Sunvozertinib is an anti-cancer medication used for the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer. [2] [3] It is an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor. [2] [4]

Contents

Sunvozertinib was approved for medical use in the United States in July 2025. [1]

Medical uses

In the US, sunvozertinib is indicated for the treatment of adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor exon 20 insertion mutations, as detected by an FDA-approved test, whose disease has progressed on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. [1]

Side effects

The US FDA prescribing information for sunvozertinib includes warnings and precautions for interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, gastrointestinal adverse reactions, dermatologic adverse reactions, ocular toxicity, and embryo-fetal toxicity. [1]

History

Sunvozertinib is being developed by Dizal Pharmaceutical. [5] In China, it was conditionally approved in 2023 for the treatment of NSCLC and full approval is contingent on results of phase 3 clinical trials. [6] In the United States, it has been designated by the Food and Drug Administration as a breakthrough therapy for patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLCs with an EGFR exon 20 insertion mutation. [7]

Efficacy was evaluated in WU-KONG1B (NCT03974022), a multinational, open-label, dose randomization trial. [1] Eligible participants had locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with epidermal growth factor receptor exon 20 insertion mutations with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy. [1] The primary efficacy population was in 85 participants who received sunvozertinib 200 mg orally once daily with food until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. [1]

The US Food and Drug Administration granted the application for sunvozertinib priority review and breakthrough therapy designations. [1]
