Sino Biopharm Advances First-in-Class CCR8 Antibody Into Phase III Gastric Cancer Trial

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Sino Biopharmaceutical ( (HK:1177) ) has shared an update.

Sino Biopharmaceutical announced that its subsidiary LaNova Medicines has enrolled the first patient in a Phase III registrational clinical trial of cafelkibart (LM-108), a CCR8 monoclonal antibody, as a second-line treatment for CCR8-positive locally advanced or metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor. This is the second pivotal registrational trial for LM-108, which has already received two Breakthrough Therapy Designations in China and is being positioned as a potential global first-in-class CCR8-targeted therapy.

Earlier Phase I/II data showed that LM-108 combined with toripalimab produced notable improvements in response rates, disease control and survival versus current paclitaxel-based standards, particularly in patients with higher CCR8 expression. By selectively eliminating immunosuppressive regulatory T cells in the tumor microenvironment and potentially overcoming resistance to existing immunotherapies, the program could significantly enhance Sino Biopharmaceutical’s standing in oncology and offer a novel treatment paradigm for second-line advanced gastric cancer and other MSI-H/dMMR solid tumors.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1177) stock is a Buy with a HK$8.70 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sino Biopharmaceutical stock, see the HK:1177 Stock Forecast page.
