The Phase III SAFFRON trial met its primary and key secondary endpoints, demonstrating that TAGRISSO plus savolitinib significantly improved progression-free and overall survival versus platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with MET-driven, EGFR-mutated NSCLC who progressed on prior TAGRISSO therapy. The combination therapy showed a safety profile consistent with the known profiles of the individual medicines, targeting a common resistance mechanism that affects approximately one-third of patients treated with third-generation EGFR-TKIs.
