CK Life Sciences International (Holdings), Inc. ( (HK:0775) ) has issued an update.

CK Life Sciences has reported a positive interim clinical update from its majority-owned subsidiary Dogwood Therapeutics, which is running a Phase 2b trial of Halneuron® for chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CINP). An independent statistical review of data from 97 treated patients indicated that Halneuron® is showing a separation from placebo in pain improvement over a four-week period, with the patient group characterized by long-standing CINP and widespread concurrent use of other chronic pain medications. Dogwood also highlighted a notably low dropout rate of about 4.4%, which appears favourable compared with existing FDA-approved chronic pain drugs and supports Halneuron®’s safety and tolerability profile seen in earlier trials. Top-line Phase 2b results are expected in the third quarter of 2026, and while this could strengthen CK Life Sciences’ position in neuropathic pain therapeutics if confirmed and ultimately approved, the company cautions that Halneuron® remains at the mid-stage clinical trial phase with outcomes still subject to further regulatory review and uncertainty for shareholders and potential investors.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0775) stock is a Hold with a HK$1.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on CK Life Sciences International (Holdings), Inc. stock, see the HK:0775 Stock Forecast page.
