Summary

This study tested an oral targeted drug called capmatinib in 36 Chinese adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has a specific MET gene mutation (exon 14 skipping). The drug aims to block cancer growth by targeting this faulty gene. Researchers measured how many patients had their tumors shrink or disappear, and how long that effect lasted.
