Furmonertinib is a Chinese lung cancer pill of the same class as osimertinib, which more than doubled the time before cancer grew compared with gefitinib in the FURLONG trial.
Developed by Shanghai Allist Pharmaceuticals; approved by the NMPA in March 2021 for EGFR T790M-positive NSCLC after earlier EGFR inhibitors and in June 2022 for first-line EGFR-mutant NSCLC on FURLONG (358 patients: median progression-free survival 20.8 versus 11.1 months with gefitinib, hazard ratio 0.44). A higher dose is being developed for EGFR exon 20 insertions, where ArriVent BioPharma holds ex-China rights and is running the global FURVENT phase 3 trial. Adjuvant and central nervous system studies continue.
Irreversible third-generation EGFR inhibitor active against sensitising mutations and T790M with a trifluoroethoxy pyridine that improves brain penetration; its main metabolite is also active. Connects to EGFR.
1.Furmonertinib slips into a pocket on EGFR.
