Study Summary

The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) has granted approval for Rahika® (Capmatinib) film-coated tablet 150 and 200 mg for the treatment of adult patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have a mutation that leads to MET exon 14 skipping mutation with condition to perform a Phase IV clinical trial in Indian patients. As recommended by DCGI, this Phase IV study has been planned to evaluate the safety and efficacy of capmatinib in treatment of adult Indian patients with advanced/metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have a MET exon 14 skipping mutation positive advanced NSCLC in any line of therapy.

Exceptions to this exclusioninclude the following: completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancersand completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type

  3. Patients with symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases who areneurologically unstable or have required increasing doses of steroids within the 2weeks prior to study entry to manage CNS symptoms.

  4. Patients with known druggable molecular alterations (such as ROS1 translocation orBRAF mutation, etc.) which might be a candidate for alternative targeted therapiesas applicable per local regulations and treatment guidelines.

  5. Presence or history of interstitial lung disease or interstitial pneumonitis,including clinically significant radiation pneumonitis (i.e., affecting activitiesof daily living or requiring therapeutic intervention).

  6. Patients with clinically significant heart diseases like unstable angina/acutemyocardial infarction within 6 months prior to screening, NYHA class III-IVcongestive cardiac failure, uncontrolled hypertension, arrhythmias or QTcF≥470 ms onthe screening electrocardiogram (ECG)

  7. Major surgery (e.g., intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic) within 4 weeksprior (2 weeks for resection of brain metastases) to starting capmatinib or who havenot recovered from side effects of such procedure. Video-assisted thoracic surgeryand mediastinoscopy will not be counted as major surgery and patients can beenrolled in the program ≥1 week after the procedure

  8. Thoracic radiotherapy to lung fields ≤4 weeks prior to starting capmatinib orpatients who have not recovered from radiotherapy-related toxicities. For all other anatomic sites (including radiotherapy to thoracic vertebrae andribs), radiotherapy ≤2 weeks prior to starting capmatinib or patients who have notrecovered from radiotherapy-related toxicities. Palliative radiotherapy for bonelesions ≤2 weeks prior to starting capmatinib is allowed.

  9. Impairment of gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantlyalter the absorption of capmatinib or patients who are unable to swallow oraltablets.

  10. Patients receiving treatment with strong inducers of CYP3A that cannot bediscontinued at least 1 week prior to the start of treatment with capmatinib and forthe duration of the study

  11. Unable or unwilling to swallow tablets as per dosing schedule

  12. Patients with known hypersensitivity to capmatinib and any of the excipients ofcapmatinib.

  13. Patients with any other severe, acute or chronic medical or psychotic conditions orsignificant abnormal physical findings that in the opinion of the investigator mayincrease the risk associated with study participation or that may interfere with theinterpretation of study results.

  14. Previous (within 28 days) or concomitant participation in another clinical studywith investigational medicinal product(s).

  15. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women.

  16. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable ofbecoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraceptionwhile taking study treatment and for 7 days after stopping study treatment. Highlyeffective contraception methods include:

  • Total abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyleof the patient. Note that periodic abstinence (e.g. calendar, ovulation,symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not considered highlyeffective and therefore not acceptable methods of contraception.

  • Female sterilization (have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or withouthysterectomy), total hysterectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation at least sixweeks before taking study treatment. In case of oophorectomy alone, only whenthe reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow-up hormonelevel assessment.

  • Male sterilization (at least 6 months prior to screening). For female patientson the study, the vasectomized male partner should be the sole partner for thatpatient

  • Use of oral, (estrogen and progesterone), injected, or implanted hormonalmethods of contraception or placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterinesystem, or other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy (failure rate <1%), for example hormone vaginal ring or transdermal hormonecontraception. In case of use of oral contraception women should have beenstable on the same pill for a minimum of 3 months before taking treatment.

  1. Sexually active males unwilling to use a condom during intercourse while takingstudy treatment and for 7 days after stopping study treatment. A condom is requiredfor all sexually active male patients to prevent them from fathering a child AND toprevent delivery of study treatment via seminal fluid to their partner. In addition,male patients must not donate sperm for the time period specified above.

  2. Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicatepatient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns or compliancewith clinical study procedures, e.g., active infection (including active hepatitis Band C, SARS-CoV-2), inflammation, intestinal obstruction, unable to swallowmedication, social/ psychological issues, etc.

Study Description

This is a Phase IV, prospective, multicenter, open-label, interventional study. The study will include approximately 50 patients. The study will include molecular prescreening (28 days for patients who do not have documented MET exon 14 skipping mutation positive results), screening period (28 days), treatment period of 24 weeks, end of treatment (EOT) visit, and follow-up period of 30 days post last dose of study treatment. During the treatment period, study treatment will be administered as capmatinib 400 mg orally as twice daily (BID) on a continuous dosing schedule for 24 weeks. The treatment with capmatinib will be started only when the previous anti-cancer treatment was stopped within 4 weeks or ≥5 x half-life (whichever is longer) in subject who were on prior line/s of treatment. The treatment period begins on Day 1 of Cycle 1. Each treatment cycle will be of 21 days. Cycle 2 will start on Day 22 of the study and will be considered as Cycle 2 Day 22 (C2D22) and so on if there is no temporary discontinuation

Patients may be discontinued from treatment earlier due to unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, withdrawal of consent, or at the discretion of the investigator or the patient. These patients will have end of study (EOS) assessment 30 days after the administration of last dose of the study treatment.

Every effort will be made by Novartis to continue provision of study treatment capmatinib via post trial access (PTA) to the patients who are ongoing on treatment at the end of the planned duration of study and deriving clinical benefit. Patients transitioning to PTA will also have to compete the EOS Visit assessment after the last dose administration of capmatinib for the current study.
