Frequently asked questions about Savolitinib

What is savolitinib used for?

Savolitinib is an investigational oral medicine being studied in gastric cancer and non-small cell lung cancer, including metastatic NSCLC. It is also being tested in combination with osimertinib in EGFR-mutant, MET-positive advanced NSCLC. It is not yet approved for commercial use and remains in clinical development.

What does savolitinib target?

Savolitinib targets MET, a receptor tyrosine kinase. As a small-molecule MET inhibitor, it blocks MET signaling, which is relevant in tumors with MET amplification or dysregulation. This targeted approach is being explored in biomarker-selected patient populations, particularly in NSCLC and gastric cancer.

Who is developing savolitinib?

Savolitinib is being developed by HUTCHMED (China) Limited, which trades under the ticker HCM. The company is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating savolitinib in oncology indications, including combinations with osimertinib.

What phase is savolitinib in?

Savolitinib is in Phase 2 development overall, though several trials have been conducted at Phase 3. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The program has received FDA designations including Breakthrough Therapy, Fast Track, and Priority Review for certain indications.

What clinical trials is savolitinib in?

Savolitinib has been studied in trials including NCT05015608, NCT05009836, NCT04923945, and NCT04923932. These trials evaluated savolitinib alone or with osimertinib in non-small cell lung cancer and gastric cancer, primarily in China. One trial is active but not recruiting, while others are completed.
