Clinical Trials

A Phase I/II Study of the ALK Inhibitor CH5424802 in Patients with ALK-Rearranged Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Protocol
12-113
Full Title
A Phase I/II Study of the ALK Inhibitor CH5424802 in Patients with ALK-Rearranged Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Purpose

Crizotinib is a drug that is approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) that contain an alteration in the ALK gene (a fusion of two genes that fuels cancer growth). In many patients, the response to crizotinib does not last, and the cancer begins to grow (on average, after less than a year on treatment).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug called CH5424802, which targets the same ALK gene mutation that causes NSCLC, in patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC that has continued to grow despite treatment with crizotinib. CH5424802 is a pill that is taken orally (by mouth).
