    Background:
    MET dysregulation is one mechanism responsible for EGFR-TKI (epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor) resistance in patients (pts) with EGFR mutated lung cancer. INC280 is a potent oral small molecular inhibitor of the c-MET kinase. We conducted a phase I/II study of INC280 plus erlotinib to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose limiting toxicity (DLT), pharmacokinetics (PK) and antitumor activity of this combination. Tumor analysis of the EGFR and MET pathways was exploratory.
    
    Methods:
    Using a 3 + 3, dose escalation design, INC280 was increased over 5 dose levels (DL) from 100 - 600 mg po bid. Daily erlotinib was given at 100 mg in DL1 and 150 mg in DL 2- 6. DL 6 is a transition cohort from INC280 capsules (600 mg) to tablets (400 mg). Both agents were given for 28 days (1 cycle). Key eligibility included: lung adenocarcinoma with MET expression by a CLIA certified lab, age > 18, ECOG PS of < 2, acceptable organ function, and > 1 systemic therapy for advanced disease.
    
    Results:
    18 pts were treated on 6 dose levels. Pt characteristics: median age 59 (range 52-78), M/F (7/11), ECOG 0-1/2 (16/2), MET expression by IHC/FISH/RT-PCR/NGS (6/2/9/1), EGFR mutated tumors (9) and previously treated with erlotinib (12). 17 patients completed at least 1 cycle. One DLT (grade 3 neutropenia) occurred in DL 5 (Table 1). Common drug-related adverse events (AE) of any grade were rash (50%) and diarrhea (45%), fatigue (39%), anorexia and nausea (28% each) and increased alkaline phosphatase, hypoalbuminemia and paronychia (22% each). Drug-related grade 3/4 AE were anorexia, increased amylase or lipase and neutropenia (all 6%). PK analysis revealed that INC280 exhibited a linear PK and no interaction with erlotinib. Of the 17 evaluable patients, 3 (18%) patients had partial responses, 10 (59%) had stable disease, 3 of whom had a minor response (10-29% decrease in target lesion) (Table 1). Eight pts have received treatment for >3 months. Figure 1
    
    
    
    Conclusion:
    In patients with MET-expressing lung adenocarcinoma, INC280 plus erlotinib is feasible, tolerable and demonstrates anti-tumor activity. The recommended phase 2 doses are INC280 400 mg (tablets) bid plus erlotinib 150 mg daily. Three expansion cohorts have been initiated: 1 - EGFR mutated tumors refractory to an EGFR-TKI, 2 - EGFR-TKI naïve in the first line setting and 3 - WT EGFR that are EGFR-TKI naïve as second or third line therapy. Updated trial results from the expansion cohorts will be presented. NCT01911507
