    On January 4, 2022, Corning Jereh Biopharmaceuticals (stock code: 9966.
    HK) and CSPC (stock code: 1093.
    HK) jointly announced a registered clinical trial of HER2 bispecific antibody KN026 combined with chemotherapy ( KN026-CSP-001) application was approved by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the State Drug Administration
    .

    KN026-CSP-001 is a randomized, multicenter, phase II/III clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of KN026 combined with chemotherapy in patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer (including gastric-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma) who have failed first-line treatment , Professor Xu Jianming from the General Hospital of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army served as the principal investigator
    .

    Gastric cancer and adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction are one of the common malignant tumors.
    There are more than 1 million new cases of gastric cancer each year in the world.
    China is a country with a high incidence of gastric cancer, with about 410,000 new cases and 294,000 deaths each year.
    Death cases account for more than 40% of gastric cancer cases worldwide
    .

    The characteristics of gastric cancer in China are the low detection rate of early gastric cancer, the high proportion of advanced stage (greater than 80%), and the low 5-year survival rate (about 35.
    1%), which seriously threatens the lives and health of Chinese people
    .

    HER2 is overexpressed in many tumors, among which gastric cancer is about 15-20%.
    HER2 overexpression is related to tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis.
    With the development of targeted therapy, HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer is being treated with targeted drugs in combination Later, it achieved better curative effect than traditional chemotherapy
    .

     However, for patients with HER2-positive gastric cancer who have progressed or relapsed after first-line treatment in China, there is no effective drug targeting HER2, and there is a huge unmet clinical need
    .

    KN026 is a HER2 bispecific antibody independently developed by Corning Jereh.
    The Phase II study data released at the ASCO annual meeting in 2021 showed that KN026 has a good effect in the treatment of patients with advanced HER2-positive gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, regardless of whether the patient has been in the past or not.
    Received trastuzumab treatment: Among patients with high HER2 expression, the objective response rate (ORR) was 55.
    6%, the disease control rate (DCR) was 72.
    2%, and the 9-month progression-free survival rate was 60.
    4%; previously received trastoma The objective response rate (ORR) of the bead-treated patients was 44.
    4%, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 66.
    7%
    .

    The approval of the clinical trial application is a touchstone for the sincere cooperation between Corning Jereh and CSPC to accelerate the clinical development and commercialization of KN026 in mainland China.
    It is hoped that more excellent data can be seen through the progress of the research, which will serve the domestic urgent needs.
    Patients with advanced gastric cancer who need new treatment options bring hope
    .

    About KN026KN026 is a HER2 bispecific antibody developed by Corning Jereh using Fc heterodimer platform technology (CRIB) with independent intellectual property rights.
    It can bind two non-overlapping epitopes of HER2 at the same time, resulting in HER2 signal blockade, which is better than Qu Use tuuzumab or pertuzumab alone to achieve the combined effect of trastuzumab and pertuzumab, such as tumors that exhibit higher affinity and have superior efficacy in HER2-positive tumor cell lines Inhibition
    .

    At the same time, KN026 also has an inhibitory effect on HER2 low-expressing tumors and trastuzumab-resistant cell lines
    .

    KN026 has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and the U.
    S.
    Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2018, and is currently carrying out multiple phase I/II clinical trials in China, and at the same time advancing phase I clinical trials in the United States
    .

    Phase I clinical trial results showed that KN026 is well tolerated and safe, and still exhibits significant anti-tumor activity in HER2-positive breast cancer patients who have progressed after multi-line anti-HER2 treatment
    .

    In August 2021, Corning Jereh and Shanghai Jinmante Biotechnology Co.
    , Ltd.
    (hereinafter referred to as "Jinmante Bio"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSPC, signed a development and commercialization license agreement for KN026 in Mainland China
    .

    According to the terms of the agreement, Jinmante Bio will obtain the exclusive development and exclusive commercialization license rights for KN026 in mainland China (excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) for breast cancer and gastric cancer indications
