Study Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Capmatinib in Combination With Osimertinib in Adult Subjects With Non-small Cell Lung Cancers as Second Line Therapy

Status: administratively complete

This study aimed to evaluate the anticancer activity of capmatinib in combination with osimertinib compared to platinum-pemetrexed based doublet chemotherapy as second line treatment in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, T790M negative, mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition factor (MET) amplified who progressed following EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

Inclusion Criteria

Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC with EGFR mutations known to be associated with EGFR TKI sensitivity, EGFR T790M negative and MET gene amplification
Stage IIIB/IIIC or IV NSCLC
Participants must have progressed on one prior line of therapy (1st/2nd generation EGFR TKIs, osimertinib or other third generation EGFR TKIs) for advanced/metastatic disease (stage IIIB/IIIC and must be candidates for platinum (cisplatin or carboplatin) - pemetrexed doublet based chemotherapy
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 0 or 1
Participants must have recovered from all toxicities related to prior systemic therapy to grade ≤ 1 Common Terminology Criteria Adverse Event 5.0 (CTCAE v 5.0)
At least one measurable lesion as defined by RECIST 1.1
Participants must have adequate organ function Key

Exclusion Criteria

Prior treatment with any MET inhibitor or HGF-targeting therapy
Participants with symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases who were neurologically unstable or had required increasing doses of steroids within the 2 weeks prior to study entry to manage CNS symptoms
Carcinomatous meningitis
Presence or history of a malignant disease other than NSCLC that had been diagnosed and/or required therapy within the past 3 years
Presence or history of interstitial lung disease or interstitial pneumonitis, including clinically significant radiation pneumonitis
Long QT syndrome, family history of idiopathic sudden death or congenital long QT syndrome
Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart diseases
known druggable molecular alterations that may render participants eligible for alternative targeted therapies

This was a multicenter, open-label, randomized, active-controlled, global phase III study

that enrolled adult participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with epidermal

growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutation, T790M negative,

mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition factor (MET) amplified who had progressed following

EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).

The study was conducted in two parts. The initial part was a safety run-in part, which

aimed at assessing the safety and tolerability of capmatinib in combination with

osimertinib and at determining the recommended dosage for the subsequent randomized part.

The randomized part compared the efficacy and safety of capmatinib in combination with

osimertinib to a platinum-based doublet chemotherapy regimen using either cisplatin or

carboplatin, combined with pemetrexed, as second-line treatment.The randomized part was

not initiated.

In the randomized part (if initiated), participants were to receive their assigned

treatment (either capmatinib in combination with osimertinib or platinum-pemetrexed based

doublet chemotherapy) until they experienced any of the following: documented disease

progression according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST

1.1) as assessed by the investigator during the run-in part and confirmed by a blinded

independent review committee (BIRC) during the randomized part, withdrawal of consent,

pregnancy, lost to follow-up, or death. Participants who progressed in the

platinum-pemetrexed arm were to be permitted to switch to capmatinib in combination with

osimertinib therapy after BIRC-confirmed, RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease. If, in

the judgment of the investigator, there was evidence of clinical benefit and the

participant wished to continue, study treatment could be continued beyond the initial

disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. After treatment discontinuation,

all participants were to be followed for safety evaluations during the safety follow-up

period.

On 11-May-2022, Novartis decided to halt enrollment for this study due to a business

consideration unrelated to any safety concerns. Ongoing patients in the run-in part were

allowed to continue treatment through other post-trial drug supply options, as

applicable. On 27-Dec-2022 the last patient was transitioned off the study, and following

the study protocol this date was declared the Global end of trial date. Randomized part

was not initiated.
