Western Patients Achieved OS HR of 0.76, Consistent with Asian Patients in this Global Phase III Study
Summit Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:SMMT) today announced results of an updated overall survival (OS) analysis from the global Phase III HARMONi clinical trial featuring the novel, potential first-in-class investigational bispecific antibody ivonescimab. Ivonescimab plus platinum-doublet chemotherapy in this trial continues to show a positive OS trend and a consistent efficacy and safety profile in Asian and western patients when compared to chemotherapy alone. The HARMONi study is evaluating ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy compared to placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with endothelial growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who were previously treated with a third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). The study demonstrated a statistically significant benefit in the primary analysis for progression-free survival (PFS), one of the study’s two primary endpoints along with OS. Summit’s Biologics License Application (BLA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is based on the results from the HARMONi trial and has a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal action date of November 14, 2026.
In April 2025, the primary OS analysis was performed, whereby ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy showed a positive trend without achieving a statistically significant benefit with a hazard ratio of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.62 – 1.01; p=0.057). Median OS was 16.8 months for those patients administered ivonescimab plus chemotherapy vs. 14.0 months for those receiving placebo plus chemotherapy. At the time of the primary analysis, median follow-up time for western patients was 9.2 months and less than the median OS at the time of the primary analysis.
In September 2025, an additional analysis was performed, whereby the western patients were followed to increase their time on study (Asian patients were included and locked at the time of the primary analysis at a median follow-up time of 32.7 months). This analysis included longer-term follow-up of western patients of 13.7 months. A hazard ratio of 0.78 (95% CI: 0.62 – 0.98; nominal p=0.0332) was observed, consistent with the primary analysis. Median OS remained the same in both arms from the primary analysis.
An additional analysis was performed with a data cut-off date in June 2026, whereby most western patients have now discontinued treatment or completed two years of treatment. The median follow-up time for western patients now is 23.2 months. The cutoff date for Asian patients was consistent with the prior analysis with a median follow-up time of 32.7 months. A hazard ratio of 0.76 was observed in both the full intention-to-treat population and the subgroup of western patients. More detailed data from this analysis are intended to be presented at an upcoming medical meeting. These results have been made available to the FDA.
