Insights

The MOMENT registry collects real-world data on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with MET exon 14 skipping. This data will inform clinical decisions and optimal care for this rare patient population.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Genomics
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • MET exon 14 skipping (METex14) is a rare genetic alteration in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), affecting 3-4% of cases.
  • Limited historical real-world data exists for METex14 skipping NSCLC patients treated with conventional therapies due to recent biomarker testing implementation.
  • The rarity of this patient group necessitates dedicated data collection to understand treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively collect uniform, comprehensive, high-quality real-world data from patients with METex14 skipping advanced NSCLC.
  • To support clinical and regulatory decision-making by providing robust data on patients treated in routine clinical practice.
  • To enable future studies that can inform optimal care strategies for this rare NSCLC population.

Main Methods:

  • The MOMENT registry is a multinational, non-interventional study.
  • It collects data on patients with METex14 skipping advanced NSCLC receiving any systemic anticancer therapy, including newly diagnosed and previously treated patients.
  • Data includes biomarker status, demographics, clinical characteristics, treatment details, effectiveness, safety, and imaging, with enrollment at over 60 sites in Europe and North America.

Main Results:

  • The registry is actively enrolling patients, with approximately 700 expected within 4 years.
  • The first patient was enrolled on October 4, 2022.
  • Data collected will be comprehensive and high-quality, reflecting real-world clinical practice.

Conclusions:

  • The MOMENT registry will provide crucial real-world evidence for patients with METex14 skipping advanced NSCLC.
  • This data will facilitate future research, inform regulatory decisions, and guide the development of optimal treatment strategies.
  • The findings will contribute to improving the management of this rare and specific subset of NSCLC patients.

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...
