    First patient dosed in the Phase Ib clinical trial of Glumetinib by HaiHe Biopharma in the treatment of MET-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer

    August 27, 2019, Shanghai, China - HaiHe Biopharma, a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative anti-tumor drugs, announced that the first patient has been dosed in the Phase Ib clinical trial of the company's innovative drug, Glumetinib, for the treatment of MET-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The principal investigator of this clinical trial in China is Professor Lu Shun from Shanghai Chest Hospital. 

     

    This is a multi-country, multi-center, open-label Phase Ib clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Glumetinib in advanced NSCLC patients with c-MET mutations. It has been initiated in several sites nationwide, mainly enrolling the patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed by histology or by cytology who had failed to respond to the previous standard treatment and were intolerant to or unsuitable for chemotherapy with at least one MET mutation (skipping , amplification, or overexpression) .

    About the Lung Cancer

    Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in men and women, accounting for about one-fifth of all cancer deaths, more than the deaths caused by breast, prostate and colorectal cancer combined. Lung cancer can be divided into non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and 80%~85% of them are NSCLC. The abnormal activation of MET pathway can be divided into three cases: MET exon 14 skipping mutation, MET amplification and overexpression of MET protein. The incidence of MET exon 14 skipping mutation in NSCLC was 1-3%. The incidence of primary MET amplification in lung adenocarcinoma was about 2.4% (3 to 21%), and MET amplification resulted in 5-22% EGFR-TKI resistance. The incidence of MET protein overexpression was 22.2%-74.6%. Positive MET is associated with poor clinical prognosis, and no treatment targeting the mutation has been approved.
