Surufatinib

HONG KONG and SHANGHAI and FLORHAM PARK, N.J., May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUTCHMED (China) Limited (“ HUTCHMED ”) (Nasdaq/AIM:​HCM; HKEX:​13) today announces that new data from several studies of compounds discovered by HUTCHMED including savolitinib, ranosidenib, fruquintinib and surufatinib, will be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (“ASCO”) Annual Meeting taking place on May 30 – June 3, 2025 in Chicago, USA. Results from the SACHI China Phase III study of savolitinib in combination with osimertinib in 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 EGFR inhibitor therapy will be presented at a late breaking oral presentation. SACHI had met the pre-defined primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) in a planned interim analysis. SACHI data supports the New Drug Application (NDA) for this oral-only treatment, which has been accepted and granted priority review in China. Further data with additional analysis stratified by brain metastasis status from a high MET overexpression and/or amplification treatment subset of the SAVANNAH Phase II study of the savolitinib and osimertinib combination in NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutation and MET amplification or overexpression after progressing on osimertinib were reported. The savolitinib and osimertinib combination demonstrated better efficacy outcomes compared to savolitinib plus placebo. The combination showed promising central nervous system (“CNS”) activity, with reduced CNS progression and fewer new CNS lesions. Results will be presented from the dose-escalation stage of the Phase I study of ranosidenib (HMPL-306), a novel, small-molecule, highly selective oral dual-inhibitor of both Isocitrate dehydrogenase (“IDH”) 1 and IDH2 enzymes, being studied in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors with IDH mutations. Results show that the compound was well tolerated, showing target inhibition and durable responses in patients. Efficacy signals were observed especially in the efficacy evaluated group of lower-grade glioma patients (N=14), with an objective response rate (“ORR”) of 7.1% and a disease control rate (“DCR”) of 100%. Results will also be presented from the sub-group analyses of the FRUSICA-1 open-label, single-arm, pivotal Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fruquintinib plus sintilimab in previously treated advanced endometrial cancer (EMC) patients with pMMR (proficient mismatch repair) status. Efficacy findings for patients with serous carcinoma (N=27) were clinically meaningful and characterized by responses similar to those observed in full trial population (N=98), with an Independent Review Committee (“IRC”)-assessed ORR of 37.0% and a DCR of 88.9%. The analysis of whether the response was affected by prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy (“NACT/ACT”) showed durable and clinically meaningful responses regardless of whether the patient had received NACT/ACT. Results were comparable for patients with and without prior NACT/ACT, with an IRC-assessed ORR of 34.0% versus 31.4% and DCR of 85.1% versus 82.4%, respectively. Results from two subgroup analyses of a Phase IV study of fruquintinib involving 2,798 colorectal cancer patients in China will be presented. In the subgroup analysis evaluating the safety of fruquintinib as monotherapy and in combination therapy, fruquintinib demonstrated a manageable safety profile in both groups. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) of Grade 3 or above occurred in 23.94% in the fruquintinib monotherapy group and 26.06% in the combination therapy group with other anti-cancer treatments. The most common treatment related adverse events (TRAE) of any grade in both groups were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPES) and hypertension. The combination therapy group exhibited a longer treatment duration, potentially indicating improved patient outcomes. In the subgroup analysis by age, the safety of fruquintinib was assessed in younger (age <50) and late-elderly (age ≥75) patients. The safety profile was comparable across both age groups, with younger patients receiving more intensive treatment. Combination therapy with fruquintinib also showed a longer duration than monotherapy in both age subgroups, which may suggest improved survival potential.

Lung cancer is broadly split into non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”) and small cell lung cancer, with NSCLC accounting for about 80% of cases.2 Approximately 10-15% of NSCLC patients in the US and Europe and 30-40% of patients in Asia have an epidermal growth factor receptor (“EGFR”) mutation (“EGFRm”).3,4,5,6 Approximately 2-3% of NSCLC patients have tumors with MET exon 14 skipping alterations, a targetable mutation in the MET gene.7 About Savolitinib and MET Aberrations in Lung Cancer Savolitinib is an oral, potent, and highly selective MET tyrosine kinase inhibitor (“TKI”) being jointly developed by AstraZeneca and HUTCHMED and commercialized by AstraZeneca. MET is a tyrosine kinase receptor that has an essential role in normal cell development.8 Savolitinib blocks atypical activation of the MET receptor tyrosine kinase pathway that occurs because of mutations (such as exon 14 skipping alterations or other point mutations), gene amplification or protein overexpression. MET overexpression and/or amplification can lead to tumor growth and the metastatic progression of cancer cells, and is a known mechanism of acquired resistance to EGFR TKIs.8,9 The prevalence of MET depends on the sample type, detection method and assay cut-off used. Savolitinib is approved in China and is marketed under the brand name ORPATHYS® by AstraZeneca for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping alteration, representing the first selective MET inhibitor approved in China. It is currently under clinical development for multiple tumor types, including lung, kidney, and gastric cancers as a single treatment and in combination with other medicines. About Savolitinib in combination with TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) Among patients who experience disease progression following treatment with a third-generation EGFR TKI, approximately 15-50% present with MET aberration, depending on the sample type, detection method and assay cut-off used. TAGRISSO® is a third-generation, irreversible EGFR-TKI with proven clinical activity in NSCLC, including against central nervous system metastases. Treatment with savolitinib in combination with TAGRISSO® has been studied extensively in these patients in the TATTON (NCT02143466) and SAVANNAH (NCT03778229) studies. The encouraging results led to the initiation of several Phase III trials in this setting including the SACHI trial in China (NCT05015608) and the global SAFFRON trial (NCT05261399), as well as the SANOVO trial in China (NCT05009836). This combination represents a promising chemo-free oral treatment strategy to address mechanisms of resistance in this advanced setting. Positive data from the SACHI randomized Phase III trial has led to the filing of a second New Drug Application (“NDA”) in China. Strong data from the SAVANNAH single-arm Phase II study was recently presented at the European Lung Cancer Congress (ELCC) in March 2025 demonstrated high, clinically meaningful and durable objective response rate (ORR), with consistent safety results. The SAFFRON randomized Phase III trial is progressing. Following AstraZeneca’s consultation with the US Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), we look forward to completing the SAFFRON trial as soon as possible to support potential US and other global registration filings. SACHI: The SACHI China Phase III trial met the primary endpoint of progression free survival (PFS) during its interim analysis towards the end of 2024 and a NDA was accepted and granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation and Priority Review status in China in December 2024. SACHI evaluated the combination of savolitinib and TAGRISSO® for the treatment of patients with EGFRm, MET-amplified locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC after progression on EGFR TKI compared to platinum-based doublet chemotherapy. Results will be presented at an upcoming scientific conference. SAFFRON: In 2023, savolitinib and TAGRISSO® received Fast Track Designation from the US FDA in this setting. The global SAFFRON Phase III trial is currently ongoing to assess the savolitinib plus TAGRISSO® combination versus platinum-based doublet chemotherapy in patients with EGFRm, MET-overexpressed and/or amplified, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC following progression on treatment with TAGRISSO®. Patients are being prospectively selected using the high MET level cut-off identified in SAVANNAH.
