Hutchison China MediTech (Chi-Med): AACR 2020 - first surufatinib/PD-1 combo data
Data from early stage surufatinib trials was presented at the American Academy of Cancer Research (AACR) 2020 virtual meeting. Preliminary Phase I data of surufatinib in combination with PD-1 inhibitor toripalimab indicated the combination was safe, well-tolerated, and had encouraging anti-tumour activity. In the 29/30 evaluable patients (April 10, 2020 cut off) the overall response rate (ORR) was 34.5% (one complete response, nine partial responses) with a disease control rate (DCR) of 79.3%. For patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN, n=21), ORR was 33.3% (one CR, five PR, one unconfirmed PR) and DCR, 80.9%. Separately, a second presentation highlighted similar safety/toxicity and PK profiles between Chinese and US patients in the respective Phase I/II surufatinib monotherapy studies. Subject to regulatory approval, in H220 Hutchison China MediTech (Chi-Med) intends to both launch surufatinib monotherapy in its first indication in China and to embark on global pivotal trials.
