Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Class H ( (HK:6990) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Sichuan Kelun-Biotech said China’s drug regulator has accepted a new indication application for its core TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab tirumotecan, in combination with pembrolizumab, as a first-line therapy for certain PD-L1-positive, EGFR- and ALK-negative locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients. The filing, supported by the positive Phase 3 OptiTROP-Lung05 trial, has entered priority review, marking the fifth sac-TMT indication under accelerated assessment and potentially shortening time to approval while reinforcing the drug’s position in frontline NSCLC treatment.

The OptiTROP-Lung05 study showed sac-TMT plus pembrolizumab achieved a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in progression-free survival versus pembrolizumab alone, with a positive trend in overall survival, making it the first Phase 3 immunotherapy–ADC combination to meet its primary endpoint in first-line NSCLC. Sac-TMT already has four approved indications in China and has been out-licensed to MSD for markets outside Greater China, underscoring its rising strategic value and expanding commercial footprint in the global oncology landscape.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:6990) stock is a Buy with a HK$526.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Class H stock, see the HK:6990 Stock Forecast page.
