Guangzhou Gloria Biosciences, a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the discovery, development, and commercialization of biologics in immuno-oncology, has announced that its fully human anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, Zimberelimab injection (YuTuo®, GLS-010), has received marketing approval from the China National Medical Products Administration. It has been approved as a monotherapy for the treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have positive PD-L1 expression and have experienced disease progression after platinum-based chemotherapy.

Zimberelimab, a fully human antibody developed using the transgenic rat platform OmniRat®, has been approved by the NMPA as the first and only immune checkpoint inhibitor antibody for cervical cancer in China, and the third globally. This next-generation antibody has shown high affinity, selectivity, and potency across various tumor types, with a favorable safety profile. 

Zimberelimab was designated as a Breakthrough Therapy for cervical cancer by China's Center of Drug Evaluation in March 2021. It has also been included and recommended in the CSCO "Guidelines for Lymphoma Treatment" for four consecutive years (2020-2023).

The approval of Zimberelimab by the NMPA was based on positive results from a pivotal Phase 2 clinical trial, titled "Efficacy and Safety of Zimberelimab Monotherapy in Patients with Recurrent or Metastatic Cervical Cancer: A Multicenter, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase II Study". These results were presented at various medical conferences, including the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer, the European Society for Medical Oncology IO, and ESMO Asia in 2022.

Prof. Wu commented on the significance of this approval, highlighting that China has the second largest patient population of cervical cancer globally, with higher incidence and mortality rates compared to developed countries. 

Currently, there are limited treatment options for patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have failed first-line platinum-based therapy. Conventional chemotherapy has shown poor efficacy and severe side effects, resulting in low overall response rates (less than 10%) and median overall survival of 5 to 9 months. This underscores the unmet medical need for new therapies to improve clinical outcomes.

Prof. Wu emphasized that the approval of Zimberelimab for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer represents a significant advancement in the fight against this disease in China. Zimberelimab has demonstrated potentially the best-in-class clinical results, achieving the highest overall response rate (ORR) among other immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies as a monotherapy in recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer. This provides patients with a better treatment option, offering improved survival benefits and safety compared to conventional chemotherapy
