STARTRK-2 Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, entrectinib, for patients with different types of solid tumors that have a gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different groups depending on their tumor type and gene fusion.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced solid tumors that have specific gene rearrangements (NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK). Participants must have measurable disease, may include those with brain involvement if controlled. They should be past certain treatments by at least 2 weeks and have good organ function. People can't join if they've had certain other cancers, bone disorders, heart failure recently, severe neuropathy, active infections or are in another clinical trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Entrectinib's effectiveness on various tumor types with NTRK1/2/3, ROS1 or ALK gene fusions. It's a global Phase 2 trial where patients are grouped based on their tumor type and genetic changes to receive the open-label drug Entrectinib.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Entrectinib could potentially cause side effects like fatigue, dizziness, taste alteration; constipation or diarrhea; numbness in hands and feet; weight gain; shortness of breath; muscle pain; cognitive changes such as confusion or memory problems.

Answered by AI

What other tests or procedures have been done with Entrectinib in the past?

"At this moment in time, there are 18 different clinical trials being conducted to study Entrectinib. Out of those 18, 3 are classified as Phase 3 trials. The majority of these studies are based out of Portland, Oregon; however, there are 1,575 total locations running trials for entrectinib across the globe."

Answered by AI

Are patients being accepted into this research program at this time?

"No, this particular trial is not currently looking for new patients. Although it was created on November 19th 2015 and edited as recently as November 14th 2022, there are no plans to recruit at this time. There are, however, 9192 other trials that are presently recruiting candidates."

Answered by AI

Is this medical trial novel in its approach?

"As of now, there are 18 ongoing Entrectinib trials in 482 cities and 54 countries. The first drug trial happened in 2015 and was sponsored by Hoffmann-La Roche. It completed its Phase 2 approval stage with the help of 700 participants. In the 6 years since then, 7 more studies have been completed."

Answered by AI

What are the potential risks associated with Entrectinib?

"Despite being a Phase 2 trial, meaning that there is only some data supporting safety and none yet for efficacy, our team at Power still gave Entrectinib a score of 2."
