Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to try to learn more about how small molecule kinase inhibitor medications work in treating lung cancer. Crizotinib (PF-02341066) is a drug that has been shown to shrink tumors in some patients with lung cancer. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients seen by the Thoracic Oncology Service who have been diagnosed with an ALK mutant NSCLC and treated with an ALK kinase inhibitor who have experienced objective regression by RECIST, WHO, or clinical criteria and who then progress will be screened for this protocol.

Who may be able to join

  • ≥18 years of age
  • Histologically proven diagnosis of NSCLC at MSKCC Tumor positive for a translocation or inversion event involving the ALK gene locus
  • Clinical response to treatment with crizotinib as defined by either:
  • Radiographic partial or complete response defined by RECIST or WHO
  • OR:
  • Radiographic stable disease for at least 8 weeks
  • Radiographic progression of disease amenable to biopsy while on treatment with crizotinib as defined by RECIST or WHO
  • Signed informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Deemed by their treating physician to be medically unfit for biopsy
  • Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding

About this study

The purpose of this study is to try to learn more about how small molecule kinase inhibitor medications work in treating lung cancer. Crizotinib (PF-02341066) is a drug that has been shown to shrink tumors in some patients with lung cancer. While the investigators know how this drug works to stop the growth of tumors that depend on change in the gene named ALK (also called EML4-ALK), the investigators do not know why the drug stops working. The investigators would like to examine the tumor to help us better understand why crizotinib has stopped working as well as it once did. The tumor will be examined with multiple tests to look for the reason that crizotinib stopped working.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • obtain tissue specimensGenetic

    One core biopsy specimen will be placed in formalin and processed for cytogenetic and FISH analyses as well as DNA for ALK sequencing. The second core biopsy specimen will be immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored in a -80 degree freezer for research specimen. Collection will be performed on-site at the time of the procedure.

Study groups in NCT01300429
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
patients with Non Small Cell Lung cancerThis is a protocol to obtain and/or analyze tissue specimens of patients with NSCLC harboring an activating ALK inversion or translocation that have had a previous clinical response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy and subsequently experience progressive disease. The tissue will be used to identify changes in the ALK gene that are acquired during treatment with an ALK TKI and may account for acquired resistance.
Receives: Genetic: obtain tissue specimens

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the frequency of acquired mutations

    ALK sequence from tumor tissue pre-treatment in patients that respond to crizotinib will be compared to ALK sequence in tumor tissue after the development of resistance when there is persistence of the original ALK inversion or translocation event.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the frequency of acquired mutations (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Jan 2021.
