{Abstract}: BACKGROUND: MET exon 14 skipping mutations occur in 3-4% and MET high amplifications occur in < 1% of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Crizotinib, a selective ATP-competitive small-molecule inhibitor of c-Met, ALK, and ROS1 tyrosine kinases, has shown activity in cancer models with various types of MET activation.
METHODS: The Co-MET study is a single-arm phase 2 trial to assess the safety and efficacy of crizotinib in MET inhibitor-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping mutation (cohort 1) or high MET gene copy number of ≥ 7 (cohort 2). The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 by independent radiology review in cohort 1. The key secondary endpoints were the duration of response (DoR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.
RESULTS: A total of 28 patients (23 in cohort 1 and 5 in cohort 2) were enrolled between March 2018 and February 2020. The primary endpoint was met as the ORR (90% confidence interval: CI) in cohort 1 was 38.1% (20.6-58.3). Median DoR, PFS, and OS (95% CI) were 7.6 (1.9-NE), 5.7 (2.1-11.3), 9.1 (4.0-19.9) months, respectively, in cohort 1. ORR in cohort 2 was 40.0% (18.9-92.4). The safety signals were generally consistent with the known safety profile of crizotinib.
CONCLUSIONS: Crizotinib showed a clinical activity similar to that of tepotinib and capmatinib in patients with NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping mutations.
