Orelabrutinib The clinical trial of orelabrutinib in combination with ICP-248, a BCL2 inhibitor developed by InnoCare, for first-line treatment of CLL/SLL was initiated in May of this year, and patient enrollment of the Phase II trial has been completed as of this announcement . The Company is accelerating the registrational trials and NDA of the first line indications of orelabrutinib, including CLL/SLL, SCL and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Orelabrutinib continues to gain attention from top international academic conferences. Five studies of orelabrutnib were selected for the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024, with a prospective study of orelabrutinib regimen in treatment-naive MZL as an oral presentation at the conference. 10 studies on orelabrutinib have been selected for the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2024 Hybrid Congress. Tafasitamab The biologics license application (BLA) for tafasitamab in combination with lenalidomide for adult patients with r/r DLBCL who are not eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) was accepted and granted priority review in China in June 2024. DLBCL is the most common type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL), accounting for 31%~34% of NHL patients globally. In China, DLBCL accounts for 45.8% of all NHLs 2 . Tafasitamab regimen was approved by the Department of Health, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China, and approved for use in Bo’ao and Greater Bay Area with first prescription issued respectively. ICP-248 ICP-248 is a novel, orally bioavailable BCL2 selective inhibitor. The clinical trial of ICP-248 in combination with orelabrutinib for first line (1L) CLL/SLL was initiated, and patient enrollment for the Phase II trial has been completed. So far, 47 patients have been dosed, and among 28 evaluable patients with BTK inhibitor failure r/r MCL, the overall response rate (ORR) was 71.4% . The investigational new drug (IND) filing for ICP-248 for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) has been accepted by the CDE . ICP-490 Developed from InnoCare's molecular glue platform, ICP-490 shows strong potential to revolutionize the treatment of MM, NHL, and other hemato-oncology indications, whether as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies. The Phase I dose escalation study is ongoing in China with multiple myeloma (MM) and NHL patients , demonstrating a good tolerability and safety profile. This safety profile has supported the decision to continue dose escalation to the next dosage level. ICP-B02 (CM355) ICP-B02 is a CD20xCD3 bispecific antibody co-developed with Keymed. Data from both the intravenous infusion (IV) and the subcutaneous (SC) formulations have shown good efficacy of ICP-B02 in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) and DLBCL. All 15 patients who were treated with ICP-B02 at doses ≥6mg achieved response, resulting in an ORR of 100% . All patients who achieved CR maintained the remission as of the cutoff date. Based on the encouraging results of ICP-B02 as a single agent, the Company is planning for a dose expansion study of ICP-B02 in combination with other immunochemotherapies targeting earlier lines of treatment in NHL patients. The IND application for the combination therapies was approved in China in June 2024. ICP-B05 (CM369) ICP-B05 (CM369) is a potential first-in-class anti-CC chemokine receptor 8 (CCR8) monoclonal antibody, co-developed by InnoCare and Keymed as a monotherapy or in combination with other therapies for the treatment of various cancers. The Phase I trial is ongoing, aiming to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic characteristics, and efficacy of ICP-B05 in subjects with advanced solid tumors and r/r NHL. Preliminary efficacy was observed in NHL patient . ICP-B05 was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Advancing Research and Development in Solid Tumors InnoCare strives to expand the breadth of its pipeline to cover solid tumor diseases areas through a combination of targeted therapy and immune-oncology approaches. The Company believes that potential best-in-class molecule, zurletrectinib (ICP-723), will enable InnoCare to establish a solid footprint in the field of solid tumor treatment. To benefit a broader range of patients, InnoCare’s rapidly maturing early-stage pipeline, including the cornerstone therapy ICP-189 and ICP-B05 immune-oncology treatment, aims to offer competitive treatment solutions for a large array of solid tumors, both in China and worldwide. Zurletrectinib (ICP-723) The fusion mutation of NTRK gene is a carcinogenic factor for many cancers, including lung cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and melanoma . Zurletrectinib is a second generation TRK inhibitor developed by InnoCare. The Company is accelerating the registrational trial of zurletrectinib in China, which has entered the pre-NDA stage . Zurletrectinib has demonstrated good efficacy and safety profile. It was shown to overcome acquired resistance to the first generation TRK inhibitors, bringing hope for patients who failed prior TRKi therapy. The clinical study with zurletrectinib has covered neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusion adult patients, adolescent patients (12 to 18 years old) and pediatric patients (2 to 12 years old). The efficacy has been observed in both adolescent and pediatric patients. The dose escalation trial for pediatric patients has been completed. ICP-189 The novel SHP2 allosteric inhibitor, ICP-189, is being developed for the treatment of solid tumors as a single agent and/or in combination with other antitumor agents. The clinical trial of the combination of InnoCare’s lCP-189 with ArriVent’s third generation EGFR inhibitor furmonertinib in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is ongoing, with the preliminary efficacy observed. NSCLC is the predominant subtype of lung cancer, accounting for approximately 85% of all cases 3 . Preliminary efficacy was observed in ICP-189 monotherapy. As a potential first-in-class SHP2 inhibitor, ICP-189 is an ideal partner for combination with multiple targeted and immune-oncology therapies in solid tumors. ICP-189 has demonstrated significant anti-tumor effect in tumor models driven by KRAS G12C mutation and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) over-expression. The SHP2 combination therapy provides a promising treatment option for NSCLC patients who are resistant to the third generation EGFR inhibitors. As of this announcement, the study of the 120mg QD group has been completed, with no DLT observed, and it has shown a favorable PK profile with a long half-life. The patient enrollment at 160mg QD is ongoing. InnoCare is also actively exploring preclinical development in solid tumors, and developing small molecule and large molecule innovative drugs by building a differentiated platform for the treatment of solid tumors such as lung cancer and gastric cancer, so as to meet huge unmet medical needs. Comprehensive Coverage in Autoimmune Diseases Autoimmune diseases can affect almost every organ in the body and can occur at any age. The global market for autoimmune disease therapeutics anticipated to reach $185 billion by 2029 4 . The Company has fortified its powerful discovery engine focusing on global frontier targets for the development of differentiated autoimmune therapeutics through B-cell and T-cell pathways, aiming to offer first-in-class or best-in-class treatments to the massive unmet medical needs with promising market potential worldwide and/or regionally. Orelabrutinib ITP: The Company has achieved proof of concept (PoC) for orelabrutinib in the treatment of primary immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), and has completed enrollment of over 50% of patients in the Phase III registrational trial. The annual incidence rate of adult ITP is about 2-10 per 100,000 people 5 . Only about 70% of patients respond to first-line treatment. Orelabrutinib has potential to provide a better treatment option for ITP patients 6 . From blood tumor to autoimmune diseases in the hematological field, orelabrutinib will demonstrate its huge commercial potential. The ITP Phase II result was published by the American Journal of Hematology in April 2024. For details, please refer to https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.libproxy1.nus.edu.sg/doi/10.1002/ajh.27303 . SLE: The Phase IIa trial for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) demonstrated positive results, with remarkable SLE Responder Index (SRI)-4 response rates observed in a dose dependent manner, along with trends indicating a reduction in proteinuria levels. Orelabrutinib is global first and only BTK inhibitor ever shown efficacy in Phase II SLE trials. A Phase IIb trial is ongoing, and the patients enrollment has been nearly completed as of this announcement . SLE is a systemic disease that often leads to damage to organs, especially the kidneys and nervous system, skin, blood system, respiratory system, and almost all systems may be affected. According to Frost Sullivan analysis, it is expected that there will be 8.18 million SLE patients worldwide by 2025. The Chinese Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Development Report 2020 points out that there are about one million SLE patients in China, ranking first in the world in number of patients and second in incidence rate. ICP-332 ICP-332 is a novel tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor