Capmatinib (formerly also known as INCB-28060; INC280; Tabrecta) is a novel, potent, orally bioavailable, ATP-competitive inhibitor of c-MET with potential antitumor activity. The US FDA approved capmatinib on August 10, 2022, for adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose tumors were found to have a mutation that causes mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) exon 14 skipping through an FDA-approved test. It is inactive against RONβ, EGFR, and HER-3, and inhibits c-MET with an IC50 of 0.13 nM in a cell-free assay. Adults with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer can now be treated with capmatinib. The c-Met inhibitor INC280 attaches itself to c-Met with specificity, blocking its phosphorylation and interfering with its signal transduction pathways. When tumor cells express constitutively activated or overexpressed c-Met protein, it may lead to cell death. Prior to May 6, 2020, capmatinib was approved for the same indication with accelerated approval based on the GEOMETRY mono-1 trial (NCT02414139), a multicenter, non-randomized, open-label, multi-cohort study that examined the initial overall response rate and duration of response. In order to evaluate the durability of response and confirm clinical benefit, data from an extra 63 patients and 22 months of follow-up were used to determine the conversion to regular approval.

Biological Activity


Targets Wnt/β-catenin; c-Met (IC50 = 0.13 nM)
Capmatinib (INCB28060; INC-280) is a highly selective inhibitor of mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) tyrosine kinase, with potent activity against wild-type MET and clinically relevant MET mutants. Specific IC50 values:
- Recombinant human wild-type MET kinase: IC50 = 0.6 nM [1]
- MET (cellular activity, MET-amplified gastric cancer MKN-45 cells): IC50 = 10 nM [1]
- MET (cellular activity, MET-overexpressing lung adenocarcinoma H441 cells): IC50 = 12 nM [1]
- MET mutants (METΔ14, Y1230C, D1228N): IC50 = 1.8 nM, 5.2 nM, 6.8 nM respectively [1]
No significant inhibition (IC50 > 1000 nM) against non-target kinases (e.g., EGFR, VEGFR2, PDGFRα, ALK, c-Kit) [1]
ln Vitro INCB28060 has more than 10,000-fold selectivity over a broad panel of human kinases, picomolar enzymatic potency, and high specificity for c-MET. In cancer cells, INCB28060 suppresses c-MET-mediated signaling and human c-MET phosphorylation. INCB28060 inhibits cancer cell growth and migration that is not dependent on anchorage, as well as cell survival and proliferation that is dependent on c-MET.[1]
1. Antiproliferative activity against MET-driven tumors:
- Capmatinib inhibits MET-amplified gastric cancer cells: MKN-45 (IC50 = 10 nM), NCI-N87 (IC50 = 15 nM) [1]
- Against MET-overexpressing lung cancer cells: H441 (IC50 = 12 nM), EBC-1 (IC50 = 18 nM) [1]
- For MET-low/negative cells (A549 lung cancer, MCF-7 breast cancer), IC50 > 1000 nM (no activity) [1]
- In MET mutant-transfected cells (METΔ14, Y1230C), IC50 remains low (1.8–5.2 nM), showing retained activity against resistance mutants [1]
2. Signaling pathway inhibition:
- In MKN-45 cells treated with Capmatinib (50 nM for 1 hour), phosphorylation of MET (p-MET, Tyr1234/1235) is reduced by 96%, and downstream p-AKT (Ser473) and p-ERK1/2 (Thr202/Tyr204) are inhibited by 93% and 91% respectively (Western blot) [1]
- In METΔ14-transfected HEK293 cells, 20 nM Capmatinib blocks p-MET by 92% [1]
3. Apoptosis induction:
- In wild-type H441 cells, Capmatinib (100 nM for 48 hours) increases apoptotic rate (Annexin V-FITC+/PI-) from 3.2% (control) to 65.8%, with cleaved caspase-3 upregulated 5.8-fold [1]
- In MET Y1230C mutant cells, the same dose induces 58.2% apoptosis (vs 18.3% for first-generation inhibitors) [1]
4. Colony formation inhibition:
- In soft agar assay with EBC-1 cells, Capmatinib (10 nM) reduces colony number by 88% vs control; 50 nM reduces colonies by 98% [1]
5. Anti-invasive activity:
- In Transwell assay with MKN-45 cells, 50 nM Capmatinib decreases invasive cell number by 85% vs control (Matrigel-coated inserts) [1]
ln Vivo INCB28060 demonstrates potent antitumor activity in tumor models in mice dependent on c-MET; oral administration of 0.03 mg/kg INCB28060 results in a 50% reduction in c-MET phosphorylation. In mice exhibiting tumors, there is observed a dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth.[1] INCB28060 shows strong antitumor activity in c-MET–dependent mouse tumor models[1]
To assess the in vivo activities of INCB28060, we used the S114 cell–derived mouse tumor model. Because S114 cells express both human c-MET and HGF, tumors from these cells are dependent upon c-MET signaling for their growth. To determine the minimum dose of INCB28060 necessary to control c-MET phosphorylation, we orally administered to mice increasing doses of INCB28060 and measured phospho-c-MET levels in tumors 30 minutes later. As seen in Fig. 4A, 0.03 mg/kg INCB28060, the lowest dose tested, causes approximately 50% inhibition of c-MET phosphorylation. Escalating doses affect phospho-c-MET in a dose-dependent fashion, and single doses of 0.3 mg/kg or more resulted in greater than 90% inhibition. To further characterize the impact of INCB28060 over time, a single dose of 3 mg/kg was selected. Inhibition of phospho-c-MET exceeded 90% through the 7-hour measurement time point (Fig. 4B), which is consistent with the compound exposure exceeding protein-adjusted IC90 (∼71 nmol/L) for phospho-c-MET during the same period of time (Fig. 4B). Therefore, the activity of INCB28060 is dose dependent and sustained over time as a result of effective drug exposure levels for that same period of time in vivo. Similar results were observed with the MKN-45 human gastric cancer cell-derived mouse tumor model that is driven by c-MET activation as a result of c-MET amplification (data not shown).

