The phase 3 SAFFRON trial showed that osimertinib plus savolitinib significantly improved progression-free and overall survival compared to platinum/pemetrexed chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutated advanced non-small cell lung cancer with MET overexpression or amplification after progression on osimertinib.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You can enter the post-osimertinib NSCLC market with a therapy that now sets a new survival standard, shifting patient options beyond chemotherapy. The approval of this combo places savolitinib and osimertinib as key competitors to traditional chemo providers in MET-driven lung cancer.
