Study of Capmatinib in Chinese Adult Patients With Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Harboring MET Exon 14 Skipping Mutation

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2024-01-23

Summary

The purpose of the study is to learn whether the study treatment (capmatinib), which already shows efficacy and safety in non-Chinese patients, could help Chinese patients with controlling their lung cancer in a safe way. Participants will have a type of lung cancer called non-small cell lung lancer (NSCLC), with a specific alteration in a part of their DNA (called mutation) of the MET gene, within a specific part of this gene called exon 14.

Participants who have advanced (or metastatic) non-small cell lung cancer with specific mutations in the MET gene but without mutations in the EGFR or ALK genes, who are aged 18 years or older will be enrolled in this study.

The study drug, capmatinib (also known as INC280), is an oral drug that is called a 'targeted' medicine, which means it targets particular processes that may not be working properly in cancer cells (called dysregulation). The dysregulation of the MET signaling in cancer cells of patients with NSCLC is believed to make the cancer worse. Capmatinib has been shown to selectively block the effects of the MET gene and therefore may help in keeping the disease under control, stopping cancer cells from growing.
