Brief Summary

This research study is studying capmatinib as a treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer with MET exon 14 skipping, where the participant has already received prior therapy with a MET inhibitor.

Detailed Description

This research study is a Phase II clinical trial. Phase II clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of an investigational intervention to learn whether the intervention works in treating a specific disease. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied.

The FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved Capmatinib as a treatment for any disease.

In this research study, the investigators are using the study drug called Capmatinib. Capmatinib is a specific blocker of the cMET protein. This protein acts as a trigger to start a series of events in your cells in what is known as the C-Met pathway. Patients with MET exon 14 skipping have activation of the MET pathway. By blocking MET, Capmatinib may slow or stop the growth and/or survival of cancer cells. Capmatinib is not yet FDA approved for the treatment of people with this type of cancer. It is not known if capmatinib will be effective in people who have previously had other drugs that block the cMET pathway. This study will help us understand how capmatinib works in the body and what capmatinib does to cancer. Any potential harmful effects of capmatinib will also be studied.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Written informed consent must be obtained prior to any screening procedures.
• Age ≥ 18 years
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer, advanced, recurrent, or metastatic
• MET exon 14 skipping alteration by molecular testing (local testing is accepted for eligibility; all patients will have confirmation by NGS-rearrangement assay at MGH but this result is not necessary for eligibility; local molecular pathology result will suffice). This testing can be from any archival or fresh sample.
• Must have received prior platinum containing chemotherapy for advanced/metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, or have refused or be ineligible for such therapy. Prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant platinum containing chemotherapy will count has having received prior platinum, provided that disease recurred within 6 months of completion of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy.
• EGFR and ALK status must be known in all patients with adenocarcinoma histology. Patients with activating EGFR mutations or ALK translocations are excluded from this study, unless disease has progressed on all available, approved therapies targeting these alterations.
• At least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST 1.1. A previously irradiated site lesion may only be counted as a target lesion if there is clear sign of progression since the irradiation.
• Must have received prior MET inhibitor as their immediately preceding therapy. There are no limits to the number of lines of prior therapy as long as prior MET inhibitor is the most recent therapy.
• Patients must have recovered from all toxicities related to prior anticancer therapies to grade ≤ 1 (CTCAE v 4.03). Patients with any grade of alopecia are allowed to enter the study.

• Alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3 x ULN, except for patients with liver metastasis, who are only included if ALT ≤ 5 x ULN
• Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≤ 5.0 x ULN
• Asymptomatic serum amylase ≤ grade 2. Patients with grade 1 or grade 2 serum amylase at the beginning of the study must be confirmed to have no signs and/or symptoms suggesting pancreatitis or pancreatic injury (e.g., elevated P-amylase, abnormal imaging findings of pancreas, etc.)
• Serum lipase ≤ ULN
• Patients must have the following laboratory values within the laboratory normal limits or corrected to within normal limits with supplements during screening:

• Potassium
• Magnesium
• Phosphorus
• Total calcium (corrected for serum albumin)
• ECOG performance status (PS) of 0 or 1
• Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan and laboratory tests.

Exclusion Criteria

• Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the excipients of INC280 (crospovidone, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, and various coating premixes).
• Patients with symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases who are neurologically unstable or have required increasing doses of steroids within the 2 weeks prior to study entry to manage CNS symptoms
• Presence or history of carcinomatous meningitis
