7505 Background: Met is associated with a poor outcome in many cancers, including NSCLC. Met activation is a mechanism of resistance to EGFR inhibition, supporting dual inhibition of Met/EGFR. MetMAb is a monovalent monoclonal antibody that specifically binds the Met receptor. Methods: OAM4558g is a global randomized, double-blind phase II study comparing MetMAb plus erlotinib (ME) to placebo plus erlotinib (PE) in 2nd/3rd line NSCLC. Tissue collection was mandatory to assess c-Met IHC expression levels (Met Dx). Co-primary endpoints were PFS in the Met Dx+ and ITT populations. Safety and OS were additional endpoints. Following the initial unblinding, Met Dx- patients (pts) were removed from ME. Results: 128 NSCLC pts were equally randomized to receive ME or PE. 95% of tissue was evaluable for c-Met IHC, 88% for EGFR and KRAS mutations (mut), and 75% for MET FISH. Baseline characteristics were well balanced. 54% of pts had Met Dx+ NSCLC, which was associated with a worse outcome (OS HR 2.52, PE cohort). A...
