About this study

Official title: A Single Arm, Phase 2 Study of Ganetespib in Subjects With Advanced Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer With Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase Gene Rearrangement (ALK-Positive NSCLC)

Phase 2 study of subjects with ALK positive, advanced NSCLC who have failed up to 3 prior therapies. The study will take place globally at multiple study centers. Subjects will be enrolled to receive ganetespib one time per week for three weeks followed by a rest week; and will repeat this schedule until the cancer gets worse or the subject is unable to tolerate ganetespib. The primary goal of the study is to determine how ganetespib is tolerated and how active it is in ALK positive NSCLC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ganetespib in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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 20 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Canada, 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Objective response rate (time frame: 1 year). 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 20 May 2015.
