The MET pathway can be activated by MET exon 14 skipping mutations, gene amplification, or overexpression. Mutations within this pathway carry a poor prognosis for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Early studies of MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) demonstrated limited clinical benefit; however, newer selective MET TKIs, such as capmatinib and tepotinib, have improved efficacy and acceptable safety profiles. In this activity, our experts assess the role of the role of MET gene aberrations in NSCLC and optimal testing modalities, as well as the clinical evidence supporting the use of MET TKIs and the potential role of these therapies in other subsets of disease.
