The two-pronged approach of "rights introduction + independent research and development" from a global perspective is a must for fast-break innovative drugs Blue Ocean. (1) at present, the global biological innovation market is large and the competition is increasingly fierce. In addition to the innovation at the international level, rapid transformation and commercialization are also necessary to win. International cooperation is also indispensable. (2) ATG-017, developed by the company, is a selective oral inhibitor of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 and 2 (ERK1/2), and Drug O is the first PD-1 monoclonal antibody approved to market in the world. ATG-017 is currently in an open, multicenter, phase 1, phase 2 dose exploration trial called ERASER for patients with mutations in the RAS-MAPK pathway, and drug O is its first combination. (3) in addition, Onatasertib, introduced in cooperation with the company, is a new second-generation mTOR inhibitor, which can inhibit both mTORC1 and mTORC2, which is expected to improve the efficacy and reduce side effects; the ORR of its combination with PD-L1 in the treatment of advanced solid tumor is 30%.

Selinexor has been approved in the European Union and South Korea, and a listing in China is imminent. (1) Selinexor is the first approved nuclear output inhibitor (SINE) for XPO1 target in the world, which induces apoptosis by promoting the accumulation of tumor inhibitory proteins in the nucleus.
