A Study of Gilteritinib in Adults With Advanced ALK-positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Genes give your body instructions on how to make proteins. Proteins are needed to keep the body working properly. Many types of cancer are caused by changes in certain genes, making them faulty. Some people with non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have a faulty ALK gene. ALK stands for anaplastic lymphoma kinase. People with NSCLC who have the faulty ALK gene are called ALK-positive. ALK inhibitors are an approved treatment for people with ALK positive NSCLC. Some people stop responding to treatment with ALK inhibitors over time due to more changes happening in their faulty ALK gene, so there is an unmet medical need. Gilteritinib is an approved treatment for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with the faulty FLT3 gene who haven't responded to previous treatment, or their cancer came back after previous treatment. Gilteritinib also blocks changes in the ALK gene which could help people with ALK-positive NSCLC. A study needs to be done with gilteritinib in people with ALK-positive NSCLC. The main aim of the study is to check the safety of gilteritinib in people with ALK-positive NSCLC and if they tolerate gilteritinib. People in this study will be adults with locally advanced or metastatic ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Locally advanced means the cancer has spread to nearby tissue. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. They have stopped responding to treatment with ALK inhibitors, including alectinib or lorlatinib, over time. The key reasons people cannot take part are if they have symptomatic cancers in the brain or nervous system, their cancer has spread to the thin tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord (leptomengingeal metastasis), have recently had or planning to have major surgery, have certain heart conditions, or have recently had an infection, a stroke or mini-stroke. People in the study will take tablets of gilteritinib once a day in a 28-day cycle. They may be given up to 2 different doses of gilteritinib. People in the study will start on the lower dose but can eventually switch to the higher dose if they tolerate the lower dose and meet the safety checks. Whilst taking gilteritinib, people will have regular scans of their tumors. People will continue taking gilteritinib until their cancer gets worse, they have medical problems from gilteritinib that they can't tolerate, they ask to stop taking gilteritinib, they start other cancer treatment or, sadly pass away. People will visit the clinic about 7 days and then 30 days after they stop taking gilteritinib. They will be asked about any medical problems and will have a safety check. After this, people who stopped taking gilteritinib, but their cancer hadn't become worse, will continue to have regular scans of their tumors. If their cancer does get worse, they will no longer have scans of their tumors. After finishing gilteritinib, people will be phoned every 12 weeks to check on their health. People will be in the study for up to 4 years, depending on how they respond to gilteritinib.

Treatment for Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With Actionable Genomic Alterations After Targeted Treatment and Chemotherapy (An Expanded Lung-MAP Treatment Trial)

This phase II Expanded Lung-MAP treatment trial compares how well sacituzumab govitecan alone, ivonescimab alone, or sacituzumab govitecan in combination with ivonescimab works in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or is stage IV and has a change in at least 1 of these genes: ALK, EGFR, HER2 (ERBB2), MET, NTRK, RET, and ROS1. This type of gene change is called an actionable genomic alteration (AGA), which means certain treatments can target the change to fight the cancer. Sacituzumab govitecan is a monoclonal antibody, called sacituzumab, linked to a toxic drug called SN-38. Sacituzumab govitecan is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of tumor cells, known as TROP2 receptors, and delivers SN-38 to kill them. Ivonescimab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. It binds to programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1), a protein found on the surface of T cells (a type of white blood cell) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a protein found on the surface of tumor cells. Ivonescimab may strengthen the immune system and interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving a combination of sacituzumab govitecan and ivonescimab work better than either drug alone, and sacituzumab govitecan alone, ivonescimab alone, or sacituzumab govitecan and ivonescimab together may work better than standard treatments at shrinking NSCLC with an AGA.

Amivantamab With Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI) for Advanced NSCLC With ALK, ROS1, or RET Alterations

Although non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), c-ros oncogene 1(ROS1), and ret proto-oncogene (RET) gene fusions initially respond well to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies, acquired resistance is inevitable. In many of these cases, increased activation of the erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homologue (ERBB) or cMet pathways appears to be a bypass signaling mechanism that allows these cancer cells to circumvent the selective pressure from TKIs. Recent data have suggested that these pathways compensate for each other in situations where one pathway is inhibited, leading to "kinase switch" drug resistance. Thus, the expected inhibition of both pathways via treatment with the amivantamab and combination TKI combination may improve overall efficacy by limiting the compensatory pathway activation.

A Study to Learn About Patients With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Who Took Lorlatinib as Their First Treatment

The main purpose of the study is to learn how the lung cancer medicines work. The study also looks into treatment sequence of these medicines. This study is performed outside of clinical studies in a database in the United States in patients with metastatic or advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Non-small cell lung cancer is a group of lung cancers named for the kinds of cells found in the cancer and how the cells look under a microscope. Metastasis is when the cancer cells spread to other parts of the body. Advanced cancer is when the patient is diagnosed with stage III or stage IV cancer. This study includes patient's information from the database who: * Are aged 18 years or older. * Are confirmed to have metastatic non-small cell lung cancer on or after 1 January 2021. * Have a positive Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) gene mutation or rearrangement. A gene is a part of your DNA that has instructions for making things your body needs to work and a mutation or rearrangement can cause the gene not to work properly. ALK is a protein that helps control cell growth. * Received lorlatinib as their first treatment. All participants in this study had received the study medicine lorlatinib. It is a tablet that is taken by mouth at home. They continued to take the study medicine until their cancer was no longer responding. The study will look at the experiences of people receiving the study medicine. The study is based on information collected from Flatiron Health's Advanced NSCLC Panoramic dataset which includes: \- Diagnosis, cancer stage at diagnosis, date of diagnosis, birth year, type of medicinal treatment, date of treatment start and end, age, gender, etc.

Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in Combination With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Stage 2-3 Non-small Lung Cancer

This phase I trial studies the side effects of ipilimumab and nivolumab in combination with radiation therapy, and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Ipilimumab and nivolumab may also help radiation therapy work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the radiation therapy. Giving ipilimumab and nivolumab in combination with radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with stage II-III non-small cell lung cancer compared to standard chemotherapy in combination with radiation therapy.

Ensartinib, Carboplatin, Pemetrexed and Bevacizumab for the Treatment of Stage IIIC or IV or Recurrent ALK-Positive Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase Ib trial finds the best dose and side effects of ensartinib and its effects when given with carboplatin, pemetrexed and bevacizumab for in treating patients with ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer that is stage IIIC or IV, or has come back (recurrent). Ensartinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as carboplatin and pemetrexed, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving ensartinib, carboplatin, pemetrexed and bevacizumab may help to control the disease.
