Abstract

Background: This study provides comparative evidence of the selective MET inhibitor capmatinib versus standard of care (SOC) in first-line (1 L) and second-line (2 L) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with METex14 mutations in German routine care. Methods: SOC data were collected from German routine care via retrospective chart review. Analyses were conducted as naive and propensity score adjusted (PSA) comparisons to capmatinib-treated patients within the GEOMETRY mono-1 trial. Effectiveness endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), time to CNS progression (CNSprog), and exploratory safety endpoints. Results: The SOC arm included 119 patients in 1 L and 46 in 2 L versus 60 patients in 1 L and 81 in 2 L treated with capmatinib, with balanced baseline characteristics after PSA. In 1 L, the naive comparison showed a significant benefit of capmatinib versus SOC for OS (median: 25.49 vs 14.59 months; HR 0.58; 95 % CI 0.39–0.87; P = 0.011), PFS (median: 12.45 vs 5.03 months; HR: 0.44; 95 % CI: 0.31–0.63; P < 0.001), and ORR (event rate: 68.3 vs 26.9 %; RR 2.54; 95 % CI 1.80–3.58; P < 0.001). In 2 L, OS, PFS, and ORR showed positive trends favoring capmatinib over SOC. Capmatinib treatment in the 1 L and 2 L led to significant benefit in CNSprog. PSA analyses showed consistent results to naive analysis. Exploratory safety endpoints indicated a manageable safety profile for capmatinib. Conclusions: The present study demonstrates the important role of capmatinib in providing robust clinically meaningful benefit to patients with NSCLC harboring METex14 mutations and its significant role in preventing the development of brain metastases.
