Summary
The purpose of the study is to learn whether the study drug (capmatinib) helps to control lung cancer better compared to a single agent chemotherapy (docetaxel) and whether it is safe when given to patients suffering from a particular type of lung cancer. This type of cancer is called non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with certain specific genetic alterations (called mutations) of a gene called MET, within a specific part of the gene called exon 14.
Description
Approximately 90 people with advanced or metastatic lung cancer, with these specific mutations in the MET gene but without changes in their epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) genes, will be enrolled in this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to get either capmatinib or docetaxel in a 2 to 1 ratio. The randomization will be stratified by prior lines of systemic therapy received for advanced/metastatic disease (one line vs. two lines).
During treatment, visits will be scheduled every 21 days.
For all participants, the respective treatment (either with capmatinib or docetaxel) may be continued beyond initial disease progression as per RECIST 1.1 (as assessed by the investigator and confirmed by BIRC) if, in the judgment of the investigator, there is evidence of clinical benefit, and the participant wishes to continue on the study treatment. After treatment discontinuation, all participants will be followed for safety evaluations during the safety follow-up period, and the participant's status will be collected every 12 weeks as part of the survival follow-up.
Participants randomized to docetaxel treatment will be eligible to crossover to receive capmatinib treatment after BIRC-confirmed, RECIST 1.1-defined progressive disease and after meeting the eligibility criteria prior to crossover.
