Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Objective response rate (ORR = CR + PR) per IRC committee (BIRC) based on RECIST v1.1 (or relevant criteria per tumor type)
From time of informed consent signature through completion of treatment (1 cycle = 28 days) or progression

Anti-tumor activity per RECIST v1.1, RANO criteria for CNS tumors, or relevant evaluation criteria per tumor type.

Toxicity as measured by number of study treatment related adverse events (Phase I only)
Through 30 days after last dose of treatment (estimated to be 21 months)

-Toxicity is measured by CTCAE v 5.0

Toxicity as measured by number of study discontinuations due to treatment-related adverse events (Phase I only)
Through 30 days after last dose of treatment (estimated to be 21 months)

-Toxicity is measured by CTCAE v 5.0

Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase II or received MTD only)
At 1 year

* PFS is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first. Patients who neither progress nor die by the data cutoff date will be censored at the last follow up date. * Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Appearance of one or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Unequivocal progression should not normally trump target lesion status. It must be representative of overall disease status change, not a single lesion increase.

Frequently asked questions about APL-101

What is APL-101?

APL-101 is an investigational oral small molecule c-Met inhibitor being developed by Apollomics Inc. (ticker APLM). It is being studied in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and advanced solid tumors, including tumors with c-Met exon 14 skipping mutations and other c-Met dysregulation. It is not yet approved and remains in clinical development.

What is APL-101 used for in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer?

APL-101 is being studied in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer, both as a single agent in patients whose tumors have c-Met exon 14 skipping mutations or c-Met dysregulation, and in combination with frontline osimertinib in patients with EGFR-mutated metastatic NSCLC. It is investigational and has not been approved for any indication.

What does APL-101 target?

APL-101 targets c-Met, a receptor tyrosine kinase also known as the hepatocyte growth factor receptor. By inhibiting c-Met, APL-101 is designed to interfere with signaling that drives tumor growth and survival in cancers with c-Met alterations such as exon 14 skipping mutations, amplification, or fusions.

Who is developing APL-101?

APL-101 is being developed by Apollomics Inc., which trades under the ticker APLM. The company is running clinical studies of the drug in the United States and internationally, including sites across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

What phase is APL-101 in?

APL-101 is in clinical development. One Phase 1 trial, NCT04743505, evaluates APL-101 combined with frontline osimertinib in EGFR-mutated metastatic NSCLC and is active but not recruiting. A Phase 2 trial, NCT03175224, is recruiting patients with c-Met exon 14 skipping mutations and c-Met dysregulated advanced solid tumors.

What clinical trials is APL-101 in?

APL-101 is being studied in two registered trials. NCT04743505 is a Phase 1 study of APL-101 plus frontline osimertinib in EGFR-mutated metastatic NSCLC, with 27 patients enrolled in the United States. NCT03175224 is a recruiting Phase 2 study in c-Met exon 14 skipping NSCLC and c-Met dysregulated advanced solid tumors, with 497 patients across multiple countries.

Is APL-101 the same as APL-101 Oral Capsules?

Yes. APL-101 Oral Capsules is another name for APL-101, the investigational c-Met inhibitor developed by Apollomics Inc. (APLM). Both names refer to the same oral small molecule drug candidate being studied in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and advanced solid tumors.
