Sunvozertinib
**Article:**
Dizal Pharmaceuticals’ EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) Sunvozertinib, known as 舒沃替尼 (Shuwo Tini) in China, has achieved a significant milestone with the publication of data from its Chinese registration study (WU-KONG6) in “The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.” This study validates the clinical efficacy of the Chinese-developed drug in treating late-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon20ins mutations, marking a crucial breakthrough for patients who have long faced challenges in finding effective treatments.
**Challenges in Treating EGFR exon20ins Mutant NSCLC**
EGFR exon20ins mutation has been a formidable subtype in EGFR-mutant NSCLC, with limited effectiveness observed in traditional EGFR-TKI and chemotherapy treatments. Faced with this challenge, pharmaceutical companies are actively engaged in new drug development to propel advancements in the treatment landscape for EGFR exon20ins mutant NSCLC. The success of the WU-KONG6 study signifies a critical recognition in this field and affirms the high efficacy and low toxicity of Sunvozertinib in treating EGFR exon20i

ns mutant NSCLC.
**Results from the Chinese Registration Study “WU-KONG6″**
The results of the Chinese registration study “WU-KONG6” demonstrate that Sunvozertinib achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 60.8% in treated patients with EGFR exon20ins mutations. This indicates a significant tumor reduction in over 60% of patients, leading to a substantial decrease in tumor burden. Moreover, patients experienced improvements in clinical symptoms and quality of life. Notably, Sunvozertinib is currently the only drug that has elevated the ORR in treated patients with EGFR exon20ins mutations to over 50%, breaking previous treatment ceilings and showcasing its potential as the “best in class.”
**Looking Ahead**
The competition in the field of EGFR exon20ins mutant NSCLC treatment is intensifying, and the successful introduction of Sunvozertinib provides a new therapeutic option for patients. As other pharmaceutical companies globally advance in new drug development, the innovation and competition in this field are expected to escalate, bringing more hope to patients with EGFR exon20ins mutant NSCLC. In the continual pursuit of medical breakthroughs, the emergence of new drugs will offer more effective treatment options, contributing to the extension of patients’ survival periods.
