Discovered by Dizal scientists, sunvozertinib is an irreversible EGFR inhibitor designed to target a range of EGFR mutations with wild-type EGFR selectivity.

The approval from NMPA was based on the data from the pivotal study, WU-KONG6, which evaluated sunvozertinib in pretreated NSCLC patients with EGFR Exon20ins mutations.

The trial included 97 patients treated with the recommended Phase II dose of 300mg QD [four times per day].

WU-KONG6’s primary endpoint was a confirmed objective response rate (cORR). The resulting rate was 60.8%, a significant improvement on current treatment options.
