Comparing Combinations of Targeted Drugs for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer That Has EGFR and MET Gene Changes (A Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)

Testing drug combinations for advanced lung cancer with EGFR and MET changes.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase 2

This study tests combinations of targeted drugs for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with special gene changes called EGFR and MET. Capmatinib and osimertinib are kinase inhibitors. They stop signals that make cancer cells grow and spread. Ramucirumab is a monoclonal antibody that stops new blood vessels from forming, which tumors need to grow. These drugs may help shrink or control the cancer.

Patients will be divided into two groups. Group A gets capmatinib, osimertinib, and ramucirumab, while Group B gets just capmatinib and osimertinib. Both groups will have regular CT or MRI scans and blood tests.

  • Duration: The study involves continuous treatment with regular scans and blood tests.
  • Eligibility: You must have specific gene changes, be able to swallow pills, and meet other health criteria.
  • Risks: Possible side effects include those typical of cancer treatments but are monitored throughout the study.

Talk to your doctor to see if this study might be right for you.

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.
