Henlius announced on December 3rd that the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved the company's independently developed innovative anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, Hansoh Injection (Sulili Monoclonal Antibody Injection), for the first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that is unresectable and negative for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) negativity.
This approval was mainly based on a randomized, double-blind, multicenter phase 3 clinical study. The study results showed that Hansoh Injection combined with chemotherapy (carboplatin-pemetrexed) significantly prolonged the progression-free survival (PFS) compared to chemotherapy (carboplatin-pemetrexed) as first-line treatment for advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), meeting the predefined efficacy standards, and demonstrated good safety with no new safety signals observed.
