Recruiting PHASE2 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

New treatment option for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Official title Cabozantinib in Patients With RET Fusion-Positive Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Those With Other Genotypes: ROS1 or NTRK Fusions or Increased MET or AXL Activity

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT01639508

What this study is testing

What is Cabozantinib?

Cabozantinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for non-small cell lung cancer.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The purpose of this phase II study is to find out what effects cabozantinib (XL184) has, good and/or bad, in patients whose tumors one of the following gene changes RET, ROS1, or NTRK fusion, or increased MET or AXL activity. A phase II study looks at how effective a medication is at treating a specific type of cancer and collects information on the side effects of the study treatment.
