Results from the SACHI Phase III trial confirm the efficacy of MET inhibition in advanced NSCLC patients with acquired MET amplification after EGFR-TKI treatment. The savolitinib and osimertinib combination was approved in China in June 2025. The trial showed a significant improvement in progression-free survival with the combination compared to chemotherapy. The combination also demonstrated a higher objective response rate and disease control rate. The safety profile was tolerable, with no new safety signals observed. MET aberrations play a critical role in NSCLC, affecting a significant percentage of patients globally. ORPATHYS® is a selective MET TKI approved in China for treating NSCLC with MET exon 14 skipping alteration. It’s also approved for patients with EGFRm-positive NSCLC with MET amplification post-EGFR TKI therapy. TAGRISSO® is a proven EGFR-TKI used in NSCLC, showing improved outcomes in late and early-stage disease. The combination of ORPATHYS® and TAGRISSO® offers a promising treatment strategy for NSCLC patients with resistance to third-generation EGFR TKIs. Multiple Phase III trials are underway to study this combination in different patient populations, demonstrating high efficacy and safety.
