Background: Capmatinib is a selective MET inhibitor with demonstrated efficacy in a phase II study of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring METex14 mutations. However, the real-world outcomes of capmatinib are largely unknown. From June 2019, the French Early Access Program (EAP) provided capmatinib to METex14 NSCLC patients who were ineligible for or for whom first-line standard therapies had failed., Methods: IFCT-2104 CAPMATU was a multicenter study that included all METex14 NSCLC patients who received capmatinib as part of the EAP until August 2021. The primary endpoints were time to treatment failure (TTF), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and objective response rate (ORR)., Results: A total of 146 patients were included. The median age was 74.9 years, 56.6 % were never-smokers, and 32.4 % had brain metastases. The median TTF, median PFS and median OS from capmatinib initiation were 5.1 months (95 % CI 4.2-6.0), 4.8 months (95 % CI 4.0-6.0) and 10.4 months (95 % CI 8.3-13.2), respectively. Evaluation of the best response to capmatinib was available for 134 patients and resulted in an ORR of 55.3 % (95 % CI 46.8 %-63.6 %). The median PFS was 7.7 months for treatment-naïve patients and 6.0 and 4.1 months for patients who had received one or 2 + prior lines of treatment, respectively. For patients with brain metastases, the median PFS was 3.0 months. Capmatinib had a known and manageable safety profile, with grade 3 to 4 adverse events, mostly peripheral edema (8.2 %), occurring in 17.8 % of patients., Conclusion: In this large real-world study of METex14 NSCLC patients, the efficacy of capmatinib was confirmed, with a manageable safety profile, even in patients with brain metastases and in those who received several lines of treatment. This study reinforces the key role of capmatinib for these patients., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: M.
