Vebreltinib for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Harboring c-Met Exon 14 Skipping Mutation: A Multicenter, Single-Arm, Phase II KUNPENG Study.

Purpose: The KUNPENG study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vebreltinib (also known as bozitinib, APL-101, PLB-1001, and CBT-101), a potent and highly selective inhibitor of c-mesenchymal-epithelial transition (), in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring c-Met alterations.

Methods: This multicenter, multicohort, open-label, single-arm, phase II trial enrolled patients with c-Met dysregulated, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC from January 2020 to August 2022 across 17 centers. Cohort 1 included patients with exon 14 skipping (ex14)-mutant NSCLC who had not previously received inhibitors.
