Pierre Fabre announce 1st Patient Dosed in Phase I/II of PFL-002/VERT-002, a targeted therapy in NSCLC with MET Alterations
Pierre Fabre Laboratories Announce First Patient Dosed in Phase I/II Clinical Trial of PFL-002/VERT-002, an Innovative Targeted Therapy Intended to Treat Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with MET Alterations
PFL-002/VERT-002 is a monoclonal antibody with a novel and differentiated mechanism of action, acting as a degrader of c-MET, with the potential to be a best-in-class treatment for cancer driven by MET alterations
CASTRES, France, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pierre Fabre Laboratories announced today that the first patient has been dosed with PFL-002/VERT-002, a monoclonal antibody acting as a degrader of c-MET, in a phase I/II first-in-human dose-escalation, dose-optimization and dose-expansion trial, for patients with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) harbouring MET alterations.
The PFL-002/VERT-002 phase I/II trial is an open label, multi-centre study that aims to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary clinical efficacy of PFL-002/VERT-002, as a monotherapy for patients with MET-dependent tumors, including those emerging with acquired resistance to other treatments.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent form of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 85% of newly diagnosed lung cancer cases, and MET, also known as hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR), is an oncogene driver in subsets of patients suffering from NSCLC.1-4 MET exon 14 skipping mutation and MET amplification are found as primary oncogenic drivers and MET amplification as a resistance mechanism to selected targeted therapies.
“PFL-002/VERT-002 targets a clinically validated oncogenic driver with a unique and differentiated mechanism of action, triggering the degradation of the c-MET oncogene. Thus, it provides the opportunity to test a novel therapeutic approach for patients with MET driven tumors. We are looking forward to collaborating with the investigators participating in the first-in-human trial to assess the safety and efficacy of this new agent.” said Francesco Hofmann, Head of Research and Development for Medical Care at Pierre Fabre Laboratories.
