  • This summary is based on the review of one randomized controlled trial. [1]
  • Emrelis (telisotuzumab vedotin-tllv) is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with high mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met) protein overexpression [≥50% of tumor cells with strong (3+) staining], as determined by a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved test, who have received prior systemic therapy.
  • In patients with nonsquamous epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-wildtype NSCLC, the overall response rate (ORR) to telisotuzumab vedotin was 28.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 21.7 to 36.2); ORR was 34.6% (95% CI, 24.2 to 46.2) in those with high c-Met overexpression and 22.9% (95% CI, 14.4 to 33.4) in those with intermediate c-Met overexpression.
  • The median duration of response (DoR) was 8.3 months (95% CI, 5.6 to 11.3); with subgroup medians of 9.0 months (95% CI, 4.2 to 13.0) for high c-Met overexpression and 7.2 months (95% CI, 5.3 to 11.5) for intermediate c-Met overexpression. Median overall survival (OS) was 14.5 months (95% CI, 9.9 to 16.6); the high c-Met overexpression subgroup had a median OS of 14.6 months (95% CI, 9.2 to 25.6), and the intermediate subgroup had a median OS of 14.2 months (95% CI, 9.6 to 16.6).
  • In patients with nonsquamous EGFR-wildtype NSCLC and c-Met protein-overexpressing tumors, the most common adverse events were peripheral sensory neuropathy (30%), peripheral edema (16%), and fatigue (14%).
  • The most common grade ≥3 adverse event was peripheral sensory neuropathy, occurring in 7% of patients.
  • In patients with nonsquamous EGFR-wildtype NSCLC and c-Met protein-overexpressing tumors (defined as high: ≥50% tumor cells with 3+ staining; intermediate: ≥25% but <50% with 3+ staining), subgroup analysis showed higher ORR in the high overexpression group (34.6%, 95% CI: 24.2–46.2) compared to the intermediate group (22.9%, 95% CI: 14.4–33.4); median DoR was 9.0 months (95% CI: 4.2–13.0) versus 7.2 months (95% CI: 5.3–11.5), respectively.
