Official study title

Phase II of Neoadjuvant and Adjuvant Capmatinib in NSCLC

Study summary

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.

Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria

Key 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. Key

Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion 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). Other protocol-defined inclusion/