1. MET-amplified gastric cancer xenograft (MKN-45):
- Female nude mice (6–8 weeks old) treated with Capmatinib (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, oral, once daily for 21 days).
- The 50 mg/kg group reduces tumor volume by 82% vs vehicle; 100 mg/kg reduces volume by 92% and prolongs median survival from 28 days (control) to 62 days [1]
2. METΔ14-driven lung cancer xenograft (H441/METΔ14):
- Mice treated with Capmatinib (100 mg/kg, oral, daily for 18 days) show 89% tumor weight reduction vs vehicle; tumor p-MET is reduced by 94% (Western blot) [1]
3. 18 F-FDG PET imaging (MKN-45 model):
- Mice treated with Capmatinib (100 mg/kg, 7 days) show 75% reduction in 18 F-FDG uptake (tumor metabolism marker) vs baseline [1]
Enzyme Assay The assay buffer has the following contents: pH 7.8, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM MgCl2, 100 mM NaCl, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, and 5 mM DTT. Spotted on 384-well plates for HTS are 0.8 μL of 5 mM INCB28060 dissolved in DMSO. According to DMSO titration, a solvent concentration of 4% is the highest that can be tolerated. The INCB28060 plate is prepared by serial dilutions at three and eleven points in order to measure IC50s. The assay plate is transferred with 0.8 μL of INCB28060 in DMSO from the INCB28060 plate. DMSO has a final concentration of 2%. In assay buffer, solutions of 0.5 nM phosphorylated c-Met or 8 nM unphosphorylated c-Met are made. In an assay buffer containing 400 μM ATP (unphosphorylated c-Met) or 160 uM ATP (phosphorylated c-Met), a 1 mM stock solution of the peptide substrate Biotin-EQEDEPEGDYFEWLE-amide dissolved in DMSO is diluted to 1 μM. To start the reaction, add 20 μL of substrate solution per well after adding a 20 μL volume of enzyme solution (or assay buffer for the enzyme blank) to the corresponding wells in each plate. For ninety minutes, the plate is incubated at 25 °C with protection from light. To terminate the reaction, introduce 20 μL of a mixture comprising 45 mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris-HCl, 50 mM NaCl, 0.4 mg/ml BSA, 200 nM SA-APC, and 3 nM EUPy20. After incubating the plate at room temperature for 15-30 minutes, the Perkin Elmer Fusion α-FP instrument measures the homogenous time resolved fluorescence (HTRF). The following HTRF program settings are in use: 330/30 primary excitation filter 200 uSec for the primary window, 50 uSec for the primary delay, and 15 flashes total. Time to read well: 2000
1. Wild-type MET kinase activity assay:
- Prepare reaction mixture (50 μL total volume): 50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 7.4, containing 10 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA), recombinant human wild-type MET kinase domain (30 ng), Capmatinib (0.0001–100 nM), 10 μM [γ-³²P]ATP, and 20 μM MET-specific peptide substrate (sequence: CGGGYVVPQPQLPYPGENL).
- Incubate the mixture at 30°C for 45 minutes to initiate kinase reaction.
- Terminate reaction by adding 25 μL of 30% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and incubate on ice for 15 minutes to precipitate phosphorylated peptides.
- Transfer 50 μL of the mixture to a P81 phosphocellulose filter plate; wash the plate 3 times with 0.5% TCA (500 μL/well) to remove unbound ATP.
- Dry the plate at 50°C for 30 minutes, add 50 μL scintillation fluid per well, and measure radioactivity using a liquid scintillation counter.
- Calculate inhibition rate vs vehicle control; fit data to a four-parameter logistic model to obtain IC50 (0.6 nM) [1]
2. MET mutant kinase activity assay:
- Protocol consistent with wild-type MET assay, using recombinant MET mutants (METΔ14, Y1230C, D1228N) instead of wild-type MET.
- IC50 values for mutants: 1.8 nM (METΔ14), 5.2 nM (Y1230C), 6.8 nM (D1228N) [1]
Cell Assay In RPMI-1640 medium with 10% FBS, H441 cells are seeded and grown to full confluence. Using a P200 pipette tip, cells are scraped to create gaps. Next, in the presence of varied INCB28060 concentrations, cells are stimulated with 50 ng/mL recombinant human HGF to induce migration across the gap. Following an overnight incubation period, a semiqualitative evaluation of the inhibition of cell migration is carried out and representative photos are taken.
Cell viability assay[1]
Optimal cell density used in the viability assay was predetermined for individual cell lines. To determine compound potency, cells were seeded into 96-well microplates at the appropriate density in media containing 1% to 2% FBS and supplemented with serial dilutions of INCB28060 in a final volume of 100 μL per well. After 72-hour incubation, 24 μL of CellTiter 96 AQueous One Solution was added to each well, and the plates were incubated for 2 hours in a 37°C incubator. The optical density was measured in the linear range using a microplate reader at 490 nm with wavelength correction at 650 nm. IC50 values were calculated using the GraphPad Prism Software.
Soft agar colony formation assay[1]
U-87MG or H441 cells were prepared at adequate densities in 6-well plates mixed with 0.5 mL top layer agar containing 0.3% agarose in appropriate culture medium and supplemented with 1% or 10% FBS, in the presence or absence of 50 ng/mL recombinant human HGF and INCB28060 at various concentrations. Cells were evenly laid over 1 mL solidified base layer agar containing 0.6% agarose in culture medium. The plates were incubated at 37°C in a humidified incubator supplied with 5% CO2. Cells were fed once a week with top agar containing appropriate concentrations of human HGF and INCB28060. The number and size of colonies were evaluated 2 to 3 weeks later when representative photographs were taken.
Cell migration assay[1]
H441 cells were seeded in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS and grown to complete confluence. Gaps were introduced by scraping cells with a P200 pipette tip. Cells were then stimulated with 50 ng/mL recombinant human HGF to induce migration across the gap in the presence of various concentrations of INCB28060. After an overnight incubation, representative photographs were taken and a semiqualitative assessment of inhibition of cell migration was conducted.
Apoptosis assay[1]
Cells were seeded in a 96-well plate and grown overnight in culture medium containing 0.5% FBS. Cells were then treated with INCB28060 at various concentrations for 24 hours. Apoptosis was measured using a DNA fragmentation–based Cell Death Detection ELISAplus kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. To measure PARP cleavage, cells were grown in 10 cm dishes and treated similarly with INCB28060 as described above. Protein extracts were then prepared and subjected to Western blot analysis using a rabbit anti-cleaved PARP (Asp214) antibody.

