Tepotinib Phase II in NSCLC Harboring MET Alterations (VISION)

A Phase II Single-arm Trial to Investigate Tepotinib in Advanced (Locally Advanced or Metastatic) Non-small Cell Lung Cancer With METex14 Skipping Alterations or MET Amplification (VISION)

This study looked at how effective the study drug (tepotinib) was at stopping the growth and spread of lung cancer. This study also measures a number of other things including safety of the study drug and the side effects, how body processes the study drug, or how the study drug affects your quality of life. The study also has an optional pharmacogenetic research part. Pharmacogenetic research is an important way to try to understand the role of genetics in human disease and how genes impact the effectiveness of drugs, because differences in genes can change the way a person responds to a particular drug.

The study included 3 cohorts with one primary endpoint (Objective Response Rate). Enrollment number and completion data is changed by new cohorts.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Signed, written informed consent by participant or legal representative prior to any trial-specific screening procedure

• A woman of childbearing potential who agrees to use a highly effective contraception
• A male participant must agree to use and to have their female partners of childbearing potential to use a highly effective contraception
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) NSCLC (all types including squamous and sarcomatoid)
• Treatment naïve participant in first-line or pretreated participant with no more than 2 lines of prior therapy
• Participants with MET alterations, namely METex14 skipping alterations in plasma and/or tissue as determined by the central laboratory or by an assay with appropriate regulatory status

Exclusion Criteria:

• Any unresolved toxicity Grade 2 or more according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) from previous anticancer therapy
• Need for transfusion within 14 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment
• Prior chemotherapy, biological therapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy for anti-cancer purposes, targeted therapy, or other investigational anticancer therapy (not including palliative radiotherapy at focal sites) within 21 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment;
• Participants who have brain metastasis as the only measurable lesion
• Inadequate hematological, liver, renal, cardiac function
• Prior treatment with other agents targeting the Hepatocyte Growth Factor c(HGF/c) -Met pathway
• Hypertension uncontrolled by standard therapies (not stabilized to < 150/90 mmHg)

• Medical history of difficulty swallowing, malabsorption, or other chronic gastrointestinal disease, or conditions that may hamper compliance and/or absorption of the test product
• Major surgery within 28 days prior to Day 1 of trial treatment
• Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus, or an active infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus
• Substance abuse, active infection, or other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormalities that might increase the risk associated with trial participation at the discretion of Investigators
• Known hypersensitivity to any of the trial treatment ingredients
• Legal incapacity or limited legal capacity
• Any other reason that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, precludes the participant from participating in the trial
• Participation in another clinical trial within the past 30 days
