Testing VS-6063 (Defactinib) as a Potential Targeted Treatment in Cancers With NF2 Genetic Changes (MATCH-Subprotocol U)

MATCH Treatment Subprotocol U: VS-6063 (Defactinib) in Patients With Tumors With NF2 Loss

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 7 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This phase II MATCH treatment trial identifies the effects of VS-6063 (defactinib) in patients whose cancer has a genetic change called NF2 mutation. Defactinib may block a protein called FAK, which may be needed for cancer cell growth when NF2 mutations are present. Researchers hope to learn if defactinib will shrink this type of cancer or stop its growth.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Patients must not have a history of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, ulceration, or perforation within 12 months prior to the first dose of study drug
  • Patient must not have a known history of stroke or cerebrovascular accident within 6 months prior to the first dose of VS-6063 (defactinib)
  • Patients must not have prior treatment with a FAK inhibitor (e.g., VS-6063 \[defactinib\] or GSK2256098) and must not be participating or have participated in the COMMAND trial of maintenance therapy of VS-6063 (defactinib) versus (vs.) placebo, for mesothelioma
  • Patients must not be using drugs or foods that are known potent CYP3A4 or CYP2C9 inhibitors or inducers. Substrates of CYP3A4, 2C9, UGT1A1, P-gp, OATP1B1, and OATP1B3 should be used with caution

Other illness

  • Patients must not have known hypersensitivity to VS-6063 (defactinib) or compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition
  • Patients must not have known history of Gilbert's syndrome

Who the study is looking for

  • Patients must have met applicable eligibility criteria in the Master MATCH Protocol prior to registration to treatment subprotocol
  • Patients must have a tumor that harbors an inactivating mutation in NF2
  • Patients must have an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 8 weeks prior to treatment assignment and must have no clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction or morphology of resting ECG (e.g. complete left bundle branch block, third degree heart block)
  • Patients with known left ventricular dysfunction must have echocardiogram (ECHO) or a nuclear study (multigated acquisition scan \[MUGA\] or First Pass) within 4 weeks prior to registration to treatment and must not have left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< institutional lower limit of normal (LLN). If the LLN is not defined at a site, the LVEF must be \> 50% for the patient to be eligible
  • Patients with history of hypertension should be adequately controlled (blood pressure \[BP\] \< 140/90) with appropriate anti-hypertensive therapy or diet
