China NMPA approves Cadonilimab for First-Line Treatment of Gastric/GEJ Cancer in All-Comers Population
Dr. Xia Yu, Founder, Chairwoman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Akeso Biopharma, stated, “We thank all researchers, participants, and patients involved in this clinical study. Their collective efforts have led to the approval of cadonilimab combination therapy for first-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer, introducing a novel bispecific immune therapy combined with chemotherapy. As immunotherapy evolves, global regulators and the medical community are reassessing the real-world benefits of PD-1 therapies across different PD-L1 expression levels in gastric and esophageal cancers. Cadonilimab, a novel bispecific antibody targeting both PD-1 and CTLA-4, is supported by robust evidence demonstrating significant clinical benefits for the entire gastric cancer population. Differentiating from PD-1 monoclonal antibody combinations, cadonilimab also shows substantial advantages for patients with low or negative PD-L1 expression. Akeso will continue to explore the global clinical value of cadonilimab.”
