New drug combo aims to outsmart resistant lung cancer
NCT ID NCT07322783
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding savolitinib to osimertinib can help people with a certain type of advanced lung cancer (EGFR-mutated NSCLC) that has become resistant to osimertinib. The study enrolls 60 adults whose tumors have low levels of MET amplification. Participants take both drugs daily until the disease worsens or side effects become too severe. The main goal is to see how many patients' tumors shrink or disappear.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Osimertinib and savolitinib (two cancer drugs taken as pills)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with a specific type of lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply widely. The combination may cause side effects or fail to improve outcomes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Histologically or cytologically confirmed incurable advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer who resistant to resistant to osimertinib, chemo-immunotherapy or anti-angiogenesis. 2\. At least 1 measurable lesion (RECIST 1.1). 3. MET amplification copy number below 5 by FISH. 4. Male or female patients age ≥18 years. 5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-2. 6. Estimated OS ≥3 months. 7. Adequate hematologic and bone marrow functions. 8. Adequate renal and liver function. 9. Had recovered from all toxicities related to prior anticancer therapies to grade ≤ 2, except for patients with grade 2 nausea/vomiting and/or grade 2 diarrhea despite optimal supportive therapy who will not be allowed to participate in the study. 10\. Willingness to use contraception by a method that is deemed effective by the investigator by both males and female patients of child bearing potential (postmenopausal women must have been amenorrhea for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential) and their partners throughout the treatment period and for at least three months following the last dose of study drug. 11\. Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent form (the consent form must be signed by the patient prior to any study-specific procedures). 12\. Willingness and ability to comply with study procedures and follow-up examination. Exclusion13. Any of the following cardiac criteria: screening period resting period QTC \> 470 milliseconds (clinical electrocardiograph report value; if a single time\> 470 milliseconds, take the average of 3 inspections); rhythm of resting electrocardiogram (ECG), any clinically important abnormality of conduction or morphology (e.g., complete left bundle branch block, Grade 3 heart block, Grade 2 heart block); family history of congenital long QT prolongation syndrome or long QT syndrome. 14\. Evidence of any serious or uncontrolled systemic disease; various chronic active infections such as hepatitis B (HBV-DNA ≥ 104 copy number/ml or 2000 IU/ml), hepatitis C and HIV; uncontrollable Hypertensive patients (requires 2 or more drugs to control blood pressure); unstable angina; angina pectoris within 3 months prior to study; congestive heart failure (NYHA class II or higher); myocardial infarction (NSTEMI or STEMI) history in 6 months before study enrollment; severe arrhythmia requiring medical attention; severe liver, kidney, gastrointestinal or metabolic diseases. 15\. Patients who are unable to taking drugs 16. Other malignancies need treatment; except effectively treated skin basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, and/or effectively resected orthotopic cervical cancer and/or breast cancer. 17\. Female patients during pregnancy or lactation. 18. Previous allergies or intolerance to treatment with osimertinib and savolitinib. 19\. Any other condition or circumstance of that would, in the opinion of the investigator, make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study. Criteria: \-
