Ivonescimab Plus Chemotherapy Demonstrates Statistically Significant and Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Progression-Free Survival in Patients with EGFR-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer after EGFR TKI Therapy in Global Study

Published

Consistent Results Noted between Single Region HARMONi-A and Multiregional HARMONi Studies; Favorable Trends in Sub-Populations from North America and China for Both Primary Endpoints Were Observed

Ivonescimab in Combination with Chemotherapy Reduces the Risk of Disease Progression or Death by 48% Compared to Chemotherapy Alone; Positive Overall Survival Trend Observed with Hazard Ratio of 0.79

HARMONi Represents the First Phase III Trial to Evaluate Ivonescimab in a Multiregional Setting

Summit to Determine Timing of US BLA Filing

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Summit Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: SMMT) (“Summit,” “we,” or the “Company”) today announced topline results from the Phase III clinical trial, HARMONi, the first global Phase III study evaluating ivonescimab, successfully met the progression-free survival (PFS) primary endpoint and showed a positive trend in the other primary endpoint, overall survival (OS).

HARMONi is a multiregional, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase III study sponsored by Summit evaluating ivonescimab plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy compared to placebo plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have progressed after treatment with a 3rd generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). This is a clinical setting with a patient population where PD-1 monoclonal antibodies have previously been unsuccessful in Phase III global clinical trials in showing either a PFS or OS benefit.

Approximately 38% of patients were randomized from western countries (ex-Asia), consistent with other recent multiregional Phase III studies in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC.

At the prespecified primary data analysis, ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival, with a hazard ratio of 0.52 (95% CI: 0.41 – 0.66; p
