Group 1: Study Results - The SACHI study demonstrates that the combination of savolitinib (a potent MET TKI) and osimertinib (a third-generation EGFR TKI) significantly improves treatment outcomes for patients with MET amplification [1][2]. - The data from the SACHI study indicates that the combination therapy has been approved in China as of June 2025 [1]. Group 2: Expert Commentary - Professor Lu Shun, a principal investigator of the SACHI study, emphasized that the results provide strong evidence for the effectiveness of the combination therapy in addressing MET amplification, a key resistance mechanism in challenging patient populations [2]. - The study also noted consistent efficacy in patients who had previously received third-generation EGFR TKI treatment, indicating the therapy's potential for a broader patient base [2]. - The combination therapy offers a convenient and well-tolerated all-oral treatment option for patients in need of new therapies [2].
