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

Study for advanced lung cancer with specific gene change (Lung-MAP trial).

Recruiting
All
Phase 2

This study is for people with a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has a change in a gene called MET exon 14 skipping. In this study, doctors will test two medicines: tepotinib and ramucirumab. Tepotinib blocks a protein that helps cancer cells grow, while ramucirumab stops new blood vessels that cancer needs to grow. The study is for people whose cancer has come back or spread to other parts of the body. Participants will be given either tepotinib alone or with ramucirumab, and will have regular check-ups and scans to see how the treatment is working.

  • The trial involves taking medicine by mouth and/or through an IV every 21 days.
  • Participants will have regular scans and blood tests to monitor progress.
  • After treatment, follow-up visits occur every 12 weeks, then every 6 months for up to 3 years.

Eligibility includes having the specific gene change, prior lung cancer treatments, and no recent major surgeries or other treatments. Participants must agree to use contraception if needed and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. This study aims to see if these medicines can help slow or stop cancer from growing.

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.
