NMPA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for IBI363 in Melanoma
Dr. Hui Zhou, Senior Vice President of Innovent, said, “As Innovent’s first-in-class next-generation IO therapy, IBI363 simultaneously and selectively inhibits the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway and activates the IL-2 pathway. IBI363 has recently received multiple FTD and BTD designations, signifying regulatory recognition of its clinical value in addressing unmet medical needs. Non-cutaneous melanoma subtypes like mucosal melanoma—which are more prevalent in China—are particularly resistant to immunotherapy with limited clinical benefits[i]. We aim to validate IBI363’s potential in its first pivotal trial, through a head-to-head comparison with pembrolizumab, as a superior treatment option for melanoma patients over the current standard-of-care. We are also accelerating the global development of IBI363 across multiple tumor types, with the goal of extending the benefits of China’s innovation to patients worldwide.”
