Targeted Treatment for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Has a MET Exon 14 Skipping Gene Change (An Expanded Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)

New treatment trial for advanced lung cancer with specific gene change.

Recruiting
All
Phase 2

This study is for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a specific gene change called MET exon 14 skipping. It tests a drug called tepotinib alone or with another drug called ramucirumab. Tepotinib blocks a protein that makes cancer cells grow, while ramucirumab stops blood vessels that feed tumors. This trial checks if using these drugs together can help stop the cancer from spreading.

  • The study lasts several years with follow-up visits every 12 weeks initially.
  • Patients undergo regular scans and blood tests during the study.
  • Participants must not have had certain other cancer treatments recently and must meet specific health criteria.

To join, patients need to have a MET exon 14 skipping mutation confirmed by a lab test. They need regular scans and medical check-ups. The drugs are given in cycles, and patients are monitored for side effects. Participants must not have other certain gene changes in their cancer and should not be pregnant or breastfeeding. This study could help understand how well these drugs work together, offering new hope for lung cancer patients.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
