Expansion of Summit’s Global Phase III Development Program Starts with Initiation of HARMONi-GI3, a New Study in 1L CRC: Summit to Initiate an Additional Set of Phase III Clinical Trials with Details to Come in Q1 2026
Ivonescimab with Chemotherapy Reduces the Risk of Disease Progression or Death by 48% Compared to Chemotherapy Alone in Global Phase III HARMONi Trial Evaluating Patients with EGFRm NSCLC after EGFR TKI Therapy with Consistent Data across Regions
Ivonescimab with Chemotherapy Reduced the Risk of Disease Progression or Death by 40%, Median PFS of 11.14 Months, Compared to Tislelizumab (PD-1 Inhibitor) Plus Chemotherapy, Median PFS 6.90 Months, in 1L Treatment of Patients with Squamous NSCLC in Phase III HARMONi-6 Study Conducted by Akeso in China
HARMONi-3 Global Phase III Study Analyses Will Be Split by Histology: Squamous NSCLC Cohort Expected to Complete Enrollment First Half of 2026 with Data Readout Expected Second Half 2026; Non-Squamous NSCLC Cohort Expected to Complete Enrollment Second Half of 2026
MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Summit Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: SMMT) ("Summit," "we," or the "Company") today reports its financial results and provides an update on operational progress for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.
Planned BLA Submission for Ivonescimab in Q4 2025
Today, Summit announces that, based on the results of the HARMONi clinical trial, it plans to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) in order to seek approval for ivonescimab plus chemotherapy for this proposed indication. We intend to submit the BLA in the fourth quarter of 2025. The positive results of the multiregional Phase III study are detailed further below. As previously noted, the FDA noted that a statistically significant overall survival benefit is necessary to support marketing authorization in this setting. After careful consideration of the safety and efficacy profile of the current FDA-approved options for patients in this setting, the positive results of the Phase III multiregional study, including regional consistency, as well as discussions with key opinion leaders and those physicians who have administered ivonescimab to patients in a clinical study setting, we believe that the safety and efficacy data generated in the HARMONi study demonstrates that patients suffering from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in this setting can benefit from the ivonescimab regimen despite the lack of a statistically significant showing on overall survival.
Further Expansion of the Phase III Ivonescimab Clinical Development Program
In addition to the announcement HARMONi-GI3, a new global Phase III study in first-line unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC), Summit today announces its intention to expand its ivonescimab clinical development program with an additional set of Phase III clinical studies. We intend to provide additional color with respect to these Phase III studies in the first quarter of 2026.
Other Operational & Corporate Updates
Operational progress continues with ivonescimab (SMT112), an investigational, potentially first-in-class bispecific antibody combining the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD-1 with the anti-angiogenesis effects associated with blocking VEGF into a single molecule:
