Abstract
The hepatocyte growth factor receptor mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) is reported to be a negative prognostic marker in EGFR-mutant NSCLC and involved in resistance to EGFR inhibitors. Emibetuzumab, a humanized immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal bivalent MET antibody, blocks ligand-dependent and ligand-independent hepatocyte growth factor/MET signaling. This phase 2 study compared erlotinib with and without emibetuzumab in first-line treatment of EGFR-mutant metastatic NSCLC.
