What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests the drug crizotinib in patients with advanced cancers (other than lung cancer) that have a specific genetic change called ALK rearrangement. Crizotinib works by blocking the ALK protein, which may stop cancer cells from growing. The study enrolled only 5 participants and aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow disease progression.

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 cancer drug, brand name Xalkori)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a treatment option for rare cancers with ALK rearrangements that are not lung cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase trial (only 5 participants) and results may not apply to all patients. Crizotinib can cause side effects like heart rhythm problems.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have met applicable eligibility criteria in the Master MATCH Protocol prior to registration to treatment subprotocol * Patients must have an ALK rearrangement as defined via the MATCH Master Protocol * Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to treatment assignment and must have no clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG (e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block) Exclusion Criteria: * Patients must not have non small cell lung cancer or anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) * Patients with a history of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis are excluded * Patients must not have known hypersensitivity to crizotinib or compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition * Patients must not have had prior ALK-targeted inhibitors, including crizotinib, ceritinib, alectinib, AP26113, TSR-011, X-396, RXDX-101, CEP-37440, PF-06463922 * Patients must not have had brain metastases unless 1) treated and neurologically stable for at least 2 weeks, or 2) untreated, asymptomatic, and treatment is not indicated. Steroids are permitted if doses are stable (or tapering) for 2 weeks prior to study enrollment * Patients using drugs or foods that are known potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers will be excluded
