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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have met applicable eligibility criteria in the Master MATCH Protocol EAY131/ NCI-2015-00054 prior to registration to treatment subprotocol * Patient must fulfill all eligibility criteria outlined in section 3.1 of MATCH Master protocol (excluding section 3.1.6) at the time of registration to treatment step (step 1, 3, 5, 7) * Patient must have MET amplification as defined via the MATCH Master Protocol and described. Amplified MET will be defined as \>= 7 copies/cell as identified by the Oncomine (Registered Trademark) Assay, or the Oncomine Assay equivalent of 7 or greater as identified by a designated laboratory assay which will be \>= 15 copies per cell for those designated laboratories that correct for tumor content * Patients must have an electrocardigram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to treatment assignment and must not have clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG, including complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block * Patients must not have known hypersensitivity to crizotinib or compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition * Patient must not have had any of the following prior therapies: AMG 337, BMS 777607, cabozantinib (XL184), crizotinib (PF02341066), EMD1214063, foretinib (GSK1363089) (XL880), golvatinib (E7050), IncB28060 (INC280), JNJ 8877605, MGCD265, MK2461, MSC2156119J, PF 04217903, SGX523, tivantinib (ARQ197) or any other novel MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with any MET inhibitory activity half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) \< 1 uM. Prior anti-HGF or anti-MET antibodies are acceptable * Patients must not have a history of extensive disseminated/bilateral or known presence of grade 3 or 4 interstitial fibrosis or interstitial lung disease, including a history of pneumonitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, interstitial pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, obliterative bronchiolitis, and pulmonary fibrosis, but not history of prior radiation pneumonitis * Patients must not have had myocardial infarction, severe/unstable angina, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, congestive heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attack within 3 months prior to start of study treatment. Clinically significant GI abnormalities that may alter absorption (e.g., malabsorption syndrome, major resection of stomach or small bowel) * Patients using drugs or foods that are known strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers will be excluded. Patients must not require concurrent use of CYP3A substrates with narrow therapeutic indices * Patients must not have had major surgery or tumor embolization within 4 weeks and minor surgery within 2 weeks prior to the initiation of the study drug
