“…Savolitinib is a potent small-molecule reversible MET kinase inhibitor that inhibits MET kinase with an IC 50 of 4 nmol/L in MET-amplified cancer cell lines. A phase II trial of savolitinib monotherapy in 44 patients with METaltered papillary renal cell carcinoma showed very promising results, including 8 PRs (32). Our savolitinib monotherapy arm met the prespecified 6-week PFS rate, indicating that this treatment is worthy of phase III exploration in the METamplified subset of patients with gastric cancer (3%-5%; refs.…”

Tumor Genomic Profiling Guides Patients with Metastatic Gastric Cancer to Targeted Treatment: The VIKTORY Umbrella Trial

The VIKTORY (targeted agent eValuation In gastric cancer basket KORea) trial was designed to classify patients with metastatic gastric cancer based on clinical sequencing and focused on eight different biomarker groups (RAS aberration, TP53 mutation, PIK3CA mutation/amplification, MET amplification, MET overexpression, all negative, TSC2 deficient, or RIC-TOR amplification) to assign patients to one of the 10 associated clinical trials in second-line (2L) treatment. Capivasertib (AKT inhibitor), savolitinib (MET inhibitor), selumetinib (MEK inhibitor), adavosertib (WEE1 inhibitor), and vistusertib (TORC inhibitor) were tested with or without chemotherapy. Seven hundred seventy-two patients with gastric cancer were enrolled, and sequencing was successfully achieved in 715 patients (92.6%). When molecular screening was linked to seamless immediate access to parallel matched trials, 14.7% of patients received biomarker-assigned drug treatment. The biomarker-assigned treatment cohort had encouraging response rates and survival when compared with conventional 2L chemotherapy. Circulating tumor (ctDNA) analysis demonstrated good correlation between high MET copy number by ctDNA and response to savolitinib. SIGNIFICANCE:Prospective clinical sequencing revealed that baseline heterogeneity between tumor samples from different patients affected response to biomarker-selected therapies. VIKTORY is the first and largest platform study in gastric cancer and supports both the feasibility of tumor profiling and its clinical utility.

“…Copy‐number alterations were detected in 81% of type 1 PRCC patients and in 46% of type 2 PRCC patients. Savolitinib, a specific MET inhibitor, was effective for MET ‐driven PRCC . The mPFS was 6.2 months in MET ‐driven PRCC and 1.4 months in MET ‐independent diseases ( P < 0.001).…”

Sunitinib is the most examined drug because of its effectiveness in retrospective studies and clinical trials, and is the preferred first-line drug in the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guideline. Temsirolimus is an option as a first-line drug, especially for poor-risk non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients. Everolimus, pazopanib, axitinib and nivolmab might also be viable options. Clinical trials are still required to gather evidence regarding non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma treatment. Because each non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma has a different genetic background and molecular features, specific treatment for each non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma should be established. From the results of a Japanese multicenter study, tyrosine kinase inhibitors might be better used for metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma in both first-and second-line settings. Both tyrosine kinase inhibitors and mammalian target of rapamicin inhibitors are effective for metastatic chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, but the preferred first-line drug has not been determined. Platinum-based chemotherapies are currently recommended for metastatic collecting duct carcinoma, and anti-angiogenic drugs are effective in some cases. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors, especially sunitinib, appear to be effective for X11.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma among the microphthalmia-associated transcription family of translocation renal cell carcinomas. Evidence is still lacking regarding the treatment for other rare non-clear cell renal cell carcinomas. Appropriate sequential therapies using antivascular endothelial growth factor therapies, mammalian target of rapamicin inhibitors and immuno-oncology drugs should be established for each nonclear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction: Activation of the MET pathway through MET amplifications or mutations is present in 3-4% of stage IV non-squamous non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). High MET amplifications and exon 14 skipping mutations are associated with poor prognosis: new treatments are needed for these patients. Capmatinib is a highly selective, potent small-molecule MET inhibitor with antitumor activity in NSCLC in vitro and in vivo. Areas covered: This article provides an overview of the capmatinib clinical development program in NSCLC, both as monotherapy in NSCLC with a dysregulated MET pathway, and in combination with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor therapy in EGFR-mutant NSCLC with MET-based acquired resistance to previous EGFR inhibition. Expert opinion: In the GEOMETRY Mono-1 study, treatment with capmatinib resulted in high response rates in stage IV NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping mutations, particularly in first line, supporting testing for this biomarker at the time of diagnosis. Durable responses have been reported and results in MET-amplified NSCLC are eagerly anticipated. In EGFR-mutant NSCLC, notable responses have been observed in combination with an EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in case of acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs based on high MET amplification.
