Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine the efficacy of savolitinib in combination with osimertinib versus platinum doublet chemotherapy by assessment of PFS in participants with EGFR mutated, MET-overexpressed and/or amplified, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on treatment with osimertinib.;Secondary Objective: In participants with EGFR mutated, MET-overexpressed and/or amplified, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have progressed on treatment with osimertinib, treated with savolitinib in combination with osimertinib versus platinum doublet chemotherapy: To determine the efficacy of savolitinib in combination with osimertinib versus platinum doublet chemotherapy by assessment of: 1) OS (MET-overexpressed and/or amplified) 2) PFS (MET-overexpressed by IHC) 3) OS (MET-overexpressed by IHC) 4) ORR, DoR, DCR, TDT or death, and tumour shrinkage, (MET-overexpressed and/or amplified). 5) To assess participant-reported pulmonary core symptoms of NSCLC. 6) To evaluate the PK of savolitinib. 7) To evaluate the safety and tolerability of savolitinib in combination with osimertinib versus platinum doublet chemotherapy.;Primary end point(s): PFS as defined as time from randomisation until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, or death due to any cause in participants with centrally confirmed MET IHC+ and/or MET FISH+ status (FAS). The comparison will include all randomised participants, as randomised, regardless of whether the participant withdraws from randomised therapy, receives another anti-cancer therapy, or clinically progresses prior to RECIST 1.1 progression.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Approximately 55 months post first subject randomized

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1) to 5) and 7) Approximately 55 months post first subject randomized. 6) 6 weeks after last patient dosed.;Secondary end point(s): 1) Overall survival defined as time from randomisation until the date of death due to any cause. 2) Progression-free survival defined as time from randomisation until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, or death due to any cause in centrally confirmed MET IHC+ population of FAS (FAS-IHC+). 3) Overall survival defined as time from randomisation until the date of death due to any cause in FAS-IHC+. 4) -Objective response rate will be based on BOR defined as the proportion of participants who have BOR of a CR or PR, as determined by BICR per RECIST 1.1. -Duration of response defined as the time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR, or death in the absence of disease progression. -Disease control rate defined as the proportion of participants who have BOR of a CR, PR, or stable disease, as determined by BICR per RECIST 1.1. -Time to discontinuation of treatment or death is defined as the time from date of randomisation to the earlier of the date of study intervention discontinuation (i.e., discontinuation of the last study intervention in the combination) or death. -Tumour shrinkage defined as percentage change in tumour size in accordance with RECIST 1.1. 5) -TTD in pulmonary core symptoms (dyspnoea, cough, and chest pain) as measured by the NSCLC-SAQ. -TTD is defined as the time from randomisation until the date of deterioration. 6) Plasma concentrations of savolitinib and its metabolites in the PK Analysis Set. 7) Safety and tolerability will be evaluated in terms of AEs, SAEs, discontinuation rate due to AEs and deaths; clinical chemistry/haematology including LFTs; ECHOs/MUGAs, ECGs, ECOG performance status and vital signs in the Safety Analysis Set.
