This study will look at whether the study drug Tepotinib works to stop the re-growth of your lung cancer. The study drug will be used in combination with an approved lung cancer medication called osimertinib, which is an EGFR inhibitor. This is a Phase II study, which means that the study drug has already been tested in a small number of people in previous clinical research studies.

A Phase II single-arm study to investigate tepotinib combined with osimertinib in MET amplified, advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring activating EGFR mutations and having acquired resistance to prior 1st to 3rd generation EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. - Tepotinib plus osimertinib in EGFR TKI relapsed
