MET positivity also defined as

a

immunohistochemistry (IHC) ≥50% with 2+/3+

b

H-score ≥150 or IHC ≥50% with 2+/3+ or H-score ≥50 for hepatocellular carcinoma and glioblastoma

c

H-score ≥150 or IHC ≥50% with 2+/3+

d

IHC ≥50 with % 3+.

*

Available patient level data with MET gene copy numbers or MET/CEP7 ratio and response results were used to produce these results.

ǂ

Response and outcome data derived from dosing regimen #3 cohort of the study, but response rates by MET amplification status in this cohort was not available.

Only data from patients receiving a stable dose in the dose expansion cohort were used.

$

One patient with partial response had both a MET exon 14 alteration and MET copy number 2.3.

¥

Only patients from cohort 1 was used.

§

Not MET-driven defined as no MET focal amplification, no MET kinase domain mutation, no HGF amplification, and no chromosome 7 gain. CI, confidence interval; ORR, objective response rate; mPFS, median progression-free survival; mDOR, median duration of response; GCN, gene copy number; NE, not estimable; NGS, next-generation sequencing; FISH, fluorescence in-situ hybridization; IHC, immunohistochemistry; mo, month(s); HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma; GBM, glioblastoma; PRCC, papillary renal cell carcinoma
