Capmatinib in MET Exon 14–Mutated or MET-Amplified Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer
MET is altered by skipping exon 14 or gene amplification in 1 to 2% of patients with non–small-cell lung cancer. Capmatinib, a MET -specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, led to a response in 40% of previously treated patients and in 67% of previously untreated patients whose tumors had MET alterations...

Zusammenfassung: | MET
is altered by skipping exon 14 or gene amplification in 1 to 2% of patients with non–small-cell lung cancer. Capmatinib, a
MET
-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor, led to a response in 40% of previously treated patients and in 67% of previously untreated patients whose tumors had
MET
alterations, with a median response duration of 9 months and 12 months, respectively. |
