    AstraZeneca Submits US NDA for Savolitinib and Tagrisso in MET-Driven Lung Cancer

    Question

    AstraZeneca Submits US NDA for Savolitinib and Tagrisso in MET-Driven Lung Cancer

    Direct answer

    AstraZeneca submitted a New Drug Application to the US Food and Drug Administration for the combination of ORPATHYS (savolitinib) and TAGRISSO (osimertinib). The submission focuses on patients diagnosed with MET-driven, EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer who have experienced disease progression following EGFR-TKI therapy. The regulatory filing represents an advance for HUTCHMED's targeted oncology pipeline in the United States and provides AstraZeneca an established combination pathway to treat secondary resistance mechanisms in its oncology franchise. — bullish pressure on AZN.
