Targeted drug crizotinib tested against hard-to-treat cancers with MET gene change

NCT ID NCT06357975

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing the drug crizotinib in 44 patients with advanced solid tumors, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma that have a specific genetic change called MET amplification. Crizotinib works by blocking enzymes that help cancer cells grow and spread. The main goal is to see if the drug can shrink or slow the cancer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Crizotinib (a targeted drug that blocks enzymes cancer cells need to grow)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new treatment option for patients with advanced cancers that have a specific genetic change (MET amplification).

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (44 patients) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Crizotinib can cause side effects like nausea, vision problems, and liver issues.
