Hutchison China MediTech, a Hong Kong-based biopharmaceutical company, is on track to become a global leader in the discovery, development, and commercialisation of innovative, highly selective oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapies for oncology and immunological indications.
Data at AACR from two key non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) trials has shown that savolitinib has encouraging anti-tumour activity and an acceptable safety profile both as monotherapy in exon 14m/del NSCLC, and in combination with osimertinib in MET+ EGFR-TKI refractory NSCLC. These presentations increase our confidence in Hutchison China MediTech (Chi-Med) and partner AstraZeneca’s ability to launch savolitinib, as the first available selective c-Met inhibitor, in its respective NSCLC settings in 2021 (China: MET exon 14m/del) and 2022 (Global: in combination with osimertinib), subject to positive trial read outs and subsequent approvals. We upgrade our valuation to $35.57/ADS or £54.72/share.
