Research opens doors to the future of cancer treatment

We use clinical trials to find better ways to treat cancer. Your participation in a study can give you early access to groundbreaking drugs or therapies that most cancer centers can't offer.
 
Dozens of clinical studies are currently underway at Goshen Center for Cancer Care. Use our list of cancer types to search for studies that are open for enrollment by qualified patients.
 
Descriptions about each study explain the purpose of the trial, who is eligible to participate and how to get more information.
 
ClinicalTrials.gov maintains a complete list of current clinical trials around the world.

    Lung: E4512 (ALCHEMIST - ALK)
    Sponsor: ECOG-ACRIN
    Study: Lung: E4512 (ALCHEMIST - ALK)
    Cancer stage: Resectable NSCLC IB-IIIA

    Description:

    Inclusions: 

    • Age ≥ 18 years.
    • Patients must have undergone complete surgical resection of their stage IB (≥ 4 cm), II, or non-squamous IIIA NSCLC and have had negative margins. N3 disease is not allowed.
    • ECOG performance status 0 or 1.
    • Positive for translocation or inversion events involving the ALK gene locus (e.g. resulting in EML4-ALK fusion) as determined by the Vysis Break Point FISH assay and defined by an increase in the distance between 5’ and 3’ ALK probes or the loss of the 5’ probe.
    • No known interstitial fibrosis or interstitial lung disease.
    • No use of medications, herbals, or foods that are known potent CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers.

    Exclusions: 

    Prior treatment: 

    • Adjuvant treatment is allowed. No prior treatment with crizotinib or another ALK inhibitor.

    Purpose: 

    • This randomized phase III trial studies how well crizotinib works and compares it to placebo in treating patients with stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that has been removed by surgery and has a mutation in a protein called anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK). Mutations, or changes, in ALK can make it very active and important for tumor cell growth and progression. Crizotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the ALK protein from working. Crizotinib may be an effective treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer and an ALK fusion mutation.

    Basic qualifications:

    • Patients must be registered to the ALCHEMIST-SCREEN (ALLIANCE A151216) trial prior to randomization.
