Dr Paik discusses the VISION trial of tepotinib in NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations and real-world data from the TOGETHER pooled analysis.

Welcome to OncLive On Air®! I’m your host today, Ashling Wahner.

OncLive On Air is a podcast from OncLive®, which provides oncology professionals with the resources and information they need to provide the best patient care. In both digital and print formats, OncLive covers every angle of oncology practice, from new technology to treatment advances to important regulatory decisions.

In today’s episode, sponsored by Real Chemistry, we had the pleasure of speaking with Paul K. Paik, MD, about the use of tepotinib (Tepmetko) in patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations. Dr Paik is the clinical director of the Thoracic Oncology Service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, New York.

In our exclusive interview, Dr Paik discussed key findings from the phase 2 VISION trial (NCT02864992) investigating frontline tepotinib in patients with NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations, real-world data from the TOGETHER pooled analysis of tepotinib vs other frontline treatment options in this patient population, and insights regarding treatment sequencing with tepotinib in pretreated patients in this population.
