Abstract 2O

Background

Savo is an oral, potent and highly selective MET-TKI that when combined with osi, an oral, third-generation EGFR-TKI, may overcome acquired MET-driven resistance in EGFRm advanced NSCLC post-osi. We report primary results from the Ph 2 SAVANNAH study (NCT03778229), assessing the efficacy and safety of savo + osi in this setting.

Methods

Pts with EGFRm advanced NSCLC and MET OverExp and/or Amp after PD on osi received savo 300 mg BID + osi 80 mg QD. MET thresholds were initially MET IHC3+/≥50% (3+ intensity in ≥50% of tumour cells) or FISH5+ (≥5 MET gene copies or MET:CEP7 ratio ≥2) and then defined as MET IHC3+/≥90% (3+ intensity in ≥90% of tumour cells) or FISH10+ (≥10 MET gene copies). The primary efficacy population was defined as pts with PD on 1L osi and MET IHC 3 +/≥90% or FISH10+ who received savo 300 mg BID + osi. Primary endpoint: inv-assessed ORR. Secondary endpoints included ORR by BICR; DoR and PFS by inv and BICR. Safety was also evaluated. DCO: 23 Aug 2024. We report efficacy in the primary efficacy population and safety in all pts who received savo 300 mg BID + osi.

Results

Of 101 pts who received savo 300 mg BID + osi, 80 were in the primary efficacy population: median age 66 yrs; 70% female; 71% White; 60% ECOG PS 1; 39% brain metastases at study entry. Inv-assessed ORR was 56% (95% CI 45, 67) and BICR ORR was similar (Table). Gr ≥3 AEs occurred in 57% (Gr ≥3 TRAEs 32%); SAEs 31%; AEs leading to discontinuation of savo/osi 16%/12%. Most common all-grade AEs (>20%): peripheral oedema 58%, nausea 45%, diarrhoea 33%, vomiting 21%. No new safety concerns emerged.

Conclusions

After PD on 1L osi, savo 300 mg BID + osi was well tolerated and demonstrated clinically meaningful and durable response in pts with EGFRm advanced NSCLC with MET IHC 3+/≥90% and/or FISH10+ status. This combination offers a potential treatment option in this setting and is under further investigation in the ongoing Ph 3 SAFFRON study (NCT05261399).
