Abstract CT152: A multicenter Phase II study of savolitinib in patients with MET-amplified gastroesophogeal junction adenocarcinomas or gastric cancer

Background: MET gene amplification is associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer (GC) and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas (GEJ). Savolitinib is a potent and highly selective oral MET tyrosine-kinase inhibitor. Here we reported the preliminary efficacy and safety from a phase 2 trial of savolitinib monotherapy in patients (pts) with MET-amplified advanced or metastatic GC/GEJ. (NCT04923932). Methods: Eligible pts had 2L+ GEJ or GC, with MET amplification and measurable lesions. Pts received savolitinib at 600 mg QD for body weight (BW) ≥50 kg, while 400 mg QD for BW Results: As of IA, 20 pts were enrolled for QD regimen. Demographics and clinical outcomes are shown in table 1. The mean relative dose intensity of 93.07%. Median duration of exposure was 2.09 months. Confirmed ORR by IRC was 45%, and reached 50% in 16 patients with MET GCN (high) while only 1 PR was observed in 4 patients with MET GCN (low). Duration of response rate at 4-month was 85.7% with median follow up time of 5.5 months. The most common Gr≥3 TRAE (≥5%) were platelet count decreased, hypersensitivity, anemia, neutropenia and hepatic function abnormal. In all pts, only 1 patient discontinued treatment due to grade 4 liver function abnormal (TRAE) and no patient died due to TRAE. Conclusion: Savolitinib monotherapy had manageable safety and showed promising efficacy in pts with MET-amplified GEJ or GC, particularly in pts with MET high GCN. BID regimen is being investigated to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of savolitinib in pts with MET high GCN. Table 1.
