Using Crizotinib for Advanced Lung Cancer with ROS1 Mutation

A Real World Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of First Line Crizotinib in ROS1-rearranged Non-squamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Observational Hunan Province Tumor Hospital · NCT03646994

This study tests how well Crizotinib works as a first treatment for people with advanced lung cancer that has a specific genetic change called ROS1 mutation.

What this trial studies

This observational study investigates the effectiveness and safety of Crizotinib as a first-line treatment for patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a ROS1 rearrangement. It involves a retrospective analysis of 40 patients, focusing on the consistency of gene testing results from tissue and plasma samples, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug resistance associated with Crizotinib. The study aims to develop a risk model for disease progression based on dynamic gene mutation analysis.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced non-squamous NSCLC confirmed by histopathology and a positive ROS1 rearrangement detected by NGS.

Not a fit: Patients who have previously received antitumor treatment or have contraindications to chemotherapy will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into effective treatment strategies for patients with ROS1 rearranged advanced lung cancer.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with Crizotinib in similar patient populations, indicating a potential for success in this approach.
