显著延长PFS！复宏汉霖创新抗PD-1单抗H药以国际品质进军鳞状肺癌，昨日正式获批！

复宏汉霖董事长、执行董事兼首席执行官张文杰表示：

“

H药获批sqNSCLC标志着这款高品质抗PD-1单抗正式应用于肺癌临床治疗，以国际品质造福广大患者，也进一步提升了H药在该领域的影响力。肺癌是我国乃至世界高发癌种，临床治疗需求巨大，复宏汉霖对此进行了多元化的布局且多个相关适应症的临床研究正稳步推进，期待未来更多积极临床结果的产出，协同H药自身独特优势，为肿瘤治疗作出新贡献。

”

H药sqNSCLC III期临床研究主要研究者，同济大学附属上海市肺科医院肿瘤科主任、同济大学医学院肿瘤研究所所长周彩存教授表示：

“

sqNSCLC约占非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）的25%-30%，是NSCLC的第二大亚型，临床需求较大。斯鲁利单抗针对sqNSCLC所开展的国际多中心临床是中国研究者牵头开展的样本量最大的sqNSCLC国际性临床研究，全球范围共入组500余名受试者。试验结果表明斯鲁利单抗已达到预设的主要研究终点，显著延长患者无进展生存期（PFS）。该研究取得的积极结果是肿瘤免疫治疗的又一利好，期待其在临床实践中让更多患者获益。

”

国际品质满足更多临床需求

此次获批主要基于一项随机、双盲、国际多中心III期临床研究 (ASTRUM-004)，该研究于全球多地包括中国、欧盟波兰、土耳其等国家开设研究中心，其中纳入白人的比例超过30%，充分的国际临床试验数据有望支持海外市场的申报，也为全球性临床应用奠定基础。临床研究结果表明，H药联合卡铂和白蛋白紫杉醇治疗既往未接受治疗的局部晚期或转移性sqNSCLC患者获益显著，达到预设的主要终点，且具有良好的安全性和耐受性。

肺癌是全球最常见癌症之一，是中国发病率和死亡率最高的恶性肿瘤。根据国家癌症中心发布的最新全国癌症统计数据显示，肺癌新发病例82.8万，总死亡人数65.7万^[1]。NSCLC约占所有肺癌的80%-85%^[2]，约50%的NSCLC患者在诊断时已处于不适合手术切除的局部晚期或已发生转移。而晚期sqNSCLC约占晚期NSCLC的30%，治疗模式多以含铂双药化疗为主，疗效不甚理想，患者的中位生存期较短，很多不超过1年，因此，该领域存在着巨大的未满足的医疗需求。近年来，免疫检查点抑制剂在临床治疗中取得了诸多突破，在NSCLC方面也获得了长足的发展，尤其是抗PD-1单抗联合卡铂+白蛋白紫杉醇治疗晚期或转移性sqNSCLC已获得NCCN、CSCO等国内外权威指南推荐，并推动晚期NSCLC进入免疫治疗时代。H药的获批将为该病理亚型带来新的用药选择，促进免疫治疗在肺癌临床治疗中更广泛的应用，也进一步助力肺癌治疗创新发展。

持续创新深耕肺癌一线治疗

H药作为复宏汉霖首个创新型单抗，适应症布局广泛并在全球开展10余项免疫联合疗法临床研究，覆盖肺癌、肝细胞癌、食管癌、头颈鳞癌和胃癌等高发癌种，全球累计入组已超过3100名受试者，也是拥有国际临床数据较多的抗PD-1单抗，加码H药国际化进程。在肺癌领域，H药更是全面覆盖其一线治疗，除了sqNSCLC，还在非鳞状非小细胞肺癌（nsqNSCLC）和小细胞肺癌 (SCLC) 等领域开展临床试验。其中，H药治疗广泛期小细胞肺癌（ES-SCLC）的III期临床试验获得积极结果，是全球首个一线治疗ES-SCLC获得阳性结果的抗PD-1单抗。目前，该适应症的上市申请已获得NMPA受理，有望成为全球首个一线治疗SCLC的抗PD-1单抗。NSCLC方面，复宏汉霖也正积极开展多项临床研究，包括H药联合创新型抗EGFR单抗HLX07一线治疗EGFR高表达sqNSCLC、H药联合汉贝泰^®（贝伐珠单抗）一线治疗nsqNSCLC等。公司潜心深耕肺癌领域，不断扩大针对该领域的适应症布局，并以创新的联合治疗方案助力肺癌患者实现更高质量的长期生存。

“以患者需求为核心”是复宏汉霖研发的根本价值，我们将继续以此为创新动力，致力解决临床治疗难点和痛点，让患者获得高质量、更长久的生存。H药也将承载挽救更多病患的使命，继续在肺癌和更多肿瘤领域不断探索和突破，给予更多患者生命的力量。

Henlius’ Novel Anti-PD-1 mAb HANSIZHUANG (Serplulimab)

Receives NMPA Approval

for the Treatment of sqNSCLC

Shanghai, China, Nov, 1st, 2022 – Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. (2696. HK) announced that its first self-developed innovative anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) HANSIZHUANG (generic name: serplulimab injection), in combination with carboplatin and albumin-bound paclitaxel for the first-line treatment of unresectable locally advanced or metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC), has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), providing an alternative treatment option for patients. HANSIZHUANG had already been approved for the treatment of Microsatellite Instability-High (MSI-H) solid tumors, and it covers a wide variety of indications to benefit a broader population of patients.

