Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the activity of tepotinib in combination with cetuximab in terms of tumor response;Secondary Objective: To further evaluate the activity of the combination of tepotinib and cetuximab in terms of: * duration of response (DoR) and disease control rate (DCR) * progression-free survival (PFS) * overall survival (OS) To evaluate the safety and tolerability of tepotinib in combination with cetuximab Impact on Quality of Life (QoL);Primary end point(s): Objective response (OR, confirmed complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) determined according to RECIST Version 1.1 assessed by the Investigators;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Complete Response (CR) defined as at least two determinations of CR at least 4 weeks apart (with no PD in between) Partial Response (PR) defined as at least two determinations of PR or better (PRfollowed by PR or PR followed by CR) at least 4 weeks apart (and not qualifying for a CR), with no PD in between Stable Disease (SD) defined as at least one SD assessment (or better)[= 6 weeks] after start date (and not qualifying for confirmed CR or PR. Non-CR/non-PD (applicable only to participants with non- measurable disease at Baseline) = at least one non-CR/non-PD assessment (or better) [= 6 weeks] afterstart date (and not qualifying for CR or PR). PD = PD = 12 weeks after start date (and not qualifying for CR, PR,
