    AstraZeneca and HUTCHMED Submit US NDA for ORPATHYS Plus TAGRISSO in Lung Cancer

    Question

    AstraZeneca and HUTCHMED Submit US NDA for ORPATHYS Plus TAGRISSO in Lung Cancer

    Direct answer

    HUTCHMED announced that commercial partner AstraZeneca submitted an NDA to the US Food and Drug Administration for the oral MET inhibitor savolitinib combined with osimertinib. The regimen is indicated for patients with MET-amplified, EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer exhibiting resistance to first-line EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The regulatory filing represents a critical commercial milestone for HUTCHMED under its global development agreement with AstraZeneca, expanding savolitinib's geographic commercial footprint into the US oncology market. — bullish pressure on HCM.
