Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. Class H ( (HK:2696) ) has shared an update.

Shanghai Henlius Biotech has initiated a first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial in mainland China for HLX37, a recombinant humanised bispecific antibody that simultaneously targets PD-L1 and VEGF, in patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumours. The open-label trial will assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy across monotherapy and combination-therapy arms, seeking to determine the maximum tolerated dose and a recommended phase 2 dose, while also exploring biomarkers and key efficacy measures such as response rates and survival outcomes. HLX37 is designed to combine immune checkpoint blockade with anti-angiogenesis in a single molecule, potentially delivering synergistic antitumour effects and reducing resistance compared with separate PD-L1 and VEGF agents, positioning Henlius to compete in the nascent but promising global market for PD-1/PD-L1 and VEGF bispecific antibodies, where the first product was only approved in 2024 and sales remain at an early stage.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:2696) stock is a Hold with a HK$74.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. Class H stock, see the HK:2696 Stock Forecast page.
