Henlius HLX22 Received IND Application Acceptance Notification from NMPA

2018-11-26

Henlius has recently received an investigational new drug (IND) application acceptance notification from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for its HLX22, a monoclonal antibody injection, for the treatment of gastric cancer (GC) and breast cancer (BC).


HLX22 is a humanized lgG1 monoclonal antibody injection targeting human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Henlius introduced HLX22 from AbClon, Inc. (AbClon) and researched and developed it independently as follows. Since 2016, Henlius successively signed license agreement and amendment agreement with AbClon, being granted exclusive rights to develop and commercialize HLX22 globally.


With the good performance in pre-clinical stage, HLX22 is expected not only to be used as mono-therapy in the treatment of GC and BC, but also in combination with HLX02 (a trastuzumab biosimilar developed by Henlius), making it a potentially first-in-class combination therapy in GC in the world. Looking forward, Henlius will continue to promote the implementation of the globalization strategy to achieve the vision of providing all patients with high-quality and affordable protein therapeutics.
