Clinical Trials instead of traditional Chemo

Entrectinib is an investigational therapy designed to target specific causes of certain types of cancer, specifically rearrangements or “fusions” of the NTRK1, NTRK2, NTRK3, ROS1, and ALK genes (visit Ignyta.com to learn more about the relationship between gene fusions and cancer formation).
Ignyta’s STARTRK-2 trial of entrectinib is now recruiting patients with fusions of the ROS1, ALK, and NTRK genes. Your doctor can order a no-cost test to see if your cancer has these gene fusions, and if you are a candidate for the STARTRK-2 clinical trial. This test, in most cases, can be performed on a tumor sample that was previously obtained and stored, avoiding the need for a new biopsy.