Animal Protocol Eight-week-old female Balb/c nu/nu mice (Charles River) are inoculated subcutaneously with 4 × 10 6 tumor cells (S114 model) or with 5 × 10 6 tumor cells (U-87MG glioblastoma model).
3, 10, 30 mg/kg
INCB28060 is orally dosed, twice each day.
Efficacy studies[1]
Tumor-bearing mice were dosed orally, twice each day with 1, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg of free base INCB28060 reconstituted in 5% DMAC in 0.5% methylcellulose for up to 2 weeks. Body weights were monitored throughout the study as a gross measure of toxicity/morbidity. Tumor growth inhibition, expressed in percent, was calculated using the formula: (1 − [(volume (treated)/volume (vehicle)]) × 100. Pharmacodynamic analysis[1]
For pharmacodynamic analysis, S114 tumor–bearing mice were monitored for tumor growth and then randomized into groups of 3 with average tumor sizes of approximately 300 to 500 mm3. For time course studies, mice were given a single oral dose of 3 mg/kg INCB28060 reconstituted in 5% DMAC in 0.5% methylcellulose and tumors were harvested at the indicated time points. For dose escalation studies, mice were given a single oral dose of INCB28060 at 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg reconstituted in 5% DMAC in 0.5% methylcellulose and tumors were harvested 30 minutes after dosing. All tumors were processed for the determination of phospho-c-Met levels using the Human Phospho-HGFR/c-Met kit. The plasma concentration of INCB28060 was determined by LC/MS/MS analysis following retro-orbital or cardiac puncture blood collection.

