Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for children and young people with a cancer that came back or did not respond to treatment, and that carries an ALK, ROS1 or MET gene change. It tests crizotinib alone or with temsirolimus.
- Age
- From 1 year up to 21 years.
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Relapsed or refractory ALCL, neuroblastoma or rhabdomyosarcoma, or another solid tumour or lymphoma that came back or did not respond to standard therapy. Newly diagnosed IMT can join if surgery is not feasible. Expected survival of at least 12 weeks.
- Earlier treatment
- Earlier cancer drugs must have ended at least 2 weeks before the trial drug starts. No earlier treatment aimed at ALK, ROS1 or MET. No other investigational drug or major surgery in the past 2 weeks.
- Biomarker or test result
- A change in the ALK, ROS1 or MET gene is needed (for example an ALK rearrangement, mutation or amplification, a MET mutation or amplification, a ROS1 or TFE3 rearrangement), shown by a lab test.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Active infection that is not under control
- Brain or spinal cord tumour spread that is untreated, or CNS3 status
- Serious heart problems, or heart attack or stroke in the past 3 months
- Lung scarring or interstitial lung disease
- Another active cancer in the last 3 years
