capmatinib in combination with spartalizumab

Capmatinib

spartalizumab placebo

A double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized, phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of capmatinib (INC280) and spartalizumab (PDR001) combination therapy versus capmatinib and placebo as first line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with MET exon 14 skipping (METΔex14) mutations

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of capmatinib in combination with spartalizumab in treatment naive patients with EGFR wild-type, ALK rearrangement negative advanced NSCLC, harboring METΔex14 mutations.

A run-in part (Part 1) was conducted to determine the anti-tumor activity and safety of capmatinib in combination with spartalizumab. Upon review of safety data and confirmation of anti-tumor activity in Part 1, the randomized part (Part 2) was planned to be initiated to compare the efficacy and safety of capmatinib plus spartalizumab to capmatinib plus placebo.

Combined treatment of METΔex14 mutated NSCLC with capmatinib and spartalizumab was expected to result in improved efficacy compared to each single agent due to direct targeting of an oncogenic driver (MET) as well as more efficient stimulation of an anti-tumor immune response than with PD-1 blockade alone.

The study enrollment was halted on 28-Jul-2021 per sponsor's decision. The enrollment halt decision was based on lack of tolerability observed in capmatinib and spartalizumab combination treatment in the run-in part (Part 1) of the trial.

Following the study enrollment halt during Part 1 (Run in Part), Part 2 was not initiated.

Immediately following the enrollment halt:

* All ongoing subjects were discontinued from spartalizumab treatment and continue to receive single agent capmatinib
* Enrolled subjects who had not started study treatment were to receive capmatinib single agent treatment from the start

Run-in part: single arm, open-label.

Randomized part: two-arms parallel assignment, double-blinded, placebo control

Tumor response was based on local investigator assessment as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. ORR per RECIST v1.1 is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR).

For RECIST v1.1, CR=Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm; PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.

PFS is defined as the time from the date of start of treatment to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause. Tumor response based on blinded independent review committee (BIRC) assessment per RECIST v1.1.

Number of participants with at least one dose reduction of capmatinib and number of participants with at least one dose interruption of capmatinib.

Number of participants with at least one dose reduction of spartalizumab and number of participants with at least one dose interruption of spartalizumab. Dose reductions were not allowed for spartalizumab.

Dose intensity of capmatinib was calculated as actual cumulative dose in milligrams divided by duration of exposure in days.

Dose intensity of spartalizumab was calculated as actual cumulative dose in milligrams divided by duration of exposure in days and then multiplied by the duration of one cycle (28 days).

DCR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Stable Disease (SD), and non-CR/non-progressive disease (for subjects without target lesions). Tumor response was based on local investigator assessment per RECIST v1.1.

For RECIST v1.1, CR=Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm; PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters; SD= Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for progression).

PFS is defined as the time from the date of start of treatment to the date of the first documented progression or death due to any cause. If a patient did not have an event, PFS was censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment. Tumor response was based on investigator assessment per RECIST v1.1. Progression is defined using RECIST v1.1 as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. In addition, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

PFS was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates.

The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) contains 30 items and is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain), 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial impact) and a global health status/QoL scale. All scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. For the functional and the global QoL scales, a higher score indicates better health. For the symptom scales, a higher score indicates more symptom burden. The QLQ-C30 summary score (0-100) is calculated as the mean of 13 of the 15 QLQ-C30 scale and item scores (excluding global QoL and financial impact), with a higher score indicating a better health-related QoL.

EORTC QLQ-LC13 is used in conjunction with the EORTC QLQ-C30 and provides information on an additional 13 items specifically related to lung cancer. The five domains of the LC13 include pain, dyspnea, coughing and hemoptysis, and are based on their presence over the past week. All but the pain domain are scored on a 4 point Likert scale ranging from "not at all" to "very much". Pain score is based on its presence, hence yes or no. Scores are averaged and transformed to 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a higher presence of symptoms.

The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized measure of health utility that provides a single index value for one's health status. The EQ-5D-5L contains one item for each of five dimensions of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). Response options for each item vary from having no problems to extreme problems. Subject responses to the five dimensions of HRQOL reflect a specific health state that corresponds to a population preference weight for that state on a continuous scale of 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health). A visual analog scale (ranging from 0 to 100) is also included to capture subject's rating of their overall health status. Higher scores of the EQ-5D-5L represent better health states.

EORTC QLQ-LC13 is used in conjunction with the EORTC QLQ-C30 and provides information on an additional 13 items specifically related to lung cancer. The five domains of the LC13 include pain in chest, dyspnea, coughing and hemoptysis, and are based on their presence over the past week. All but the pain domain are scored on a 4 point Likert scale ranging from "not at all" to "very much". Pain score is based on its presence, hence yes or no. Scores are averaged and transformed to 0 to 100. A higher score indicates a higher presence of symptoms.

The time to definitive 10 points deterioration is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of event, which is defined as at least 10 points relative to baseline worsening of the corresponding scale score or death due to any cause.

The EORTC QLQ-C30 contains 30 items and is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and pain), 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial impact) and a global health status/QoL scale.
