Anti-MET Antibody Therapies in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Current Progress and Future Directions. (PubMed, Antibodies (Basel)) - " Amivantamab, a bispecific EGFR/MET antibody was approved to treat EGFR exon 20 insertion and now has recently been extended to target classical EGFR mutations with progression on osimertinib. Other important anti-MET targeted therapies in development include antibody drug conjugates such as telisotuzumab vedotin, REGN5093-M114, and AZD9592 and emibetuzumab, which is a humanized immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal bivalent MET antibody...Future research should focus on developing novel MET antibody drugs and exploring new therapeutic combinations to enhance treatment efficacy and overcome resistance in NSCLC. Refining biomarker-driven approaches to ensure precise patient selection is also critical to optimizing treatment outcomes."

A promising MET-EGFR bispecific nanobody-drug conjugate therapy for multiple solid tumours (ESMO 2024) - "KY-0301 was engineered with lower EGFR affinity (161-fold) and EGFR arm truncation, with the aim of reducing EGFR-driven toxicity in normal tissues. KY-0301 showed higher internalization rates than AZD9592 in HCT116 and NCI-H1975. Preclinical data has demonstrated promising efficacy and safety of KY-0301 in tumors expressing MET and EGFR, including but not limited to NSCLC, colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer and kidney cancer."

VBC101-F11: An innovative EGFR/cMet bispecific antibody drug conjugate (ADC) targeting key oncogenic drivers in solid tumors (AACR 2024) - "This innovative design distinguishes VBC101-F11 from other EGFR/cMet-targeting agents on the market or in clinical trials (ABBV399 or AZD9592), optimizing both efficacy and safety.1. Further payload exploration, such as DNA replication inhibitor, has also yielded promising results, with VBC101-F11-new payload showing comparable efficacy to the same class ADC AZD9592 in models with low EGFR and high cMet expression (100% TGI) and in those with moderate EGFR/cMet expression (~ 60% TGI).In summary, VBC101-F11, with unique design and distinguished attributes, has demonstrated its remarkable potential in the landscape of anti-EGFR/cMet therapies. The encouraging efficacy observed in preclinical models supports the molecule's advancement into clinical development, positioning it as a best-in-class bispecific ADC for treating tumors in patients."

In Vivo Efficacy of AZD9592, an EGFR-cMET Bispecific ADC, in a Broad Panel of NSCLC Patient-Derived Xenograft Models (IASLC-WCLC 2023) - "Comparable efficacy was observed across EGFR mutant (EGFRm) models previously treated with single or multiple lines of first- (gefitinib, erlotinib), second- (afatinib), and/or third-generation (osimertinib) EGFR TKIs. Additionally, TR was observed in 3/3 (100%) of models previously treated with an EGFR TKI in combination with the cMET TKI savolitinib; high cMET expression by IHC was seen in >90% of the cells in these three models. Notably, 4/5 (80%) of models with prior exposure to the ALK TKI crizotinib demonstrated TR... In vivo efficacy of AZD9592 was demonstrated in PDX models across a broad spectrum of NSCLC molecular profiles. These included EGFRwt and EGFRm tumours harbouring varied EGFR mutations; groups with and without prior chemotherapy; and groups with and without prior treatment with ALK, EGFR, and/or cMET TKI. These observations suggest that AZD9592 may provide clinical benefit in areas of unmet need, including in patients previously treated with..."
