August 26, 2019,Shanghai - HaiHe Biopharma, a biopharmaceutical company focusing on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative anti-tumor drugs, announced that it has reached a clinical cooperation with Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Junshi Biosciences") to jointly explore the safety, tolerance and efficacy of the combination of Glumetinib, a highly selective c-Met inhibitor developed by HaiHe Biopharma, and Toripalimab, anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody developed by Junshi Biosciences in the treatment of multiple solid tumors. This is another in-depth cooperation between the two sides following the combination of Lucitanib, Simmitecan and Toripalimab.
Glumetinib (SCC244) is an oral, potent and highly selective small molecule MET inhibitor. Glumetinib has excellent pharmacokinetic characteristics with long half-life and high steady-state trough concentration in human body, which is conducive to the continuous inhibition of the target. Glumetinib has shown robust efficacy and favorable safety profile in GLORY study in NSCLC patients with MET alterations. Haihe Biopharma owns the independent global intellectual property rights of Glumetinib.
In March 2018, the New Drug Application (“NDA”) for JS001, a recombinant humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for injection, was accepted by the NMPA. On 17 December 2018, Junshi Biosciences’ anti-PD-1 therapy toripalimab was conditionally granted marketing approval for use in the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma that has failed previous systemic therapy by the NMPA, which is the first commercialized product of Junshi Biosciences. In the pivotal clinical trial, patients were observed with the ORR of 17.3% and the DCR of 57.5%, and the one-year overall survival rate is 69.3%. The NDA approval of toripalimab witnessed the pivotal step from pre-revenue biotech start-up to a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company.
