Synthesis

The global Phase III SAFFRON trial evaluated osimertinib combined with savolitinib against platinum doublet chemotherapy in patients with MET-altered, EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. The combination reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 45%, with a progression-free survival hazard ratio of 0.55 (95% CI 0.42-0.72; p<0.001). The results position the osimertinib-savolitinib pairing as a potential option for this biomarker-defined population after EGFR-directed therapy. Questions that remain open include full survival data, safety and tolerability details beyond the headline efficacy figure, and whether regulators will act on the findings.

    SAFFRON Global Phase III: Osimertinib Plus Savolitinib Cuts Risk of Progression or Death 45% in MET-Altered EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancer
