Abstract 566P
Background
Promising clinical activity has been reported in the INSIGHT 2 (NCT03940703) study of tepotinib (TEP) + osimertinib (OSI) in patients with EGFR-mutant (m) NSCLC with MET amplification (METamp) progressing on first-line OSI, with an objective response rate (ORR) of 50.0% (95% CI: 39.7, 60.3) and median duration of response (mDOR) of 8.5 months (95% CI: 6.1, not estimable [ne]). In patients enrolled in Asia, ORR was 59.6% (95% CI: 45.1, 73.0) and mDOR was 7.3 months (95% CI: 4.7, ne). Given the high incidence of EGFRm NSCLC in Asia, we report comprehensive safety data for patients enrolled in Asia to inform patient care and management.
Methods
TEP 500 mg (450 mg active moiety) was administered in combination with OSI 80 mg QD until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal. To manage AEs, drugs could be dose reduced or discontinued as needed. AE severity was graded by NCI-CTCAE v5.0. Data cut-off: March 28, 2023.
Results
Of 128 patients receiving TEP+OSI, 76 (59.4%) were enrolled in Asia. Of patients in Asia, treatment-related AEs (TRAEs) of any grade occurred in 67 patients (88.2%), and Grade ≥3 TRAEs occurring in 26 patients (34.2%). The most common TRAEs were diarrhea in 34 patients (44.7%; all Grade 1 or 2) and peripheral edema in 30 patients (39.5%; including 3.9% Grade ≥3) (Table). TRAEs led to a dose reduction of TEP and/or OSI in 14 patients (18.4%). The most common TRAEs leading to dose reduction were peripheral edema and decreased appetite (n=3 each). TRAEs led to permanent discontinuation in six patients (7.9%), with pneumonitis being the most common TRAE leading to discontinuation (n=3). TRAEs that led to death occurred in three patients: one patient had platelet count decrease (disease progression), one patient had pneumonitis, and one patient had respiratory failure (COVID-19).

Conclusions
TEP+OSI was generally well tolerated in patients in Asia, comparable to the overall population. Most AEs were considered manageable with TEP and/or OSI dose modifications.
