Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free survival (PFS) / savolitinib + osimertinib versus platinum doublet chemotherapy in participants with EGFR mutated, MET-overexpressed and/or amplified, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on osimertinib.
Approximately 36.5 months post first subject randomized

Defined as time from randomisation until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, or death due to any cause.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) /savolitinib plus durvalumab relative to sunitinib
Approximately 28 months post first subject randomized

Defined as time from randomisation until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, or death due to any cause. The analysis will include all randomised participants as randomised, regardless of whether the participant withdraws from therapy, receives another anti-cancer therapy or clinically progresses prior to RECIST 1.1 progression.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
RECIST tumour assessments every 6 weeks from randomisation until disease progression as defined by Recist 1.1 and confirmed by BICR.

Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST v1.1) assessed by MRI or CT: Progressive Disease (PD): \>= 20% increase in the sum of diameters of TLs and an absolute increase in sum of diameters of \>=5mm (compared to the previous minimum sum) or progression of NTLs or a new lesion. PFS is the time from date of randomisation until the date of PD (defined by Recist 1.1 and confirmed by BICR) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the patient withdrew from randomised therapy or received another anti-cancer therapy prior to progression.

PFS
The analysis will occur when 60 percent PFS event is observed in each cohort, at approximately 10 months after last patient in.

PFS (Progression-Free Survival ) will be defined as the time from first dose of study intervention until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator or death due to any cause prior to progressive disease.

Frequently asked questions about Savolitinib

What is savolitinib used for?

Savolitinib is an investigational oral medicine being studied in oncology for non-small cell lung cancer, papillary renal cell carcinoma, and other solid tumors. It is being developed both as a single agent and in combination with other therapies such as osimertinib and durvalumab. It is not yet approved for commercial use.

What does savolitinib target?

Savolitinib targets MET, a receptor tyrosine kinase. It is a small-molecule inhibitor that blocks MET signaling, which is relevant in tumors where the MET pathway drives growth. Trials are biomarker-selected, meaning patients are chosen based on MET-related characteristics.

Who is developing savolitinib?

Savolitinib is being developed by AstraZeneca PLC, which trades under the ticker AZN. AstraZeneca sponsors the clinical program, including the Phase 3 trials in lung cancer and papillary renal cell carcinoma.

What phase is savolitinib in?

Savolitinib is in Phase 3 clinical development. The program includes Phase 3 trials in non-small cell lung cancer and papillary renal cell carcinoma, as well as earlier-phase studies. It remains investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is savolitinib in?

Savolitinib is being studied in several trials, including NCT05261399, a Phase 3 study of savolitinib plus osimertinib versus platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC that has progressed on osimertinib; NCT05043090, a Phase 3 trial in MET-driven papillary renal cell carcinoma; and NCT05374603, a Phase 2 study with durvalumab in EGFR wild-type NSCLC.

Is savolitinib the same as AZD6094?

Yes, savolitinib is also known as AZD6094. Other names used in study records include AZD6094 200 mg, [11C]savolitinib, and [14C] AZD6094 oral solution. These refer to the same investigational MET inhibitor developed by AstraZeneca.
