![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Capmatinib was advanced to clinical trial for various types of cancer either alone or in combination with other antineoplastics. Targeted indications include recurrent gliobastoma, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, advanced non-small cell lung cancer, papillary renal cell cancer and advanced BRAF melanoma. For example capmatinib + nivolumab (an approved anti-PD-1 mAb) is being evaluated in study NCT02323126 (Phase 2 for previously treated NSCLC). NCT02795429 (Phase 1/2 in advanced HCC) is evaluating capmatinib + spartalizumab (PDR001, an investigational anti-PD-1 mAb).

Full authorisaton, delivered through the FDA's accelerated approval process, was granted in May 2020, with capmatinib indicated for metastatic NSCLC with a mutation that leads to mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) exon 14 skipping. The FoundationOne CDx assay was approved at the same time as a companion diagnostic that must be used to confirm the presence of mutation. EMA authorisation as a NSCLC treatment followed in 2022. |
