ARTICLE ABSTRACT

MET-targeted therapies are clinically effective in MET-amplified and MET exon 14 deletion mutant (METex14) non–small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), but their efficacy is limited by the development of drug resistance. Structurally distinct MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) (type I/II) have been developed or are under clinical evaluation, which may overcome MET-mediated drug resistance mechanisms. In this study, we assess secondary MET mutations likely to emerge in response to treatment with single-agent or combinations of type I/type II MET TKIs using TPR-MET transformed Ba/F3 cell mutagenesis assays. We found that these inhibitors gave rise to distinct secondary MET mutant profiles. However, a combination of type I/II TKI inhibitors (capmatinib and merestinib) yielded no resistant clones in vitro. The combination of capmatinib/merestinib was evaluated in vivo and led to a significant reduction in tumor outgrowth compared with either MET inhibitor alone. Our findings demonstrate in vitro and in vivo that a simultaneous treatment with a type I and type II MET TKI may be a clinically viable approach to delay and/or diminish the emergence of on target MET-mediated drug-resistance mutations.
