GlobalData tracks drug-specific phase transition and likelihood of approval scores, in addition to indication benchmarks based off 18 years of historical drug development data. Attributes of the drug, company and its clinical trials play a fundamental role in drug-specific PTSR and likelihood of approval.

Tepotinib hydrochloride overview

Tepotinib hydrochloride (Tepmetko) is anti neoplastic agent. It is formulated as film coated tablets for oral route of administration. Tepmetko is indicated for the treatment of patients with unresectable, advanced or recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping alterations. Tepmetko is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) exon 14 skipping alterations. Tepmetko as monotherapy is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbouring alterations leading to mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor gene exon 14 (METex14) skipping, who require systemic therapy following prior treatment with immunotherapy and/or platinum-based chemotherapy.

Tepotinib hydrochloride (Tepmetko, MSC-2156119J) is under development for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer and gastroesophageal junction carcinomas (AGC/GEJCs), colorectal cancer, recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), gliosarcoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, breast cancer, renal cell cancer, gastric cancer, head and neck cancer, other solid tumors, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. The drug candidate is administered orally in the form of film coated tablet and capsule. The drug candidate acts by down-regulating the expression of c-Met. It was also under development for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
