Engineering hydrophobicity and manufacturability for optimized biparatopic antibody-drug conjugates targeting c-MET. (PubMed, MAbs)
The resulting biparatopic anti-c-MET ADCs were comparably active on c-MET expressing tumor cell lines as REGN5093 exatecan DAR6 ADC. Structural molecular modeling of paratope combinations for preferential inter-target binding combined with protein engineering for manufacturability yielded deep insights into the capabilities of rational and library approaches. The methodologies of in silico hydrophobicity identification and sequence optimization could serve as a blueprint for rapid development of optimal biparatopic ADCs targeting further tumor-associated antigens in the future.

Characterization of MET Overexpression (OE) and Impact on Prognosis in a Real-world, Single-Site Cohort of Patients With Nonsquamous Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSq NSCLC) (AMP 2023)
Introduction: Telisotuzumab vedotin (Teliso-V) is a first-in-class antibodydrug conjugate that delivers a cytotoxic payload directly to tumor cells with MET protein (or c-Met) OE... MET OE was detected in 25% of samples, most of which were negative for METamp and MET mutations. A subpopulation of METamp patients did not have MET OE. NSCLC with MET OE was associated with worse prognosis compared with NSCLC with no MET OE in the context of standard-of-care treatment.

Prevalence, molecular characterization, and prognosis of MET–overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a real-world patient cohort (ESMO 2023)
Telisotuzumab vedotin (ABBV-399), a first-in-class MET (or c-Met)-directed ADC, had promising monotherapy anticancer activity in previously treated pts with MET-overexpressing (OE), non-squamous EGFR wild type NSCLC (Camidge et al...Conclusions Pts with MET OE NSCLC had worse prognosis compared with those without MET OE, when treated with standard of care including ICI. Given the development of MET-directed ADCs, MET OE (distinct from METamp) may be a future target for characterization and treatment of NSCLC.

Genomic alterations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and response to ABBV-400 treatment in patients with advanced solid tumors (ESMO 2023)
The antibody-drug conjugate ABBV-400 comprises the c-Met–targeting antibody telisotuzumab conjugated to a potent topoisomerase 1 inhibitor payload. A molecular response was observed in 48% (14/29) of all evaluated pts and 47% (8/17) of pts with CRC; median change from baseline tumor size was -22.5% and -20.3%, respectively. Table: 163P Pts with molecular response and correlation between baseline biomarker status and radiographic response Conclusions ABBV-400 showed promising preliminary efficacy, with molecular and radiographic responses in pts with advanced solid tumors with heterogeneous genomic profiles, including in pts with high TMB and KRAS mutations.

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 chemotherapy or targeted agents.

Impact of genomic alterations measured in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) on clinical response to telisotuzumab vedotin treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). (ASCO 2023)
MET amp occurred more frequently in responders; however, Teliso-V activity was not restricted to these pts, as most responders were not MET amplified. Specific genomic alterations beyond MET may influence clinical response. The current analysis demonstrated numeric differences between pts with identified drivers who did or did not respond to Teliso-V.
