To Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetic Profile of ABN401 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors Harboring c-MET Dysregulation

This study will start with one cohort and it will be a parallel cohort expansion study.

Inclusion criteria

• Male or female ≥ 18 years of age or designated age of majority according to the regulatory authorities, whichever is higher.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS), 0 or 1.
• Have a life expectancy of at least 3 months.
• Diagnosis:

• must have histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC, advanced, recurrent, or metastatic,
• For Cohort 1: MET exon 14 skipping suspected by local or central biomarker assessment. [local testing is accepted for eligibility; all patients will have confirmation by central laboratory, but this result is not necessary for eligibility; local molecular pathology result will suffice]. This testing can be from archival or fresh tissue sample and/or blood specimen; any sample, any test positive subjects are eligible.
• For Cohort 2:

• Non-squamous histology (confirmed by histology or cytology)
• EGFR mutation-positive including exon 19 deletions or exon 21 L858R as detected by an FDA-approved or other validated test in a CLIA certified laboratory (sites in the US) or an accredited local laboratory (sites outside of the US) in accordance with site standard of care. (Note: A copy of the test report documenting the EGFR mutation must be included in the participant records and it must be reviewed by the Medical monitor.)
• Radiological documentation of disease progression while on continuous treatment with the 1st line 3rd generation EGFR-TKI
• Prior objective clinical benefit defined by either partial or complete radiological response, or durable SD (SD should last > 6 months) from the 1st line 3rd generation EGFR-TKI
• Interval between documentation of radiological progression of disease on the 1st line 3rd generation EGFR TKI and first dose of study drug should be ≤ 60 days
• MET amplification or overexpression from tumor sample collected following progression on 1st line 3rd generation EGFR-TKI • Amplification GCN ≥ 10 indicated by FISH (confirmed centrally, slides or image from local laboratory will be confirmed by the central pathologist) or NGS (confirmed either centrally or locally) • Overexpression indicated by IHC90+ (i.e. 3+ staining in ≥ 90% tumor cells by central test, if local IHC results are available, image from local laboratory will be confirmed by central pathologist. Despite the image submission, tissue unstained slides should be sent to central laboratory for confirmation of MET amplification or overexpression.)
• Treatment experience

• Cohort 1: Anti-tumor treatment naïve subject upon refusal to receive 1st line standard of care, or not tolerated to 1st line standard of care, or progressed after standard of care with no greater than 2 prior treatment regimens (neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and maintenance therapies do not qualify as separate treatment regimens).
• Cohort 2: Progressed on prior the 1st line 3rd generation EGFR-TKI for the treatment of advanced/metastatic NSCLC
• At least one measurable lesion per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) 1.1
• While on study treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment, a patient must:

• Not breast feed or be pregnant.
• Not donate gametes (ie, eggs or sperm) or freeze for future use for the purpose of assisted reproduction.
• Wear an external condom when engaging in any activity that allows for passage of ejaculate to another person.
• If of childbearing potential

i. Have a negative highly sensitive (eg, beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG]) pregnancy test at screening and within 72 hours before the first dose of study treatment, and agree to further pregnancy tests, ii. Practice at least 1 highly effective method of contraception; if oral contraceptives are used, a barrier method of contraception must also be used.

e. If a patient's partner is of childbearing potential, the participant must use a condom and partner of the participant must also be practicing a highly effective method of contraception. A vasectomized patient must still use a condom, but the partner is not required to use contraception.

• Resolution of prior-therapy-related AEs (including immune-related AEs but excluding alopecia) to ≤ Grade 1 per CTCAE v 5.0, and no treatment for these AEs for at least 2 weeks prior to the time of enrollment. Alopecia, sensory neuropathy Grade ≤ 2, or other Grade ≤ 2 AEs not constituting a safety risk based on investigator's judgment are acceptable.
• Adequate organ function as indicated by laboratory values.
• Submit tissue and blood specimens.

<!-- -->

• Cohort 1:

• All patients should submit tumor tissue/block collected from fresh biopsy or have available archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue specimen. The archival tissue must be:

• collected after progression from most recent prior systemic anti-cancer treatment, OR
• If an archival tissue collected after progression to the most recent systemic anti-cancer treatment is not available, tissue samples from previous lines of treatment are acceptable.

For fresh biopsied sample, core needle biopsy is permitted. Samples from fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is not acceptable unless the result of MET exon 14 skipping from local testing is available.

• All patients must submit blood samples.
• Cohort 2:

• All patients should submit either fresh or archival tumor slides/block collected after progression from 1st line 3rd generation EGFR TKI. The archival tissue can be permitted ONLY IF it is collected after progression from 1st line 3rd generation EGFR TKI.
• All patients should submit blood samples. 11. Able and willing to comply with the protocol and the restrictions and assessments therein.
