Lorlatinib with Crizotinib, Binimetinib, or TNO155 for the Treatment of Refractory Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer with ALK or ROS1 Gene Rearrangement

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase Ib/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lorlatinib and how well it works with crizotinib, binimetinib, or TNO155 in treating patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that has not responded to treatment (refractory) with ALK or ROS1 gene rearrangement. Lorlatinib is an oral ALK and ROS1 inhibitor that may help stop the growth and spread of ALK-positive and ROS1-positive lung cancer cells. Binimetinib is an oral inhibitor of MEK, a signaling protein that may cause some types of lung cancer to grow. Combining binimetinib with drugs targeting these growth signals has been shown to prevent lung cancer cells from growing. Crizotinib is an oral inhibitor of a number of proteins, including MET, a signaling protein that may cause some types of cancer to grow. Adding crizotinib to lorlatinib may be able to control the growth of lung cancer cells that have also become dependent on growth signals from MET. TNO155 is an oral inhibitor of a protein called SHP2, a protein that integrates growth signals from many different proteins to help promote growth of cancer cells. Blocking SHP2 may prevent cancer cells from receiving the growth signals. Adding TNO155 to lorlatinib may be able to control the growth of lung cancer cells that have become dependent on signals other than ALK. Giving lorlatinib with crizotinib, binimetinib, or TNO155 may work better in treating patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
