Summary

This trial tested a combination of two drugs, capmatinib and osimertinib, for treating a specific type of advanced lung cancer in patients who did not respond to earlier treatments. The drugs aim to block proteins that help cancer grow. The study was stopped for business reasons, not because of safety issues. Osimertinib is approved for treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Awards & Highlights

Pivotal Trial

The final step before approval, pivotal trials feature drugs that have already shown basic safety & efficacy.

No Placebo-Only Group

All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Run-in part: Capmatinib + OsimertinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

In the run-in part, up to two dose levels of capmatinib in combination with osimertinib were planned to be investigated. The initial dose level for the combination therapy was capmatinib 400 mg orally twice daily (b.i.d) and osimertinib 80 mg orally once per day (q.d). If a dose de-escalation was necessary, a lower dose level was defined as capmatinib 400 mg orally b.i.d and osimertinib 40 mg orally q.d.

Group II: Randomized part: Capmatinib + OsimertinibExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

In the randomized part, capmatinib in combination with osimertinib was to be administered at the recommended Phase III regimen (defined in the safety run-in part). The study was terminated early based on Sponsor's decision unrelated to safety concerns and the randomized part of the study was not initiated.

Group III: Randomized Part: Platinum + Pemetrexed Based Doublet ChemotherapyActive Control3 Interventions

In the randomized part, platinum-pemetrexed based doublet chemotherapy was to follow local guidelines as per standard of care and products labels. Participants randomized to platinum-pemetrexed based doublet chemotherapy arm were to be allowed to crossover to receive capmatinib in combination with osimertinib. The study was terminated early based on Sponsor's decision unrelated to safety concerns and the randomized part of the study was not initiated.
