The primary Phase 1 purpose of this study is to assess overall safety and tolerability and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of APL-101.
The Phase 2 portion will assess efficacy of the dose determined in Phase 1 in individuals with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer with c-Met EXON 14 Skip Mutations and c-Met Dysregulation Advanced Solid Tumors

Solid Tumor Advanced Cancer Renal Cancer Gastric Cancer Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma NSCLC Lung Cancer Brain Tumor Glioblastoma Multiforme | Drug: APL-101 Oral Capsules | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
This is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, global, open-label, 2-part study with a Dose Escalation Segment and Dose and Disease Expansion Cohorts study of APL-101, a c-MET inhibitor, to determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and dose limiting toxicities for APL-101, and to obtain preliminary efficacy and target engagement data, in subjects with NSCLC and advanced malignancies with c-Met dysregulation.
c-MET dysregulation will be determined from historical results by molecular pre-screening evaluations to determine eligibility of enrollment for both the Dose Escalation Segment (Phase 1) and Dose and Disease Expansion Cohorts (Phase 2).
Dose escalation will occur until a protocol defined dose limited toxicity (DLT) occurs and a tentative maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.
Once dose is determined, five cohort groups will be further evaluated:
- Cohort A-1: NSCLC EXON 14 skip mutation (c-Met naïve, 1L)
- Cohort A-2: NSCLC EXON 14 skip mutation (c-Met naïve, 2/3L),
- Cohort B: NSCLC EXON 14 skip mutation (c-Met experienced; progressed on prior c-Met inhibitor),
- Cohort C: basket of tumor types (with c-Met high-level amplifications),
- Cohort D: basket of tumor types (with c-Met fusions)

Drug: APL-101 Oral Capsules
Phase 1 Subjects will be assigned to a dose level of APL-101 in the order of study entry. Treatment includes 28-day cycles at four planned dose levels (100mg, 200mg, 300mg and 400mg). Each treatment cycle is administered by daily oral capsules taken every 12 hours. Phase 2 Subjects will be given 400mg daily dose (200mg BID) of APL-101 capsules. Other Names:
