Clinical summary
Summary
Eligible participants will be randomly allocated to either the Active Comparator Arm or the Experimental Arm. In the Active Comparator Arm, participants will receive chemotherapy consisting of pemetrexed (500mg/m2) with either cisplatin (75mg/m2) or carboplatin (AUC5) on Day 1 of 21-day cycles for 4 cycles, followed by pemetrexed maintenance (500mg/m2). These will all be administered by intravenous infusion. In the Experimental Arm, participants will receive 300mg savolitinib twice daily (3 x 100mg) plus 80mg osimertinib once daily.
Conditions
This trial is treating people with locally advanced or metastatic non-small lung cancer with EGFR mutation, MET-overexpression and/or amplification
Eligibility
Inclusion
- Provision of signed and dated written ICF prior to any mandatory and non-mandatory study-specific procedures, sampling and analyses.

- Measurable disease as defined by RECIST 1.1.
- Adequate haematological, liver, renal and cardiac functions, and coagulation parameters.
- ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
Exclusion
- Predominant squamous NSCLC, and small cell lung cancer.

- Unresolved toxicities from any prior therapy greater than CTCAE Grade 1 with the exception of alopecia, haemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL, and Grade 2 prior platinum-therapy related neuropathy.
- Active/unstable cardiac diseases currently or within the last 6 months, clinically significant ECG abnormalities, and/or factors/medications that may affect QTc intervals.
- History of liver cirrhosis of any origin and clinical stage; or history of other serious liver disease or chronic disease with relevant liver involvement.

- Receipt of live attenuated vaccine (including against COVID-19) within 30 days prior to the first dose of study intervention.
- Past medical history of ILD, drug-induced ILD, radiation pneumonitis, which required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically active ILD.

Inclusion
- Your cancer has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) or has grown into nearby parts of the body (locally advanced).
- Your cancer has not spread to other parts of the body (localised).
- You are able to swallow medication by mouth.
- You have had a certain type of treatment or surgical procedure.
Exclusion
- You have certain types of non-cancer medical conditions.
- You have had certain treatments, surgical procedures or drugs.
Clinical trials have complex eligibility criteria, and other criteria may apply for this trial. Ask your doctor about whether this trial could be right for you.
