About this trial
Cancer is a condition where cells in a specific part of body grow and reproduce uncontrollably. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a solid tumor, a disease in which cancer cells form in the tissues of the lung. The purpose of this study is to determine if telisotuzumab vedotin works better than docetaxel and to assess how safe telisotuzumab vedotin is in adult participants with NSCLC who have previously been treated. Change in disease activity and adverse events will be assessed.
Telisotuzumab vedotin is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of NSCLC. Participants will be randomly assigned a treatment of telisotuzumab vedotin or docetaxel at an 1:1 ratio. Each group receives intravenous (IV) infusion of telisotuzumab vedotin or IV infusion of docetaxel. Approximately 768 adult participants with c-Met overexpressing NSCLC will be enrolled in the study in approximately 330 sites worldwide.
Participants will receive IV telisotuzumab vedotin every 2 weeks or docetaxel every 3 weeks until meeting study drug discontinuation criteria. At the conclusion of the study, participants who continue to demonstrate clinical benefit may be eligible to receive study treatment via an extension of the study, a rollover study, or through another mechanism.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Projected life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
Participants must have c-Met overexpressing non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as assessed by an AbbVie designated immunohistochemistry (IHC) laboratory using the VENTANA MET (SP44) RxDx assay.
Archival or fresh tumor material must be submitted for assessment of c-Met protein expression levels during the Pre-Screening period. Tumor material from the primary tumor site and/or metastatic sites are allowed.
If a participant was prescreened for Study M14-239 but did not enroll, tumor material previously submitted for Study M14-239 may be used for Study M18-868 Pre-Screening upon confirmation from AbbVie that sufficient evaluable tumor material is available (Except China).
Disqualifiers
Evidence of new, untreated CNS metastases or progressing CNS metastases after treatment.
Evidence of leptomeningeal disease.
Participants with adenosquamous or neuroendocrine histology, nor sarcomatoid features.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activating mutations.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of radiographic progression based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (v1.1) per BICR or death from any cause.
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from randomization to the event of death from any cause.
Secondary outcomes
Objective Response Rate (ORR), per BICR.
ORR is defined as the proportion of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST v1.1
Duration of Response (DoR), per BICR
DoR is defined for responders as the time from response (CR or PR) to the first occurrence of radiographic progression per RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause.
PFS per Investigator Assessment
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of radiographic progression based on RECIST version 1.1 per investigator or death from any cause. Participants with no PFS event will be censored at the last evaluable radiographic assessment per investigator. Participants with no event and no evaluable post-baseline assessment will be censored at randomization.
Change from Baseline of Physical Functioning as measured by the Physical Functioning domain of the EORTC-QLQ-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30).
The EORTC QLQ-C30 assesses health-related quality of life in cancer patients participating in clinical trials. The EORTC QLQ-C30 comprises 5 functional scales (physical, role, emotional, social, cognitive), 8 single-item symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, insomnia, and dyspnea), as well as subscales assessing global health/quality of life and financial impact. Raw scores are transformed to a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores representing better functioning/quality of life and greater symptom burden.