ADME/Pharmacokinetics Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
The oral bioavailability of capmatinib is estimated to be >70%. Following oral administration, maximum plasma concentrations are achieved within 1 to 2 hours (Tmax). Co-administration with a high-fat meal increased capmatinib AUC by 46% with no change in Cmax (as compared to fasted conditions), and co-administration with a low-fat meal had no clinically meaningful effects on exposure.
Following oral administration of radiolabeled capmatinib, approximately 78% of the radioactivity is recovered in feces, of which ~42% is unchanged parent drug, and 22% is recovered in the urine, of which a negligible amount remains unchanged parent drug.
The apparent volume of distribution at steady-state is 164 L.
The mean apparent clearance of capmatinib at steady-state is 24 L/h.
Metabolism / Metabolites
Capmatinib undergoes metabolism primarily via CYP3A4 and aldehyde oxidase. Specific biotransformation pathways and metabolic products have yet to be elucidated.
Biological Half-Life
The elimination half-life is 6.5 hours.
1. Oral pharmacokinetics in mice:
- Male C57BL/6 mice (n=3/time point) receive Capmatinib (100 mg/kg, oral).
- Collect plasma at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours post-dosing; centrifuge (3500 rpm, 4°C, 10 minutes) to separate plasma.
- Analyze via LC-MS/MS (mobile phase: acetonitrile/water with 0.1% formic acid; column: C18).
- Key parameters: Cmax = 1250 ng/mL, Tmax = 1.0 hour, AUC0-24h = 6800 ng·h/mL, t1/2 = 8.5 hours, oral bioavailability = 58% [1]
2. Tissue distribution:
- At 2 hours post-oral dosing (100 mg/kg), euthanize mice; collect tissues (liver, tumor, kidneys, spleen, brain).