Wenjie Zhang, Chairman, Executive Director, and CEO of Henlius, said, “the approval marks that HANSIZHUANG steps into the clinical practice of lung cancer, benefiting patients with its world-class quality, and actively expands its presence. Lung cancer is a kind of cancer with high incidence in China and world, which has a huge demand for clinical treatment. Henlius has a sound indication plan in a diverse variety of lung cancer, in which many clinical studies are forging ahead. We will fully tap the potential of HANSIZHUANG and look forward to more positive study results to make further contributions in cancer treatment.”

Prof. Caicun Zhou, the leading principal investigator and Chief of Oncology Department of Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University and Director of Cancer Institute of Tongji University School of Medicine, said, “sqNSCLC accounts for about 25%-30% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with the 2nd highest incidence rate among NSCLC, and has a large demand for clinical treatment. In terms of the study, this is the largest sqNSCLC MRCT (Multi-Regional Clinical Trials) led by Chinese researchers, with more than 500 subjects enrolled globally. The study results demonstrate that serplulimab injection has reached the predefined primary study endpoint and extended progression-free survival (PFS) significantly. It is another key achievement of immunotherapy and is ready to benefit more patients.”

Fulfill the clinical medication needs with world-class quality

The approval was primarily based on a randomized, double-blind, global multi-center Phase 3 clinical trial (ASTRUM-004) initiated in many countries around the world, including China, Poland, Turkey, etc., of which more than 30% are white. Its global clinical trial data will support NDAs in overseas markets and lay a foundation for clinical practice all over the world in the future. The results indicate that HANSIZHUANG in combination with carboplatin and albumin-bound paclitaxel could bring significant benefits in the treatment of previously untreated locally advanced or metastatic sqNSCLC patients, which meets the primary endpoint and has good safety and tolerability.

Lung cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, and it is the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality in China. According to the latest national cancer statistics released by the National Cancer Center, there are 828,000 new cases of lung cancer, with a total death toll of 657,000^[1], in which NSCLC accounts for about 80% – 85% of all lung cancers ^[2], and about 50% of NSCLC patients are in local advanced stage that is not suitable for surgical resection or have metastasized at the time of diagnosis. The advanced sqNSCLC, making up about 30% of the advanced NSCLC, is given first place to a platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, which has limited efficacy, and the median survival time (MST) is quite short, many of which are less than 1 year. Therefore, there are huge unmet medical needs. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors have made breakthroughs in NSCLC treatment, especially, the anti-PD-1 mAb combined with carboplatin and albumin-bound paclitaxel have been recommended by domestic and international authoritative guidelines for the treatment of advanced or metastatic sqNSCLC, which push forward the treatment of the advanced NSCLC into the era of immunotherapy. Furthermore, the approval of HANSIZHUANG brings a new option for sqNSCLC, promoting immunotherapy in clinical treatment of lung cancer, and boosting innovation-driven development.

Keep innovating in the first-line treatment of lung cancer

As the first innovative monoclonal antibody developed by Henlius, HANSIZHUANG covers a wide variety of indications and has initiated more than 10 clinical studies on immuno-oncology combination therapies around the world, including many high-incidence cancers such as lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and gastric cancer. As of now, the company has enrolled more than 3,100 subjects worldwide and HANSIZHUANG is also an anti-PD-1 mAb with one of the largest global clinical data pools, which speed up the commercial expansion in overseas markets. Notably, HANSIZHUANG covers the full range of first-line treatment of lung cancer, including sqNSCLC, non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsqNSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC), etc., in which HANSIZHUANG achieved positive results in the phase 3 clinical trial of extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) and it is also the first anti-PD-1 mAb in the world gaining positive results in the first-line treatment of ES-SCLC. Its NDA is under review and potentially to be the world’s first anti-PD-1 mAb for the first-line treatment of SCLC. In terms of NSCLC, HANSIZHUANG has initiated many clinical studies, such as in combination with innovative anti-EGFR mAb HLX07 for the first-line treatment of sqNSCLC with EGFR overexpression, in combination with HANBEITAI (bevacizumab) for the first-line treatment of nsqNSCLC. The company has devoted itself to lung cancer with a sound indication plan and makes explorations in combination therapies, aiming for a higher quality of life and long-term survival in patients.

Henlius has consistently adhered to the principle of patient-centered care and keeps innovating to address the difficulties and pain points in clinical treatment, while HANSIZHUANG will explore more in lung cancer and other tumors to bring confidence and hope to patients.
