Abstract:
Aim: MET exon 14 (METex14) skipping occurs in 3-4% of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases. Low frequency of this alteration necessitated open-label, single-arm trials to investigate MET inhibitors. Since broad MET biomarker testing was only recently introduced in many countries, there is a lack of historical real-world data from patients with METex14 skipping NSCLC receiving conventional therapies. Given the rarity of this population and limitations of existing real-world data sources, the MOMENT registry aims to prospectively collect uniform, comprehensive, high-quality data from patients with METex14 skipping advanced NSCLC treated in routine clinical practice, which can support clinical and regulatory decision making. Patients & methods: MOMENT is a multinational, non-interventional disease registry collecting data on patients with METex14 skipping advanced NSCLC receiving any systemic anticancer therapy. Newly diagnosed patients and those already receiving treatment are eligible. Patients with previous participation in a clinical trial can be included if they receive at least one subsequent therapy line in a routine clinical setting. Eligible systemic treatment includes all available anticancer therapies (approved, conditionally approved or provided through Early Access). Data collection includes biomarker testing results, demographics, baseline clinical characteristics, treatment details and effectiveness, safety information and imaging. Registry site inclusion is dependent on confirmation that local METex14 skipping detection methods are sufficient to confirm METex14 skipping status. MOMENT is currently active at more than 60 sites across Europe and North America and approximately 700 patients are expected to be enrolled within the next 4 years. The first patient was enrolled on 4 October 2022. After completion of data collection, MOMENT data can be shared with external parties to conduct non-interventional studies. Discussion/conclusion: The MOMENT registry collects comprehensive, high-quality real-world data from patients with METex14 skipping advanced NSCLC receiving systemic anticancer treatment in a routine clinical setting, to enable future studies informing regulatory decisions and optimal care for this rare population. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT05376891 (ClinicalTrials.gov); EUPAS47602 (EU PAS register no.).
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.

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...
