Amivantamab + Capmatinib for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
(METalmark Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to identify the recommended Phase 2 combination dose (RP2CD\[s\]) of the amivantamab and capmatinib combination therapy in participants with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Phase 1 (combination dose selection), and to evaluate the antitumor effect of the amivantamab and capmatinib combination therapy in mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) exon 14 skipping mutation and MET amplified NSCLC, when administered at the selected RP2CD(s) in Phase 2 (expansion).
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on high-dose corticosteroids, you may need to adjust your dosage to meet the trial's criteria.
Is Amivantamab safe for humans?
What makes the drug combination of Amivantamab and Capmatinib unique for treating non-small cell lung cancer?
The combination of Amivantamab and Capmatinib is unique because Amivantamab is a bispecific antibody that targets both EGFR and MET, which are proteins involved in cancer cell growth, and Capmatinib specifically targets MET. This dual targeting approach is particularly beneficial for patients with specific genetic mutations (EGFR Exon 20 insertions) in non-small cell lung cancer, offering a novel mechanism of action compared to traditional chemotherapy.13456
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug combination Amivantamab and Capmatinib for treating non-small cell lung cancer?
Amivantamab has shown effectiveness in treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with specific mutations, achieving a 40% response rate in patients with certain genetic profiles. It is approved for use in NSCLC patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations after chemotherapy, and ongoing trials are exploring its use in combination with other drugs.14678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults with Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer that can't be surgically removed. They should have stable brain metastases, no history of certain lung diseases or gastrointestinal issues affecting drug absorption, and controlled tumor-related pain. Participants must not need high doses of steroids and should be in good physical condition (ECOG 0 or 1).Inclusion Criteria
