The latest update is out from Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd. Class H ( (HK:1877) ).

Shanghai Junshi Biosciences has received approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration for a supplemental new drug application expanding toripalimab’s use, in combination with RemeGen’s antibody-drug conjugate disitamab vedotin, as a first-line treatment for HER2-expressing locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. This marks the 13th approved indication for toripalimab in mainland China and strengthens its position as a leading domestic PD-1 therapy with broad reimbursement and international reach.

The new indication is supported by phase III trial data showing toripalimab plus disitamab vedotin significantly improved progression-free survival, overall survival, response rates and safety versus standard chemotherapy in treatment-naive HER2-expressing urothelial carcinoma patients. The approval addresses a major unmet need in a cancer with rising incidence and mortality in China, enhances Junshi’s competitive standing in immuno-oncology, and may drive wider clinical adoption and market uptake of toripalimab-based combinations in both domestic and global markets.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1877) stock is a Hold with a HK$34.70 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd. Class H stock, see the HK:1877 Stock Forecast page.
