Suzhou, December 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Corning Jerry Biopharmaceuticals (stock code: 9966.HK) announced that the application for a phase I/II clinical study (study number: JSKN033-102) of the HER2 bispecific antibody-conjugate drug (ADC) and JSKN033, a high-concentration subcutaneous combination preparation with PD-L1 inhibitors, has been approved by the National Drug Administration (NMPA) Drug Evaluation Center (CDE). This study is a pilot project to optimize the review and approval of clinical trials of innovative drugs.
JSKN033-102 is an open, multicenter, phase I/II clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, and antitumor activity of JSKN033 in patients with advanced metastatic malignancies, and to determine the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) and/or recommended phase II dose (RP2D).
JSKN033 is the world's first high-concentration combination of ADC and PD-L1 inhibitor developed independently by Corning Jerry. Using the advantages of the world's first subcutaneous PD-L1 inhibitor, Envolimab (R&D code: KN035, product name: Envida), has good stability and high solubility, and combines immunotherapy (KN035) with ADC (JSKN003) by optimizing the administration route. The first human phase I/II clinical study (JSKN033-101, NCT06226766) conducted in Australia showed that JSKN033 was safe and had encouraging anti-tumor activity in patients with solid tumors whose disease progressed after multiple lines of treatment. Detailed study data were presented at the 2024 Society for Cancer Immunotherapy (SITC) Annual Meeting.
As morbidity and mortality rates rise year by year, malignant tumors have become the leading cause of death globally and in China. According to relevant research statistics, there were 19.3 million new cases worldwide in 2020, and nearly 10 million people died of malignant tumors. The incidence of breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and stomach cancer ranked in the top 5 among all tumor types. Despite significant advances in immunotherapy and molecular targeted therapies in recent years, clinicians' and patients' demand for innovative drugs and new treatments continues to rise. For a long time, Corning Jerry has always focused on unmet clinical needs and is committed to developing differentiated, clinically valuable and internationally competitive new drugs to help cancer patients live longer and improve their quality of life.
About JSKN033
JSKN033 is the world's first high-concentration subcutaneous combination of an antibody-conjugate drug and an immune checkpoint inhibitor independently developed by Corning Jerry. It consists of JSKN003 and envolimab (KN035). Among them, JSKN003 is a HER2 bispecific antibody conjugate drug (ADC), containing three parts: a bispecific antibody with two non-overlapping epitopes of the HER2 extracellular domain, a cleavable ligator, and a topoisomerase I inhibitor; Envolimab is an Fc fusion protein composed of a humanized PD-L1 single-domain antibody and a human IgG1 Fc fragment. It was approved for marketing in China in November 2021 (trade name: Envida), and is the world's first subcutaneous PD- (L) L1 inhibitor. JSKN033 combines immunotherapy with ADC to greatly enhance efficacy. Taking advantage of the advantages of good stability and high solubility of envolimab, ADC can be administered subcutaneously, improving safety and convenience. Currently, JSKN033 is conducting phase I/II clinical studies in Australia to treat advanced HER2 expression or metastatic solid tumors.
