About this study

Official title: Savolitinib Combine With Durvalumab in Chinese EGFR Wild-type Locally Advanced or Metastatic NSCLC Patients With MET Alteration: An Open-label, Interventional, Multiple-center, Exploratory Trial (SOUND)

This is an open-label, interventional, multiple-center, exploratory Phase II study sponsored by AstraZeneca Investment(China)Co., LTD. to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Savolitinib combine with Durvalumab in Chinese EGFR wild-type locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients with MET alteration.

Read the detailed description

Successfully enrolled, eligible patients will receive treatment of durvalumab (1500 mg, ivgtt, q4w) in combination with savolitinib (600mg for BW≥50kg, 400mg for BW<50kg, p.o., q.d.) after informed consent signed. Treatment will continue until either objective disease progression, unacceptable toxicity occurs, consent is withdrawn, other discontinuation criterion is met, or study completion.

Tumor assessment is conducted according to RECIST 1.1. Baseline tumor assessments should include CT/MRI of chest and abdomen (including liver and adrenal glands) and should be performed within 28 days prior to receiving first dose of treatment. Follow-up assessments should be performed every 8 weeks (±7 days) after the start of treatment until 4 month, and then every 12 weeks until objective disease progression as defined by RECIST 1.1 even if a patient discontinues treatment prior to progression (unless they withdraw consent). Patients who have been observed CR or PR firstly will be scheduled for an additional visit to confirm efficacy at 4 weeks (+7 days) after the first assessment result of CR or PR was observed.

Safety information should be visit in siteand will be prospectively collected from informed consent to the end of the follow-up period, defined as 3028 days (± 7 days) after last dose of Savolitinib, or 90 days (± 7 days) after last dose of Durvalumab which comes later.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PFS

    PFS (Progression-Free Survival ) will be defined as the time from first dose of study intervention until progression per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the investigator or death due to any cause prior to progressive disease.

    Measured: The analysis will occur when 60 percent PFS event is observed in each cohort, at approximately 10 months after last patient in.

Secondary outcomes (4)

  1. ORR

    ORR(Objective Response Rate) defined as the proportion of participants who achieved a CR (Complete Response) or PR(Partial response) as their best overall response based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)1.1 as assessed by the investigator.

    Measured: The analysis will occur at two months after last patient in.

  2. DoR

    DoR(Duration of Response)is defined as the time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression (ie, date of PFS (Progression-Free Survival ) event or censoring-date of first response+1).

    Measured: The analysis will occur when 60 percent PFS event is observed in each cohort, at approximately 10 months after last patient in.

  3. DCR

    DCR (Disease Control Rate)is defined as the number(percent)of subjects with at least one visit response of confirmed CR (Complete Response), PR (Partial Response) or SD(Stable Disease), based on based on Investigator assessment according to RECIST 1.1.

    Measured: The analysis will occur at two months after last patient in.

  4. OS

    OS(Overall Survival) is defined as the time from the start of treatment until death due to any cause. Any patient not known to have died at the time of analysis will be censored based on the last recorded date on which the patient was known to be alive.

    Measured: The analysis will occur when 60 percent PFS event ratio is observed in each cohort, at approximately 10 months after last subject in, up to a maximum of approximately 3 years after first subject in.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Savolitinib and Durvalumab in people with Lung Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 16 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 29 inclusion and 63 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PFS (time frame: The analysis will occur when 60 percent PFS event is observed in each cohort, at approximately 10 months after last patient in.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05374603.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Sep 2026.
