Abbisko Cayman Limited ( (HK:2256) ) has provided an update.

Abbisko Therapeutics has dosed the first U.S. patient in the expansion phase of a global Phase I trial of irpagratinib, its highly selective oral FGFR4 inhibitor for patients with FGF19-overexpressing advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. The drug has received both Fast Track designation from the U.S. FDA and Breakthrough Therapy designation in China, reflecting regulators’ recognition of its potential to address a high unmet need.

Early data from the China cohort show durable antitumor activity and a favorable safety profile, with particularly strong responses in patients previously treated with immune checkpoint and multi-targeted kinase inhibitors. Combination Phase II data with atezolizumab also indicate robust efficacy and manageable safety, positioning irpagratinib as a promising candidate in first-line HCC treatment and underscoring Abbisko’s push to accelerate global development and commercialization.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:2256) stock is a Hold with a HK$13.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Abbisko Cayman Limited stock, see the HK:2256 Stock Forecast page.
