HUTCHMED (NASDAQ:HCM) has completed patient enrollment for the SANOVO Phase III trial, evaluating the combination of ORPATHYS® (savolitinib) and TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) as a first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with EGFR mutation and MET overexpression in China.
The randomized, controlled study will compare the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy versus TAGRISSO® alone. The trial's primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS), with secondary endpoints including overall survival, objective response rate, and safety measures. Topline results are expected in the second half of 2026, potentially leading to a supplementary New Drug Application to China's NMPA.
HUTCHMED (NASDAQ/AIM:HCM) reported significant financial and operational achievements in H1 2025. The company achieved $455.0 million in net income (vs $25.8M in H1 2024), largely driven by a $416.3 million divestment gain from a non-core joint venture. Total revenue was $277.7 million, down 9% year-over-year.
Key highlights include ORPATHYS® securing China approval for its third lung cancer indication, triggering an $11.0 million milestone payment from AstraZeneca. FRUZAQLA® sales by Takeda grew 25% to $162.8 million, expanding to over 30 countries. The company's cash balance stood at $1.36 billion as of June 30, 2025.

HUTCHMED (NASDAQ/AIM/HKEX: HCM) has received approval from China's NMPA for ORPATHYS® (savolitinib) in combination with TAGRISSO® (osimertinib) for treating lung cancer patients with MET amplification after progression on first-line EGFR inhibitor therapy.
The approval is based on the Phase III SACHI trial results, which demonstrated that the combination reduced the risk of disease progression by 66% compared to chemotherapy. The median progression-free survival was 8.2 months for the combination therapy versus 4.5 months for chemotherapy in the ITT population.
This milestone triggers an $11 million payment from AstraZeneca to HUTCHMED. The treatment represents the first all-oral combination option for these patients, with a tolerable safety profile showing Grade 3 or above adverse events in 57% of patients in both treatment groups.
HUTCHMED (HCM) has announced upcoming presentations of new and updated data from several studies at the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025 in Chicago. The presentations will feature research on compounds discovered by HUTCHMED, including savolitinib, fruquintinib, and surufatinib.
The presentations include both sponsored and investigator-initiated studies, covering various aspects of cancer treatment. Key highlights include the SAVANNAH study examining plasma clearance in NSCLC patients, multiple studies on fruquintinib in colorectal cancer treatment, and several investigations of surufatinib in different cancer types. The research spans clinical trials, mechanism studies, and combination therapies with other treatments.
HUTCHMED has completed patient enrollment for the registration phase of its Phase II trial evaluating savolitinib in gastric cancer patients with MET amplification. The single-arm, multi-center study enrolled 64 patients to assess the drug's efficacy in treating gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.
Interim results showed promising outcomes with a 45% objective response rate (ORR) confirmed by Independent Review Committee, and 50% ORR in patients with high MET gene copy number. The 4-month duration of response rate was 85.7% with 5.5 months median follow-up.
The drug received Breakthrough Therapy Designation from China's NMPA for treating advanced gastric cancer patients who failed standard therapies. HUTCHMED plans to apply for marketing authorization in China by late 2025 if results remain positive.
