What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating capmatinib, a drug approved for certain lung cancers with a specific METex14 skipping mutation, to see if it is useful in treating other rare or common adult cancers that have mutations or changes in the MET gene. This trial is part of the DETERMINE program, which aims to match existing targeted therapies to rare cancers or cancers with specific genetic alterations, potentially expanding treatment options through the NHS and Cancer Drugs Fund. In this trial, adult patients with cancers harboring MET dysregulations will receive capmatinib orally at a dose of 800 mg daily (400 mg twice a day). Treatment cycles last 28 days, and patients will continue treatment until their disease progresses without benefit, they experience unacceptable side effects, or they choose to stop. Patients will have blood samples collected at various times during treatment and at the end of treatment. After treatment ends, they will be followed up every three months for two years. Participants will undergo screening that includes molecular testing of their tumor and biopsies or blood sample collections. Researchers will perform disease assessments regularly during treatment, typically every two cycles (each 28 days), and less frequently after 24 weeks. Outcomes measured include tumor response, clinical benefit, survival times, and quality of life surveys. Safety monitoring will continue for up to five years after treatment, and follow-up visits will assess participants every three months for two years to observe long-term effects.

Who Can Participate
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if you...
- Confirmed diagnosis of a MET-positive cancer using next-generation sequencing (including METex14 skipping, amplification, fusion, or activating mutation).
- Adult patients aged 18 years or older.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use effective birth control during and for seven days after treatment.
- Male patients with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use barrier contraception and ensure partner uses effective birth control during and for seven days after treatment.
- Ability and willingness to undergo a fresh biopsy at baseline and blood sample collection for research.
- Adequate organ function based on blood tests as defined in the protocol.
You will not qualify if you...
- Diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with METex14 skipping mutation or MET amplification.
- Prior treatment with selective MET inhibitors or HGF-targeting therapy unless resistant and potentially sensitive to capmatinib.
- Carcinomatous meningitis.
- Other cancers diagnosed or treated within the last three years, except certain skin cancers and carcinoma in situ.
- Interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis, including active pneumonitis on chest CT.
- Uncontrolled or significant heart disease including recent unstable angina, heart attack, heart failure, or uncontrolled hypertension.
- Recent cerebrovascular events within three months.
- Significant ECG abnormalities posing safety risks.
- Major surgery within four weeks before treatment (two weeks for brain surgery) or not recovered from surgery side effects.
- Use of strong CYP3A inducers that cannot be stopped before and during treatment.
- Conditions interfering with study conduct or drug absorption including serious gastrointestinal diseases.
- Active infections including uncontrolled hepatitis B, C, or HIV unless controlled under therapy.
- Known hypersensitivity to capmatinib ingredients.
- Neurologically unstable symptomatic CNS metastases or recent steroid dose increases for CNS symptoms.
- Use of enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants that cannot be stopped prior to treatment.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women or those planning pregnancy during and for seven days after treatment.
- Recent live attenuated vaccine within 28 days before enrollment or planned during treatment or six months after last dose.

Your Study Journey
Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 visit (in-person) for biopsy and blood sample collection
Duration - Repeated 28-day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events, or withdrawal of consent
Participants receive capmatinib orally daily in 28-day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable side effects, or withdrawal of consent. Blood samples are collected at various intervals during treatment and at the end of treatment.
Disease assessments every 2 cycles (every 8 weeks) and at end of treatment; blood sample collections at various intervals
Duration - Up to 2 years after treatment ends
After completing study treatment, participants are followed up every 3 months for 2 years to monitor health and survival.
Follow-up visits every 3 months
