Abstract 593P
Background
Multiple MET TKIs are approved or under regulatory review in Asia for treatment of advanced METex14 NSCLC. However, head-to-head studies are lacking. We conducted MAICs of tepotinib vs savolitinib, gumarontinib, or capmatinib in pts in Asia.
Methods
Pt-level data for pts enrolled in Asia in VISION (tepotinib, global trial; data cut-off: Nov 20, 2022) were reweighted to match the baseline characteristics of the overall populations of NCT02897479 (savolitinib, Asian trial) and GLORY (gumarontinib, Asian trial), and pts enrolled in Asia in GEOMETRY mono-1 Cohorts 4/5b (capmatinib, global trial). Pts were stratified by first-/second- or later-line (1L/2L+). Subgroup analyses evaluated VISION pts with METex14 in tissue biopsies (T+). ORR and PFS by IRC, and OS were compared.
Results
Compared with VISION pts overall (n=313), outcomes were similar in pts enrolled in Asia (n=107), or T+ pts in Asia (n=87). Before reweighting, T+ pts enrolled in Asia had an ORR of 67% (95% CI: 53, 80), median (m) PFS of 16.5 months (11.0, ne [not evaluable]), and mOS of 32.7 months (19.1, ne) in 1L (n=46), and ORR of 49% (34, 64), mPFS of 13.8 months (6.9, ne), and mOS of 23.9 months (19.3, ne) in 2L+ (n=41). After reweighting, PFS and OS appeared longer with tepotinib vs savolitinib and gumarontinib in 1L and 2L+ (Table). PFS also seemed longer with tepotinib vs capmatinib in 1L (tepotinib effective sample size [ESS]=5.6; capmatinib, n=3; mPFS: 49.7 [15.9, ne] vs 5.5 months [4.5, ne]) and 2L+ (tepotinib ESS=29.6; capmatinib, n=17; mPFS: 11.1 [5.6, ne] vs 5.0 months [4.1, ne]). Corresponding capmatinib OS data were not available. Improvements with tepotinib vs comparators were also seen in VISION pts overall and pts in Asia, regardless of T+ status. Table: 593P

Conclusions
Based on available evidence (with limited capmatinib subgroup size), the MAICs show no clinically relevant differences in ORR and trends for longer PFS and/or OS with tepotinib vs savolitinib, gumarontinib, or capmatinib in pts in Asia in 1L and 2L+.
