Savolitinib for Treating Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients

This is a single-arm, multi-cohort, multi-center, open-label, phase IIIb clinical study. The objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Savolitinib in the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with MET exon 14 mutations. The study involves a Screening Period, a Treatment Period and a Follow-up Period. There are 53 study sites initiated and enrolled 203 advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with MET exon 14 mutations

Exclusion criteria

• Having gene mutations sensitive to targeted drugs for EGFR, ALK and ROS1;
• Previous anti-MET therapy (including but not limited to crizotinib, Onartuzumab, etc.)
• Currently having other malignant tumors, or having other infiltrating malignant tumors in the past 5 years. Stage I malignant tumor after radical treatment for at least 3 years, except those considered by investigators to have small possibility of recurrence. Patients with radically treated carcinoma in situ (non-infiltrating) and skin cancer other than malignant melanoma can be enrolled;
