Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor

Osimertinib + Savolitinib for Lung Cancer (SAVANNAH Trial)

Phase 2
Waitlist Available
Led By Lecia V Sequist, MD MPH
Research Sponsored by AstraZeneca
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
ECOG/WHO performance status of 0 or 1 with no deterioration over the previous 2 weeks and a minimum life expectancy of 12 weeks.
Adequate haematological function defined as: Absolute neutrophil count ≥1500/μL; Haemoglobin ≥9 g/dL (no transfusion in the past 2 weeks); Platelets ≥100,000/μL (no transfusion in the past 10 days).
Must not have
Acute coronary syndrome
Prior or current treatment with savolitinib or another MET inhibitor (eg, foretinib, crizotinib, cabozantinib, onartuzumab, capmatinib).
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up blood samples collected at screening within 28 days before the first dose of study treatment; on day of first dose of study treatment; at discontinuation 7 days after last dose of study treatment. (one cycle = 28 days)

Summary

This trial will test whether adding savolitinib to osimertinib can help patients with EGFRm+ and MET+ NSCLC that has progressed after osimertinib treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that has specific mutations (EGFRm+) and MET amplification/overexpression, who have seen their cancer progress after treatment with osimertinib. They must be in good physical condition, not have severe heart issues or uncontrolled hypertension, and women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of combining two drugs: osimertinib and savolitinib versus a placebo for patients whose NSCLC has worsened despite previous osimertinib treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the disease better.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include diarrhea, rash, dry skin, nail toxicity associated with osimertinib; fatigue, nausea and increased blood creatinine related to savolitinib; plus general risks like infection risk increase due to weakened immune system.
