About This Trial

This clinical trial is looking at a drug called capmatinib. Capmatinib is approved as standard of care treatment for adult patients with certain types of lung cancer. This means it has gone through clinical trials and been approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the UK. Capmatinib works in patients with lung cancer with a particular mutation in their cancer known as a METex14 skipping mutation. Investigators now wish to find out if it will be useful in treating patients with other cancer types which have the same mutation or other specific mutations or changes which take place in the MET gene. If the results are positive, the study team will work with the NHS and the Cancer Drugs Fund to see if these drugs can be routinely accessed for patients in the future. This trial is part of a trial programme called DETERMINE. The programme will also look at other anti-cancer drugs in the same way, through matching the drug to rare cancer types or ones with specific mutations.

More detail

DETERMINE Treatment Arm 06 (capmatinib) aims to evaluate the efficacy of capmatinib in adult patients with rare\* cancers harbouring MET dysregulations and in common cancers where MET dysregulations are considered to be infrequent. \*Rare is defined generally as incidence less than 6 cases in 100,000 patients (includes paediatric and teenagers/young adult cancers) or common cancers with rare alterations. This treatment arm has a target sample size of 30 evaluable patients. Sub-cohorts may be defined and further expanded to a target of 30 evaluable patients each. The ultimate aim is to translate positive clinical findings to the NHS (Cancer Drugs Fund) to provide new treatment options for rare adult cancers. OUTLINE: Pre-screening: The Molecular Tumour Board makes a treatment recommendation for the patient based on molecularly-defined cohorts (See information on Master Screening Protocol below). Screening: Consenting patients undergo biopsy and collection of blood samples for research purposes. Treatment: Patients will receive capmatinib until disease progression without clinical benefit, unacceptable adverse events (AEs) or withdrawal of consent. Patients will also undergo collection of blood samples at various intervals while receiving treatment and at End of Treatment (EoT). After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years. THE DETERMINE TRIAL MASTER (SCREENING) PROTOCOL: Please see DETERMINE Trial Master (Screening) Protocol record (NCT05722886) for information on the DETERMINE Trial Master Protocol and applicable documents.

THE PATIENT MUST FULFIL THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA WITHIN THE DETERMINE MASTER PROTOCOL (NCT05722886) AND WITHIN THE TREATMENT ARM 06 (CAPMATINIB) OUTLINED BELOW\* \*When capmatinib-specific inclusion/exclusion criteria or precautions below differ from those specified in the Master Protocol, the capmatinib-specific criteria will take precedence. Inclusion criteria: A. Confirmed diagnosis of a MET-positive malignancy using an analytically next-generation sequencing method (METex14 skipping, MET amplification, MET fusion, or MET activating mutation). B. Adult patients ≥18 years old. C. Women of childbearing potential are eligible, provided that they meet the following criteria: * Have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test before enrolment, and * Agree to use one form of highly effective birth control method (a method that can achieve a failure rate of \<1% when used consistently and correctly), such as: I. combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation \[oral, intravaginal or transdermal\]) II. progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, or implantable) III. intrauterine device (IUD) IV. Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) V. bilateral tubal occlusion VI. vasectomised partner VII. sexual abstinence Effective from the first administration of capmatinib, throughout the trial and for seven days after the last administration of capmatinib. D. Male patients with partners who are women of childbearing potential are eligible provided that they agree to the following, from first administration of capmatinib, throughout the trial and for seven days after the last administration of capmatinib: * Agree to take measures not to father children by using a barrier method of contraception (e.g. condom) or sexual abstinence. * Non-vasectomised male patients with partners who are women of childbearing potential must also be willing to ensure that their partner uses a highly effective method of contraception, as in criterion C above. * Male patients with pregnant or lactating partners must be advised to use barrier method contraception (for example, condom) to prevent drug exposure of the foetus or neonate. All male patients must refrain from donating sperm for the same period. E. Patients must be able and willing to undergo a fresh biopsy at baseline and blood samples for translational research. Note that for patients with haematological malignancies or neuroblastomas, blood, bone marrow aspiration and/or trephine or lymph node biopsy samples may be taken. F. Adequate organ function as per haematological and biochemical indices within the ranges defined in the protocol. These measurements should be performed to confirm the patient's eligibility. Exclusion criteria: A. Diagnosis of NSCLC with METex14 skipping mutation or MET amplification. B. Prior treatment with a selective MET inhibitor or HGF-targeting therapy unless genetic profile demonstrates a mechanism of resistance known to be potentially sensitive to capmatinib. C. Carcinomatous meningitis. D. Presence or history of additional malignant disease that has been diagnosed and/or required therapy within the past three years. Exceptions to this exclusion include: completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers, and completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type. E. Presence or history of interstitial lung disease (ILD) and/or interstitial pneumonitis, including clinically significant radiation pneumonitis (i.e., affecting activities of daily living or requiring therapeutic intervention) and evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan. Prior localised radiotherapy related pneumonitis is permitted if resolved and off steroids and asymptomatic for at least six months. F. Clinically significant, uncontrolled heart disease such as: * Unstable angina within three months prior to screening * Myocardial infarction within three months prior to screening * History of documented congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification III-IV) * Uncontrolled hypertension defined by a systolic blood pressure ≥160 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mm Hg, with or without antihypertensive medication.
