Synthesis

On October 23, 2026, AstraZeneca announced the commercial launch of ZEGFROVY (sunvozertinib tablets) in the United States. The drug, independently developed by Dizhe Pharmaceutical, treats adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring confirmed EGFR exon20 insertions whose disease progressed on or who cannot tolerate prior platinum-based chemotherapy. It is described as the only approved oral single-agent targeted therapy for such patients after platinum chemotherapy. The second-line and later monotherapy indication is now approved in both China and the US. Supplemental applications for first-line treatment of EGFR exon20ins NSCLC have been accepted for review by both China's CDE and the FDA, and those first-line decisions remain open, as does whether AstraZeneca's acquisition was a precondition for US commercialization.
