Registration Number
NCT04647838
Lead Sponsor
Chungbuk National University Hospital
Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to understand efficacy of tepotinib in patients with solid cancers harbouring c-MET amplification or exon 14 mutation who progressed after standard treatment for metastatic disease.

Detailed Description

This study is a basket trial with two strata(NSCLC and other cancer). If MET exon 14 skipping mutation or MET amplification(copy number gain ≥6.0 ) is detected by NGS method, then confirmation of genetic findings by Molecular Steering Committee will be followed. Patient can participate in this trial after confirmation of genetic analysis and reviewing other inclusion/exclusion criteria.

  3. Subjects who have disease progression or are intolerant to the prior standard treatment for advanced solid cancers
  4. A tumor biopsy (excluding fine needle aspiration and cytology samples) is required for determining MET status (a fresh pretreatment tumor biopsy is recommended but archived tumor sample is acceptable).
  5. Patients with MET exon 14 skipping mutation detected by NGS method and c-MET copy number gain (≥6.0) in the archival or fresh tumor tissue specimen identified in K-MASTER panel. All genetic findings must be reviewed by the study Molecular Steering Committee, prior to study entry.

  15. Patients who received local treatment within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of tepotinib (e.g., major surgery, radiation therapy, hepatic arterial embolization, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation, percutaneous ethanol injection, or cryoablation). NOTE: palliative radiotherapy should be completed at least 7 days prior to the first administration of the tepotinib.

  16. Prior history of organ transplant

  17. Laboratory index at screening(refer to protocol)

  18. Past or current history of neoplasm other than current cancer, except for curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer, in situ carcinoma of the cervix, node-negative thyroid cancer or other cancer curatively treated and with no evidence of disease for at least 3 years

  19. Known central nervous system (CNS) or brain metastasis that is either symptomatic or untreated

  20. Medical history of difficulty swallowing, malabsorption, or other chronic gastrointestinal disease, or conditions that may hamper compliance and/or absorption of the tested products

  21. Clinically significant gastrointestinal bleeding within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of tepotinib.

  22. Impaired cardiac function(refer to protocol)

  23. Hypertension uncontrolled by standard therapies (not stabilized to ≤ 150/90 mmHg)

  24. Subject with a family history of long QT syndrome or who take any agent that is known to prolong QT/QTc interval or with a marked prolongation of QT/QTc interval (e.g., repeated demonstration of a QTc interval > 450 msec)

  25. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

  26. Subjects who were diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and/or chronic pancreatitis by related symptoms or imaging study.

  27. Known or suspected drug hypersensitivity to any ingredients of tepotinib

  28. Female subjects who are pregnant or lactating, or males and females of reproductive potential not willing or not able to employ a highly effective method of birth control/contraception to prevent pregnancy from 2 weeks before receiving study drug until 3 months after receiving the last dose of study drug. A highly effective method of contraception is defined as having a low failure rate (< 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly.

  29. Concurrent treatment with anti-cancer therapy

  30. Substance abuse, other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition that may increase the risk associated with trial participation in the opinion of the Investigator

  31. Participation in another interventional clinical trial within 28 days prior to the first administration of tepotinib or within a time period that is less than the cycle length for the investigational treatment (whichever is shorter), or if the subject has any AE caused by the investigational treatment that has not recovered to Grade 0-1

  32. Previous anticancer treatment-related toxicities not recovered to baseline or Grade 1 (except alopecia) prior to administratin of tepotinib

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Objective response rates (RECIST1.1)Baseline up to 20 months

Objective response will be determined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by investigator.

Objective response is defined as either a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) from first administration of trial treatment to first observation of progressive disease (PD). CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30 percent (%) reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression free survivalBaseline until PD or death within 84 days of last tumor assessment; assessed up to 20 months

Progression free survival as assessed by investigators is defined as the time (in months) from the first administration of trial treatment to the date of the first documentation of PD (based on independent review) or death due to any cause within 84 days of the last tumor assessment, whichever occurs first

Overall survivalBaseline until death, assessed up to 20 months

Overall survival is defined as the time (in months) from first trial treatment administration to the date of death.

Toxicity and drug complianceFrom the first dose of study drug administration until 33 days after the last dose of study drug administration, assessed up to 20 Months

This outcome measure will be presented as the percentage of subjects with any adverse event (AE). Percentages are calculated using total number of subjects per treatment cohort as the denominator.

Disease control rateBaseline up to 20 months

Objective disease control is defined as either a confirmed CR or PR, or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 12 weeks (84 days) as assessed by investigator. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions.
