ALK Positive clinical trials at UC Irvine

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of brigatinib by confirmed objective response rate (ORR) by response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]), in participants with ALK+ locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose disease has progressed on therapy with alectinib or ceritinib.

This is an open-label, multicenter, global Phase 2 basket study of entrectinib (RXDX-101) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors that harbor an NTRK1/2/3, ROS1, or ALK gene fusion. Patients will be assigned to different baskets according to tumor type and gene fusion.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn whether the study medicine (called lorlatinib) is safe and effective for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer that is caused by an abnormal anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene. This study is seeking participants whose lung cancer has progressed after receiving either alectinib or ceritinib as their first treatment. Participants will take part in this study for up to approximately 4 years, depending on when the study is completed and how their cancer responds to the study treatment. They will take lorlatinib orally (by mouth) once daily. Participants will visit the study site about every six weeks to meet with the study team. During these visits, the study team will monitor the safety and effects of lorlatinib.

This phase II trial studies how well talimogene laherparepvec and nivolumab work in treating patients with lymphomas that do not responded to treatment (refractory) or non-melanoma skin cancers that have spread to other places in the body (advanced) or do not responded to treatment. Biological therapies, such as talimogene laherparepvec, use substances made from living organisms that may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving talimogene laherparepvec and nivolumab may work better compared to usual treatments in treating patients with lymphomas or non-melanoma skin cancers.
