Testing Crizotinib as a Potential Targeted Treatment in Cancers With ALK Genetic Changes (MATCH-Subprotocol F) (NCT04439266)

MATCH Treatment Subprotocol F: Crizotinib in Patients With Tumors (Other Than Adenocarcinoma of Lung or ALCL) With ALK Rearrangements

🔵 Active, Not Recruiting Phase2 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of crizotinib in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called ALK rearrangement. Crizotinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the ALK protein which may be needed for cell growth. Researchers hope to learn if crizotinib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (3 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (7 items).

Location: ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group — Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
