Taletrectinib for advanced ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastases (real-world use)

Official title: A Multicenter, Non-interventional, Observational Study of Taletrectinib for Advanced ROS1+ NSCLC With Brain Metastases

Run by Innovent Biologics (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. · NCT07008287 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This will try taletrectinib in adults with ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to the brain to see how well it works and whether it is safe in routine care.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with stage IV NSCLC and a documented ROS1 fusion, at least one measurable lesion, radiographically confirmed brain metastases with stable CNS symptoms, and who are judged by their physician to be candidates for taletrectinib (or who received ≤6 months of taletrectinib retrospectively) are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients without a confirmed ROS1 fusion, without brain metastases, with unstable CNS symptoms, or who are not candidates for taletrectinib are unlikely to be eligible or to benefit from this study's findings.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, non-interventional observational study enrolls adults with stage IV ROS1-positive NSCLC and radiographically confirmed brain metastases who are prescribed taletrectinib by their treating physicians. Taletrectinib is given according to routine clinical practice and data on treatment patterns, tumor response (per RECIST v1.1), progression, survival, and adverse events are collected during standard visits. The study accepts prospective patients and retrospective patients with up to 6 months of prior taletrectinib exposure, with a consent waiver allowed for deceased retrospective patients when permitted. Collected real-world data will be analyzed to describe effectiveness and safety of taletrectinib in this specific population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could show taletrectinib helps control brain metastases and is tolerable in routine practice, supporting its use for ROS1-positive NSCLC patients with CNS involvement.

How similar studies have gone: Other ROS1-targeted drugs have shown intracranial activity in clinical trials, but published real-world data specifically for taletrectinib in patients with brain metastases remain limited.
