General information
Class/mechanism: Small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, oral cMET inhibitor. Inhibits MET (mesenchymal-epithelial transition), including the mutant variant which results from exon 14 skipping. Cells with MET exon 14 skipping have a protein with a missing regulatory domain, which results in reduced negative regulation and therefore increased downstream MET signaling. Capmatinib was demonstrated to inhibit cancer cell growth driven by a mutant MET variant lacking exon 14.[1][2][3]

For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer. Instead, for the most current information, please refer to your preferred pharmacopeias such as Micromedex, Lexicomp, UpToDate (courtesy of Lexicomp), or the prescribing information.[1]

History of changes in FDA indication
- 5/6/2020: FDA accelerated approval for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors have a mutation that leads to mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) exon 14 skipping as detected by an FDA-approved test. (Based on GEOMETRY mono-1)
