 or NTRK fusion or MET or AXL overexpression or amplification who were treated with cabozantinib."

Answered by AI

How can Cabozantinib be utilized without risking adverse effects on patients?

"Due to the lack of efficacy data, Cabozantinib's safety is estimated at 2 on a scale from 1-3. However, there are some reports that support its safety profile."

Answered by AI

What is the current upper limit of participants in this investigation?

"Affirmative. The trial is recruiting participants, as indicated by the information provided on clinicaltrials.gov. It was first posted during July 1st 2012 and its details were last edited June 22nd 2022. 86 test subjects are to be recruited from seven different locations for this research effort."

Answered by AI

Is this the inaugural trial of its kind?

"Since its introduction in 2012, Exelixis has sponsored 55 Cabozantinib studies across 1315 cities and 45 countries. Of these trials, 109 are still live with the earliest reaching Phase 2 drug approval status with 86 participants 8 years ago."

Answered by AI

Are there vacancies for participation in this medical experiment?

"Indeed, clinicaltrials.gov verifies that this research effort is presently enrolling participants. Initially put up on July 1st 2012 and recently updated June 22nd 2022, the trial needs 86 individuals from 7 sites to be recruited."

Answered by AI

How many establishments in Canada are performing this experiment?

"The list of sites currently running this trial includes Memorial Sloan Kettering Basking Ridge in Basking Ridge, Memorial Sloan Kettering Nassau in Uniondale and Memorial Sloan Kettering Westchester in Harrison as well as 4 other medical centres."
