About this study

In plain language

This study tests how well glumetinib treats advanced non-small cell lung cancer and how safe it is. It is for adults whose cancer has certain changes in a gene or protein called MET.

Indication:Patients with Advanced c-MET-positive Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Phase Ib (China only): Approximately 90 patients Phase Ⅱ (globally): Approximately 78 evaluable patients; addition of at least 6 patients in Safety Run-in (US only)

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Agree to join after learning about the study. Be at least 18, or the legal adult age where you live if it is higher.
  • Have non-small cell lung cancer confirmed by tissue or cell testing. It must be stage IV, or stage IIIb or IIIc that cannot be treated with surgery or chemotherapy and radiation together.
  • For Phase Ib: have extra copies of MET, high MET protein levels, or a MET exon 14 skipping gene change. People with the skipping change must have had a MET-targeted drug or at least 3 other courses of drug treatment.
  • For Phase II: have a MET exon 14 skipping gene change found in a tumor or blood sample.
  • Provide a fresh or stored tumor tissue sample, as required for your study group.
  • For Phase II: be unable to have chemotherapy, choose not to have it after learning about it, or have had 1 or 2 prior drug treatments that stopped working or caused side effects you could not tolerate.
  • For Phase II: have at least one tumor that can be measured.
  • Be fully active or able to do light work. Blood counts, liver and kidney function, and blood clotting tests must meet study limits.

Who can't join

  • Have certain EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, or NTRK gene changes that have standard treatments available.
  • Have cancer in the brain or spinal cord that causes unstable symptoms or needs higher steroid doses. Controlled cancer in these areas may be allowed under study rules.
  • Have used a MET-targeted treatment before, unless you have the MET exon 14 skipping change and are joining Phase Ib.
  • Have another past or current cancer, except certain early cancers or cancer cured with no signs of disease for at least 5 years.
  • Have serious heart or blood vessel disease, certain abnormal heart rhythms, or blood pressure that stays too high despite treatment.
  • Still have more than mild side effects from earlier treatment, except hair loss or moderate nerve damage.
  • Have active hepatitis B or C, or HIV that does not meet local study rules. HIV rules differ by country.
  • Have had cancer drugs, radiation, major surgery, or a serious injury too recently, or need medicines or supplements that are not allowed during the study.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Provide informed consent voluntarily. 2. Male and female patients ≥ 18 years of age (or having reached the age of majority according to local laws and regulations, if the age is \> 18 years). 3. Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of NSCLC including PSC. 4. Patients with stage IIIb or IIIc NSCLC who are not candidates for definitive surgical resection or concurrent chemoradiation or patients with stage IV NSCLC (AJCC version 8). 5. For Phase Ib study, patients should carry at least one of the following MET alterations (by local or Sponsor-designated central laboratory screening): * METex14 skipping mutation who had previously treated by other MET inhibitor(s) or * METex14 skipping mutation who had received 3 or more lines prior systemic therapies without MET inhibitor for the advanced NSCLC or * MET amplification GCN ≥ 4 or MET/CEP7 ratio ≥ 2) or * MET over-expression (IHC2+). 6. For Phase II study, patients with METex14 skipping mutation in tumor or ctDNA samples (local testing is acceptable for eligibility, however if the results of the central laboratory is available, the report of the central laboratory shall prevail); all patients in Phase II study will have confirmation of METex14 skipping mutation by Sponsor-designated central laboratory but this result is not necessary for eligibility. 7. Availability of tumor tissue sample (either fresh tumor biopsy or archival tumor tissue sample); for patients of phase II study (not mandatory for safety run-in), if screened and enrolled based on local test results of METex14 skipping, the tumor tissue sample must be available for central laboratory testing before C2D1; if local testing results meet the requirements, patients of phase Ib are exempt from the central laboratory confirm. 8. For Phase II study, patients are not eligible for chemotherapy or refuse chemotherapy after well-informed or have failed one or two prior lines of systemic therapies for the advanced NSCLC. * Treatment failure is defined as documented disease progression or intolerance to treatment. * Maintenance therapy given after first line chemotherapy will be considered as part of the first line if given to patients with documented response or stable disease before starting the maintenance therapy. * Prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant systematic therapies will count as one prior line of treatment, provided that disease recurred within 12 months of completion of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy. 9. For Phase II study, at least one measurable lesion as per RECIST 1.1. (A previously irradiated site lesion may only be counted as a target lesion if there is clear sign of progression since the irradiation.) 10. ECOG Performance Status (PS): 0-1. 11. Adequate bone marrow reserve, renal and liver function: * Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L; * Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; * Platelet count ≥ 75 × 109/L; * Serum total bilirubin ≤ ULN (≤ 3 × ULN for patients with Gilbert's syndrome); * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN (≤ 5.0 × ULN for patients with hepatic metastasis); * Creatinine clearance (calculated\* or measured value\*\*) ≥ 50 mL/min * For calculated creatinine clearance (Ccr) value, the eligibility should be determined using the Cockcroft-Gault formula: * Male Ccr (mL/mim) = body weight (kg) x (140-age)/\[72 x creatinine (mg/dL)\] * Female Ccr (mL/min) = male Ccr x 0.85 \*\* A measured value * International normalized ratio (INR) \< 1.3 (or \< 3.0 if on anticoagulation) Exclusion Criteria: Patients who meet any of the following criteria shall be excluded from the study: 1. Patients with targetable activating EGFR mutation, ALK rearrangement, ROS1 rearrangement, BRAF mutation or NTRK fusion that have available standard of care therapies. 2. Patients who have symptomatic CNS metastasis which is neurologically unstable or those who have CNS disease requiring increase in the dose of steroid. (Note: Patients with controlled CNS metastasis can participate in the trial. Before entering the study, patients should have finished radiotherapy, or have received operation for CNS tumor metastasis at least two weeks before. Patients' neurological function must be in a stable state; no new neurological deficit is found during clinical examination and no new problem is found during CNS imaging examinations. If patients need to use steroids to treat CNS metastasis, the therapeutic dose of steroid should be stable for ≥ 3 months at least two weeks prior to entering the study with treatment dose no more than dexamethasone 4 mg daily or an equivalent dose of steroids.) 3. Prior exposure to MET-directed therapy (except patients harboring METex14 skipping in Phase Ib study). 4.
