HUTCHMED to Present Key Clinical Data for Multiple Cancer Therapies at ASCO 2025

Targeted TherapyOncology
  • HUTCHMED will showcase new data from several studies at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, including promising results from the SACHI Phase III trial of savolitinib plus osimertinib in EGFR-mutant NSCLC with MET amplification.
  • The Phase I study of ranosidenib (HMPL-306), a dual IDH1/2 inhibitor, demonstrated favorable tolerability and 100% disease control rate in lower-grade glioma patients, showing potential for this novel targeted therapy.
  • Fruquintinib combination therapy showed clinically meaningful responses in advanced endometrial cancer patients with pMMR status, with an objective response rate of 37% in serous carcinoma subgroup and durable efficacy regardless of prior chemotherapy exposure.

Lorlatinib Shows Promising Efficacy in ALK-Rearranged NSCLC with 21.8 Month Median PFS

Real World EvidenceOncologyTargeted Therapy
  • A real-world study of lorlatinib in ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer demonstrated a median progression-free survival of 21.8 months, significantly higher than in previous trials.
  • The objective response rate was 43% with disease control achieved in 94% of patients, while 81% of patients with brain metastases showed objective response for intracranial lesions.
  • Patients experiencing adverse events, particularly hypercholesterolemia and edema, had significantly better outcomes than those without side effects, suggesting a potential correlation between drug exposure and efficacy.

Pertuzumab Regimen Shows Modest Survival Benefit in HER2-Positive Early Breast Cancer

Monoclonal AntibodyOncologyDrug ApprovalTargeted Therapy
• The APHINITY trial's 6-year analysis reveals that adjuvant pertuzumab with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy improved overall survival by 0.9% in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients, though not reaching statistical significance.
• Patients with node-positive disease showed the most significant benefit from the pertuzumab regimen, with a 4.5% absolute improvement in invasive disease-free survival at 6 years compared to placebo.
• The pertuzumab combination maintained a favorable cardiac safety profile with severe cardiac events occurring in less than 1% of patients, supporting its continued use in high-risk HER2-positive early breast cancer.

D3Bio's Novel KRAS-G12C Inhibitor Shows Promising Results in Phase 1 Cancer Trial

OncologyPrecision MedicineTargeted Therapy
  • A multinational study led by Chinese University researchers found that D3S-001, a mainland-developed KRAS-G12C inhibitor, demonstrated significant efficacy with over 70% of patients experiencing tumor shrinkage or disappearance.
  • The novel compound from D3Bio inhibits KRAS-G12C mutations at a faster rate and potentially longer duration than existing treatments, according to Dr. Herbert Loong from CUHK's Department of Clinical Oncology.
  • Researchers are planning phase 3 trials with the goal of positioning D3S-001 as a first-line treatment option for patients with KRAS-G12C-driven cancers of the lung, pancreas, and colon.
