video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and mediastinoscopy will not be counted as major surgery and patients can be enrolled in the study >= week after the procedure Patients who have undergone major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra- abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury ? weeks prior to starting study drug, or patients who have had minor procedures (i.e. transurethral resection of bladder tumor [TURBT]), percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device ? week prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury Major surgery (e.g. intra-abdominal, intra-thoracic or intra-pelvic) within weeks prior to starting study treatment or lack of recovery from side effects of such procedure; video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and mediastinoscopy will not be counted as major surgery and patients can receive study treatment >= week after these procedures CERITINIB EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Major surgery (e.g., intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic) within weeks prior ( weeks for resection of brain metastases) to starting capmatinib; video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and mediastinoscopy will not be counted as major surgery and patients can be enrolled in the study >= week after the procedure Patient has had major surgery (e.g., intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic) within weeks prior to starting study treatment or has not recovered from side effects of such procedure; video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and mediastinoscopy will not be counted as major surgery and patients can receive study treatment >= week after these procedures Patient has had major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic) within weeks prior to starting study treatment or has not recovered from side effects of such procedure; video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and mediastinoscopy will not be counted as major surgery and patients can receive study treatment >= week after these procedures Patients who have undergone major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury =< weeks prior to starting study drug, or patients who have had minor procedures, percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device =< week prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury Minimum interval since last major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury is weeks prior to registration; minimum interval since minor procedures, percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device is week prior to registration; patients must have recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury prior to registration SUB-PROTOCOL AIM A: Major surgery (e.g., intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic) =< weeks prior to registration or failure to recover from side effects of such surgery; exceptions: port placements, nephrectomy, tumor biopsies, and minor surgeries Any surgery that is potentially hemorrhagic (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or non-traumatic orthopedic surgery of the femur or pelvis) that is completed within hours prior to first dose of study drug, or ongoing impairment of hemostasis as a result of one of these procedures Patients within days post major surgery (e.g., intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy, or significant traumatic injury to avoid wound healing complications; minor procedures and percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device without complications require hours prior to study entry Prior systemic therapy, radiation therapy or intracavitary surgery (intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intracranial) within days of starting study treatment Patients who have undergone major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury =< weeks prior to starting study drug, or patients who have had minor procedures, percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device =< week prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury Major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury =< weeks and minor procedures (including percutaneous biopsies, placement of vascular access device, laparoscopy +/- biopsy) =< week prior to starting study treatment; patients who have minor procedure(s) > week prior to starting study treatment and have recovered from side effects of such procedure are eligible Patient has had major surgery (e.g., intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic) within weeks prior to starting study treatment or has not recovered from side effects of such procedure; video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and mediastinoscopy will not be counted as major surgery and patients can receive study treatment >= week after these procedures Undergone major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury =< days prior to study registration, or had minor procedures, percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device =< days prior to study registration, or have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury Major surgery such as intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic (with the exception of craniotomy), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury ? weeks prior to registration, or patients who have had minor procedures, percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device ? week prior to registration, or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury.
