1. A method of treating non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) tumors that express c-Met in a plurality of human subjects, comprising the steps of:
(a) determining or having determined whether the tumors exhibit c-Met high expression, wherein c-Met high expression is defined by ≥50% of the neoplastic cells from tumor tissue of the non-squamous NSCLC having 3+ membrane or membrane+cytoplasmic staining if assessed by the c-Met Teliso-V Staining Protocol;
(b) if the tumor tissue does not exhibit c-Met high expression, excluding the subject having the tumor that does not exhibit c-Met high expression from treatment;
(c) if the tumor tissue exhibits c-Met high expression, selecting the subject for treatment and intravenously administering 1.6 mg/kg or 1.9 mg/kg of telisotuzumab vedotin once every two weeks (Q2W) to the selected subject, wherein the non-squamous NSCLC tumor does not carry a mutated EGFR gene.