that is being developed for the treatment of various T-cell related autoimmune disorders, including atopic dermatitis (AD), vitiligo, inflammatory bowel disease, etc., with broad market prospects. The latest data of ICP-332 for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe AD has been released at the 2024 American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Annual Meeting as a late-breaking oral presentation. ICP-332 achieved multiple efficacy endpoints in the China Phase II study for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe AD, demonstrating an outstanding efficacy and safety profile. ICP-332 showed better efficacy profile across different classes/MoAs of therapies for the treatment of AD patients (not a head-to-head comparison). In the ICP-332 80 mg once-daily (QD) and 120 mg QD groups for four weeks, the response rates of EASI 90 (improvement of at least 90% in EASI score from baseline) and NRS (Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale) score from baseline ≥4 points demonstrated a 40% and 56% improvement respectively compared with the placebo group, both of which were superior to competitors. ICP-332 was safe and well tolerated in AD patients. The overall incidence rates of adverse events (AEs) in the two treatment groups were comparable to that of the placebo group. The Company expects to start the patient enrollment of the Phase III trial for AD in China in the fourth quarter of 2024, and to submit IND for the Phase II/III trial for a second indication of vitiligo. The US trials have been initiated . ICP-488 Data shows that 100 million people worldwide are affected by various types of psoriasis 7 . ICP-488 is a potent and selective TYK2 allosteric inhibitor that binds to the pseudo kinase JH2 domain of TYK2 and blocks IL-23, IL12, type 1 IFN, and other cytokine receptors. The Phase II study of ICP-488 in psoriasis has completed patient enrollment in May 2024. The Company expects the data readout by the end of 2024 . A total of 129 patients were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly assigned to two treatment groups and placebo group, for 12 consecutive weeks of treatment. ICP-488 demonstrated good efficacy and safety in the Phase I study of ICP-488 in psoriasis patients. Novel Small Molecule Inhibitor of IL-17 IL-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays an important role in immune functional responses. Orally administered small molecules targeting IL-17 may represent a convenient alternative to IL-17-targeting monoclonal antibodies for patients. This novel orally available small molecule can potently block the binding of both IL-17AA and IL-17AF to IL-17R. Dr. Jasmine Cui , the Co-founder, Chairwoman and CEO of InnoCare, said, "In the first half of 2024, our commercial team exceeded pre-set goals, with a significant increase in revenue.

BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Data of InnoCare's (HKEX: 09969; SSE: 688428) robust pipelines were presented at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2024 Hybrid Congress. 1. Subcutaneous ICP-B02 (CM355), a Novel Bispecific CD20/CD3 Antibody Showed Promising Efficacy and Favorable Safety Pro Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (Abstract No.: P2097) This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK)/ pharmacodynamics (PD) of ICP-B02 in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). At the doses evaluated, ICP-B02 subcutaneously (SC) demonstrated favorable safety pro promising efficacy in patients with R/R B-cell NHL. All Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) events were manageable with minimal intervention. Rapid and deep responses, as well as the convenience of SC formulation, support further clinical development for treatment of B cell NHL. Efficacy results showed that the overall response rate (ORR) was 100.0% with complete response rate (CRR) was 77.8%. 2. Preliminary Safety and Efficacy Data from Patients with Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Malignancies Treated with ICP-248, a Novel BCL2 Inhibitor (Abstract No.: P1851) This study aimed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of ICP-248 in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. Preliminary results of ICP-248 monotherapy suggest well tolerated safety pro promising efficacy with dose-dependent effect in relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies. The ORR was 100% at 100 mg dose level, with three patients achieved complete response. Further assessment of safety and efficacy with additional dose levels and dosing strategies will be pursued in expanded patient population and in the combination with Orelabrutinib. 