Incyte (NASDAQ:INCY) announced Phase 2 preliminary results of the GEOMETRY mono-1 clinical trial of investigational MET inhibitor capmatinib in 94 adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring MET exon-14 skipping mutations. The GEOMETRY mono-1 study showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 72.0 percent (95% CI: 50.6-87.9) in treatment-naive patients and 39.1 percent (95% CI: 27.6-51.6) in previously treated patients. ORR was assessed by blinded independent review committee (BIRC). Adverse events (AEs) were consistent with previously reported data and no new safety signals were observed (see also Incyte Corporation).
Results of the Novartis-sponsored Phase 2 study were presented today at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2018 Congress (October 19, 2018 at 4:45 p.m. CEST / 10:45 a.m. EDT, Abstract LBA52).1 “These preliminary findings reveal the potential of capmatinib in MET exon-14 skipping mutated NSCLC patients. Compared to the previously treated patient groups, the primary advantage in terms of overall response rate reported in treatment-naive patients highlights the clinical relevance for an earlier diagnostic testing and prompt treatment of this challenging patient population,” said Juergen Wolf, M.D., University Hospital Cologne, Germany.
