- Phase Ib: Frequency of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) [ Time Frame: Up to 215 weeks ]A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value assessed as unrelated to disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that met certain criteria as defined in the protocol.
- Phase II : Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Until disease progression, up to 60.8 weeks ]
Overall response rate is defined as the proportion of patients with best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as per RECIST 1.1 (Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR).
Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.
- Phase Ib and II: Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 421 weeks ]Adverse events were assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0
- Phase Ib and II: Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 421 weeks ]Serious adverse events were assessed according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0
- Phase Ib and II: Number of Patients With Dose Reductions of INC280 by Dose Level [ Time Frame: Up to 417 weeks ]Number of patients with dose reductions of INC280 by dose level as a measure of tolerability.
- Phase Ib and II: Number of Patients With Dose Interruptions of Gefitinib by Dose Level [ Time Frame: Up to 417 weeks ]Number of patients with dose interruptions of gefitinib by dose level as a measure of tolerability
- Phase II: Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From date of treatment until death due to any cause, up to 70.2 months ]Overall survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment date to the date of death, due to any cause
- Phase II: Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 60.8 months ]Progression-free survivalis the time from date of randomization/start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause.
- Phase II: Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Up to 23.2 months ]Duration of overall response (DOR) is defined as the time between the date of first documented response (CR or PR) and the date of first documented disease progression or death due to underlying cancer.
- Phase I: PK Parameters AUCtau of INC280 and Gefitinib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 day 15 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose) (Cycle=28 days) ]
PK parameters were estimated from each individual plasma concentration-time profile using non-compartmental analysis.
Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero to the end of dosing interval at steady state (tau), where tau=24 hours for once daily dosing and tau=12 hours for twice daily dosing
- Phase I: PK Parameters Cmax of INC280 and Gefitinib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 day 15 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose) (Cycle=28 days) ]
PK parameters were estimated from each individual plasma concentration-time profile using non-compartmental analysis.
Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration of INC280 and gefitinib
- Phase I: PK Parameters Tmax of INC280 and Gefitinib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 day 15 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose) (Cycle=28 days) ]
PK parameters were estimated from each individual plasma concentration-time profile using non-compartmental analysis.
Tmax is the time to reach maximum plasma concentration of INC280 and gefitinib
- Phase I: PK Parameters Apparent Systemic Plasma Clearance Rate of INC280 and Gefitinib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 day 15 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose) (Cycle=28 days) ]
PK parameters were estimated from each individual plasma concentration-time profile using non-compartmental analysis.
Apparent systemic plasma clearance rate of INC280 and gefitinib
- Phase I: PK Parameters Half-life of INC280 and Gefitinib [ Time Frame: Cycle 1 day 15 (pre-dose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours post dose)(Cycle=28 days) ]
PK parameters were estimated from each individual plasma concentration-time profile using non-compartmental analysis.
The elimination half-life of INC280 and gefitinib associated with the terminal slope (Lamda_z) of a semi-logarithmic plasma concentration-time curve
- Phase I: Percentage of Change From Baseline in C-MET H Score at Cycle 1 Day 15 [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 15 of cycle 1 (Cycle=28days) ]Inhibition of c-MET signaling by pre- and post- treatment immunohistochemistry of p-c-MET
