Eligible patients must have been pretreated with cytotoxic chemotherapy and have been diagnosed with colorectal adenocarcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, esophageal, gastric, hepatocellular, or pancreatic adenocarcinoma. ALK or ROS1 activation must be histologically or cytologically confirmed.
The primary endpoint of the study is the 2-month clinical benefit rate of ceritinib, which is defined as the percentage of patients who have a partial response, complete response, or stable disease. Secondary outcome measures include the number of patients who experience treatment-associated adverse events and 2-month objective tumor response.
The estimated enrollment is 30 patients.
