Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was planned to determine if neoadjuvant capmatinib could improve the major pathological response (MPR) in patients with Stage IB-IIIA, N2 and selected IIIB (T3N2 or T4N2) lung cancers with Mesenchymal Epithelial Transition (MET) exon 14 mutations and/or high MET amplification beyond those achieved with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Treatment was to be continued with capmatinib in the adjuvant setting to evaluate the potential clinical benefit of extended therapy.

The purpose of this study is to determine if neoadjuvant capmatinib can improve outcomes in participants with stages I-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer with MET exon 14 mutations and/or high MET amplification beyond those achieved with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a Phase II, two cohort, two stage study of capmatinib given for 8 weeks (2 cycles) prior to surgical resection, followed by three-year capmatinib treatment in adjuvant setting. Surgery had to be performed up to 2 weeks after the last dose of neoadjuvant study treatment.

There were 2 molecularly defined cohorts enrolled in parallel:

* Cohort A: MET exon 14 skipping mutations, irrespective of MET GCN or
* Cohort B: high level MET amplification (MET: GCN ≥ 10 by FISH or FoundationOne CDx NGS using tumor tissue).

Approximately 42 participants were aimed to be enrolled in the study, with 21 participants per cohort. This was planned to obtain 38 evaluable participants, 19 per each cohort. Participants who had both MET exon 14 skipping mutations and high-level MET amplification were planned to be enrolled into Cohort A. An evaluable subject received the neoadjuvant treatment and subsequently underwent surgery, resulting in a pathological response.

The study recruitment was prematurely discontinued due to significant recruitment challenges leading to termination of the study. The challenges included the rarity of the mutation and site initiation delays caused by staff shortages associated with COVID-19. As a result, only 4 subjects were enrolled and treated in Cohort A.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort A (MET exon 14 skipping mutations)

The study treatment started on Cycle 1 Day 1 with the first administration of capmatinib 400 mg twice a day (b.i.d.). The participants were planned to receive study treatment for a maximum of 3 years following surgery or until early discontinuation.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Adult ≥ 18 years of age at the time of informed consent.
2. Histologically confirmed NSCLC Stage IB-IIIA, N2 and selected IIIB (T3N2 or T4N2) (per AJCC 8th edition), deemed suitable for primary resection by treating surgeon (T4 tumors with mediastinal organ invasion were not eligible for enrollment).
3. Participant must have MET exon 14 mutation and/or high-level MET amplification (MET: GCN ≥ 10) as determined by a CLIA certified laboratory. High level MET amplification must be identified by FISH in a CLIA certified laboratory or FoundationOne CDx NGS (other NGS-based methods without adjusting for tumor content % cannot be accepted).
4. Participants must be eligible for surgery and scheduled for surgical resection within approximately 2 weeks after the last dose of neoadjuvant study treatment.
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Participants with unresectable or metastatic disease. All participants should have brain imaging (either MRI brain or CT brain with contrast) prior to enrollment to exclude brain metastasis.
2. Presence or history of a malignant disease that has been diagnosed and/or required therapy within the past 3 years. Exceptions to this exclusion include the following: completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers, and completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type.
3. Prior treatment with any MET inhibitor or HGF-targeting therapy.
4. Participants with other known oncogenic driver alterations.
5. Prior systemic anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, biologic therapy, vaccine) or investigational agents for NSCLC.
6. Participants with known hypersensitivity to capmatinib and any of the excipients of capmatinib (crospovidone, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, and various coating premixes).