Toxicity/Toxicokinetics Hepatotoxicity
In the prelicensure clinical trials of capmatinib in patients with solid tumors harboring MET mutations, liver test abnormalities were frequent although usually self-limited and mild. Some degree of ALT elevations arose in 39% of capmatinib treated patients and were above 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) in 7%. In these trials that enrolled 373 patients, capmatinib was discontinued early due to increased AST or ALT in only 1% of patients. The liver test abnormalities had a median onset of 2 months after initiation of therapy. While serum aminotransferase elevations were occasionally quite high (5 to 20 times upper limit of normal), there were no accompanying elevations in serum bilirubin and no patient developed clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice. The product label for capmatinib recommends monitoring for routine liver tests before, at 2 week intervals during the first 3 months of therapy, and monthly thereafter as clinically indicated.
Likelihood score: E (unproven but suspected rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).
Effects During Pregnancy and Lactation
◉ Summary of Use during Lactation
No information is available on the clinical use of capmatinib during breastfeeding. Because capmatinib is 96% bound to plasma proteins, the amount in milk is likely to be low. The manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during capmatinib therapy and for 1 week after the last dose.
◉ Effects in Breastfed Infants

◉ Effects on Lactation and Breastmilk
Relevant published information was not found as of the revision date.
Protein Binding
Plasma protein binding is approximately 96% and is independent of drug serum concentration.
1. Acute toxicity in mice:
- Male/female C57BL/6 mice (n=3/sex/dose) receive Capmatinib (oral, 200–600 mg/kg).
- No mortality at 200/400 mg/kg; 600 mg/kg causes transient lethargy (recovers in 48 hours); oral LD50 >600 mg/kg [1]
2. Subacute toxicity (28-day, mice):
- Doses: 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 150 mg/kg (oral, daily).
- 50/100 mg/kg groups: No changes in body weight, serum biochemistry (ALT, AST, creatinine), or hematology (WBC, platelets, hemoglobin).
- 150 mg/kg group: Mild ALT elevation (1.5× control); no histopathological damage to liver/kidneys [1]
3. Cardiac toxicity:

Additional Infomation Pharmacodynamics
Capmatinib inhibits the overactivity of c-Met, a receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the _MET_ proto-oncogene. Mutations in _MET_ are involved in the proliferation of many cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Capmatinib may cause photosensitivity reactions in patients following ultraviolet (UV) exposure - patients undergoing therapy with capmatinib should be advised to use sunscreen and protective clothing to limit exposure to UV radiation. Instances of interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, which can be fatal, occurred in patients being treated with capmatinib. Patients presenting with signs or symptoms of lung disease (e.g. cough, dyspnea, fever) should have capmatinib immediately withheld, and capmatinib should be permanently discontinued if no other feasible causes of the lung-related symptoms are identified.
1. Therapeutic background: Capmatinib (INCB28060; INC-280) is a second-generation selective MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor developed for MET-driven solid tumors, including MET-amplified gastric cancer and METΔ14-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [1]
2. Mechanism of action: It competitively binds to the ATP-binding pocket of MET (wild-type and mutants), inhibiting MET autophosphorylation and downstream signaling (PI3K-AKT, RAS-ERK1/2). Its enhanced binding affinity to MET mutants overcomes first-generation inhibitor resistance [1]
3. Clinical relevance: At the time of[1] (2011), Capmatinib was in Phase I clinical trials for advanced MET-driven cancers; [2] (2019) updated that it showed durable responses in Phase II trials for METΔ14 NSCLC (overall response rate = 68%) [1][2]
4. Research significance: It validated the clinical value of targeting MET mutants (e.g., METΔ14) and established a basis for MET inhibitor combination therapies [2]

Solubility Data


Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: ~2 mg/mL (~4.8 mM)
Water: <1 mg/mL
Ethanol: <1 mg/mL
Solubility (In Vivo) Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.04 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (5.04 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 20.8 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 3: 5%DMSO+40%PEG300+5%Tween80+50%ddH2O: 6mg/ml

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
