MET dysregulation occurs in up to 26% of non–small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) after epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)–tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. Capmatinib (INC280) is a potent and selective MET inhibitor with preclinical activity in combination with gefitinib in EGFR-mutant, MET-amplified/overexpressing models of acquired EGFR-TKI resistance. This phase Ib/II study investigated the safety and efficacy of capmatinib plus gefitinib in patients with EGFR-mutated, MET-dysregulated (amplified/overexpressing) NSCLC who experienced disease progression while receiving EGFR-TKI treatment.

Patients in phase Ib received capmatinib 100- to 800-mg capsules once per day or 200- to 600-mg capsules or tablets twice per day, plus gefitinib 250 mg once per day. Patients in phase II received the recommended phase II dose. The primary end point was the overall response rate …
