CHMP Positive Opinion for Sugemalimab in Stage III NSCLC
Dr. Jason Yang, CEO, President of R&D, and Executive Director at CStone, remarked, “We are encouraged that the EMA review for our Stage III NSCLC indication has progressed so rapidly and positively. Coming just one year after sugemalimab’s first approval in Europe for first-line metastatic squamous and non-squamous NSCLC in 2024, this marks the second positive opinion and recommendation from CHMP. If approved, sugemalimab’s role as a core immunotherapy for lung cancer will be further solidified, significantly enhancing its market presence and commercial potential. We will work closely with our partners to expedite the full commercialization of sugemalimab across European markets, making this high-quality and accessible treatment option available to more patients.”
