Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: Study of Ponatinib in Patients With Lung Cancer Preselected Using Different Candidate Predictive Biomarkers
• Official Title: A Phase II Study of Ponatinib in Cohorts of Patients With Lung Cancer Preselected Using Different Candidate Predictive Biomarkers
• Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well ponatinib hydrochloride works in treating patients with stage III-IV lung cancer. Ponatinib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
• Detailed Description: This study will look at the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug ponatinib in lung cancer. The investigators hope that ponatinib will work against tumors that have certain biomarkers. Therefore, the study will pre-screen patients for these certain biomarkers before enrolling them into the main treatment study. Different doses of ponatinib may be tested in this study.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• PART A: Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced (after failure of local therapy) or metastatic lung cancer (any histology, except carcinoid) stage IIIa, IIIb or IV
• PART A: Existing formalin fixed paraffin embedded biopsy of the lung cancer with potentially sufficient material for analysis
• PART A: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with adenocarcinoma histology must have been previously tested for both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements
• PART A: Able (physically and financially) to travel to University of Colorado for clinical trial treatment
• PART B: Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced (after failure of local therapy) or metastatic lung cancer (any histology, except carcinoid) stage IIIa, IIIb or IV
• PART B: Patients must be proven to meet marker criteria (FGFR1 silver in situ hybridization (SISH) + in situ hybridization (ISH) +, FGFR1 SISH+ ISH negative [-ve], FGFR1 SISH-ve ISH+, FGFR1 SISH-ve ISH-ve [FGFR1 double negative cohort] or ret proto-oncogene [RET] FISH+) prior to enrollment into Part B (treatment); adenocarcinoma patients must be known to not possess either an EGFR mutation or an ALK rearrangement in their tumor (if positive for one, testing for both is not required)
• PART B: Patients must have measurable disease as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1
• PART B: Patients may have received any number of lines of prior therapy
• PART B: Life expectancy of >= 3 months
• PART B: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2 (Karnofsky >= 60%)
• PART B: Leukocytes >= 3,000/mcL

• PART B: Hemoglobin >= 9 g/dL
• PART B: Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
• PART B: Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), unless due to Gilbert's syndrome
• PART B: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase [SGPT]) =< 2.5 X ULN
• PART B: Creatinine =< 1.5 X ULN OR creatinine clearance >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m^2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal
