Interim Data Presented from Two Ongoing Ph 2 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.”

“Between 2017 and 2023, the socioeconomic burden of HER2-positive breast cancer in ten major economies was nearly $590 billion, projected to increase to nearly $1,000 billion by 2032,” said Levi Garraway, M.D., Ph.D., Roche’s Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Product Development. “At-home treatment may help alleviate the pressure
Richard Saynor, CEO of Sandoz, said: “The global burden of cancer continues to grow and the potential to address unmet patient needs has never been greater. This agreement offers us the chance to reach many more millions of patients, while helping to drive the long-term sustainability of healthcare systems.”
“Beyond the second-line monotherapy opportunity, we and our partners at Pfizer have removed plans for a Phase 3 first-line combination trial with atirmociclib, as well as the planned Phase 3 second-line combination trial with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, from our joint development plan,” continued Dr. Houston. “This decision was made following
“The interim PFS analysis results demonstrated that, compared to the current standard treatment, KN026 in combination with chemotherapy significantly improved PFS, reduced the risk of disease progression or death, and showed a trend toward OS benefit. Detailed data from this study will be presented at an upcoming international academic conference.”
