Innovent Biologics (HKEX: 01801) presented clinical data for IBI363, a first-in-class PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific antibody fusion protein, combined with bevacizumab in advanced colorectal cancer at the 2024 ESMO Congress. The Phase 1 study involved 35 subjects, showing promising anti-tumor efficacy with good tolerability. Key findings include:

- 21.9% overall response rate (ORR) and 65.6% disease control rate (DCR)
- Median duration of response: 8.1 months
- Median progression-free survival: 4.1 months
- Efficacy observed in patients with and without liver metastases, prior immunotherapy, and RAS mutations

The combination demonstrated potential in non-MSI-H/dMMR advanced colorectal cancer, a population typically less responsive to immunotherapy. Innovent is conducting further Phase 1/2 trials in China, the US, and Australia for various solid tumors.

Innovent Biologics presented clinical data on IBI354, a HER2 monoclonal antibody-camptothecin derivative conjugate, at the 2024 ESMO Congress. The Phase 1/2 study involved 368 participants with advanced solid tumors, including 178 with breast cancer, 92 with ovarian cancer, and 38 with colorectal cancer. Key findings:

1. Excellent safety profile with no DLT events up to 18mg dosage.
2. In platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, 40.2% ORR and 81.6% DCR.
3. In HER2-positive breast cancer, 67.8% ORR and 88.1% DCR.
4. In HER2-positive gastrointestinal malignancies, 57.1% ORR and 91.4% DCR.

IBI354 showed promising efficacy in multiple tumor types, including HER2-low expressions, with a favorable safety profile.

Innovent Biologics (HKEX: 01801) presented Phase 3 clinical trial results for mazdutide, a GLP-1R and GCGR dual agonist, at the 60th Annual Meeting of EASD. The DREAMS-2 study demonstrated mazdutide's superiority over dulaglutide in both glycemic control and body weight reduction in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. After 28 weeks, mazdutide 4 mg and 6 mg showed mean HbA1c reductions of 1.69% and 1.73% respectively, compared to 1.36% for dulaglutide 1.5 mg. Weight reductions were 9.24% and 7.13% for mazdutide 4 mg and 6 mg, significantly outperforming dulaglutide (2.86%). Mazdutide also improved cardiometabolic risk factors and showed a favorable safety profile. The drug is currently under regulatory review in China for chronic weight management and type 2 diabetes treatment.

Innovent Biologics presented Phase 1 clinical data for IBI363, a first-in-class PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific antibody fusion protein, in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer. The study enrolled 134 patients, with 95.5% having received prior PD-(L)1 immunotherapy. Key findings include:

- Overall ORR of 20.8% and DCR of 74.4% in 125 evaluable patients
- In squamous NSCLC, 3 mg/kg Q3W dosing showed ORR of 34.5% and DCR of 89.7%
- Efficacy observed regardless of PD-L1 expression
- Manageable safety profile with 20.1% experiencing grade ≥3 TRAEs

IBI363 demonstrates promising antitumor activity in IO-resistant NSCLC, potentially offering a new treatment option for patients with alternatives.

Innovent Biologics (HKEX: 01801) presented updated results from a pivotal Phase 2 study of Dupert® (fulzerasib) in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with KRAS G12C mutation at the 2024 World Conference on Lung Cancer. The study, involving 116 evaluable subjects, showed promising outcomes:

- Confirmed objective response rate (ORR): 49.1%
- Disease control rate (DCR): 90.5%
- Median progression-free survival (PFS): 9.7 months

Dupert® received NMPA approval in August 2024 for treating advanced NSCLC with KRAS G12C mutation after at least one systemic therapy. The drug demonstrated a favorable safety profile, with mostly Grade 1-2 treatment-related adverse events.

Innovent Biologics (HKEX: 01801) has received Fast Track Designation from the U.S. FDA for IBI363, a PD-1/IL-2α Bispecific Antibody Fusion Protein, for treating advanced melanoma. This designation applies to patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic melanoma who have progressed after at least one line of systemic therapy, including a PD-1/L1 inhibitor.

In ongoing Phase 1/2 trials, IBI363 has shown promising results: among 37 melanoma patients previously treated with immunotherapy, 11 achieved objective responses (1 CR, 10 PR), with an ORR of 29.7% and DCR of 73.0%. This is significant given the efficacy of current treatments for immunotherapy-resistant melanoma, which have an ORR of only 3.8% to 6.8%.

Innovent Biologics (HKEX: 01801) announces multiple clinical study results of mazdutide, a GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist, to be presented at the EASD 60th Annual Meeting in Madrid, Spain from September 9-13, 2024. Key presentations include:

1. DREAMS-2 Phase 3 study results comparing mazdutide to dulaglutide in type 2 diabetes patients.

2. GLORY-1 study on mazdutide's efficacy and safety in Chinese participants with overweight or obesity.

3. Exploratory analysis of mazdutide's improvement of liver steatosis in overweight or obese participants.

4. Phase 2 study results of mazdutide 9 mg in Chinese adults with BMI≥30 kg/m2.

Dr. Lei Qian, VP of Clinical Development, highlighted mazdutide as the first GLP-1R/GCGR dual agonist to complete a Phase 3 study for diabetes, showing superior blood sugar-lowering and weight loss efficacy compared to dulaglutide.
