HUTCHMED (China) Limited (“HUTCHMED”) (Nasdaq/AIM:HCM; HKEX:13) today announces that the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for the combination of ORPATHYS® (savolitinib) and TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”) mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) with MET amplification after disease progression on first-line EGFR inhibitor therapy has been accepted and granted priority review by the China National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”). ORPATHYS® is an oral, potent and highly selective MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor (“TKI”). TAGRISSO® is a third-generation, irreversible EGFR TKI. This acceptance also triggers a milestone payment from AstraZeneca.
The NDA is supported by data from SACHI, a multi-center, open-label, randomized, controlled, Phase III trial which evaluated the efficacy and safety of a combination of ORPATHYS® and TAGRISSO® compared to platinum-based doublet-chemotherapy (pemetrexed plus cisplatin or carboplatin), the standard-of-care treatment option in this setting. The primary endpoint of the study was progression free survival (“PFS”) as assessed by investigators. Other endpoints include PFS assessed by an independent review committee, overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), disease control rate (DCR), time to response (TTR), and safety. The Independent Data Monitoring Committee (“IDMC”) of SACHI has considered that the study has met the pre-defined primary endpoint of PFS in a planned interim analysis and as a result, enrollment into the study has concluded. Results from SACHI will be submitted for presentation at an upcoming scientific conference (clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT05015608).
