Interim Data Presented from Two Ongoing Phase 2 Clinical Trials with Vebreltinib in NSCLC Patients with MetExon14 Skipping Mutation
“For the first time, we report the ORR of vebreltinib by GCN in NSCLC patients with MetExon14 skipping mutation. Similar efficacy analyses by GCN subgroup of other cMET inhibitors are either not readily available publicly or were reported to have lower ORR in NSCLC patients with MetExon14 skipping mutation alone without overlapping MET amplification. We are delighted these data from the two ongoing Phase 2 clinical trials showed a potential differentiation from other cMET inhibitors, and suggest vebreltinib has the potential to address patients’ unmet medical needs. The distribution of MET amplification status of patients in the NSCLC study with MetExon14 skipping mutation in the vebreltinib program is similar to those reported in U.S. public databases, thus likely close to a real-world setting,” said Guo-Liang Yu, Ph.D., co-founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Apollomics. “Particularly noteworthy is vebreltinib’s efficacy in the patient group without co-occurring MET amplification, offering hope for improved outcomes in this challenging-to-treat patient population.”