3. A Phase II, Single-Arm, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Tafasitamab Combined with Lenalidomide in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (Abstract No.: P2091) Relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) remains a high unmet medical need, especially in patients who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT). The study demonstrates that tafasitamab plus lenalidomide regimen is well tolerated in Chinese population with good efficacy, and the efficacy and safety data are consistent with the L-MIND study. As of the data by Jan. 29, 2024, the ORR assessed by IRC was 73.1%, with 32.7% of patients achieving CR and 40.4% of patients with partial response (PR). The ORR assessed by investigators was 69.2%, with 34.6% of patients reaching CR and 34.6% of patients achieved PR. 4. Orelabrutinib-Lenalidomide-Rituximab in Patients with Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL): Updated Results of the Multicenter, Phase II Polaris Study (Abstract No.: P1141) This study aimed to explore whether orelabrutinib combined with rituximab plus lenalidomide would exhibit synergistic antitumor activity in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and improve the depth and durability of response. The data confirmed the potent antitumor activity and manageable safety of the orelabrutinib-lenalidomide-rituximab regimen in patients with untreated MCL. Detection of peripheral blood (PB) ctDNA detection based on NGS could contribute to predicting prognosis. Of response-evaluable patients who had completed 6 cycles of induction therapy, 67.9% achieved CR and 17.9% achieved PR, with an ORR of 85.8%. Median duration of response (DOR) and median progress-free survival (PFS) were not reached. 5. Orient Study: Orelabrutinib Addition to R-Chop-Like Regimen Adapted to Response in Treatment-Naïve Non-GCB DLBCL (Abstract No.: P1167) This is a multicenter, open-label phase II study, aiming to assess efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib plus R-CHOP-like regimen for untreated non-GCB DLBCL patients who respond to induction therapy of orelabrutinib plus rituximab. Primary endpoint was complete remission rate (CRR) after 6-cycle orelabrutinib plus R-Chop-like regimen. All the patients who completed 6-cycle therapy attained CR at the end of cycle 6. Although preliminary, responders to orelabrutinib plus rituximab induction may further benefit from subsequent orelabrutinib plus R-Chop-like regimen, achieving high CRR and sustaining CR throughout post-therapy follow-up; no unexpected safety issue occurred. 6. The Primary Results of R-MTO Regimen (Rituximab, Methotrexate, Thiotepa, and Orelabrutinib) as the First-Line Induction Therapy in Newly Diagnosed Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (Abstract No.: P1193) This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of rituximab, methotrexate, thiotepa, and orelabrutinib regimen followed by autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in treatment of the patients with PCNSL. The rituximab, methotrexate, thiotepa, and orelabrutinib regimen induction treatment has demonstrated notable efficacy in achieving higher response rates among patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL, and a tolerable safety profile. 7. Orelabrutinib in Patients with Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (INHL) Intolerant to Prior Bruton Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (BTKI): Preliminary Results from a Phase 2 Study (Abstract No.: P2074) This study aimed to assess the safety and activity of orelabrutinib in prior BTKi-intolerant iNHL. Orelabrutinib improved outcomes of prior BTKi-intolerant AEs, particularly the off-target toxicities (cardiac/infectious AEs). The preliminary result of this study showed promising efficacy and safety data of orelabrutinib in prior BTKi-intolerant iNHL patients. 8. Orelabrutinib, Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, and Obinutuzumab (OFCG) for First-Line Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: A Multicenter, Investigator-Initiated Study (CWCLL-001 Study) (Abstract No.: P680) This study was initiated to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib plus fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and obinutuzumab in younger, fit patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL without restriction by del(17p)/TP53 aberrations and/or IGHV mutation status. The regimen leads to a rapid and deep molecular remission with a manageable safety pro previously untreated CLL patients including those with unfavorable characteristics. 9. Different Subtype of DLBCL Patients Treated with R-Chop (Like) Plus Orelabrutinib Regimen: A Real-World Study (Abstract No.: PB3034) This retrospective study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of R-CHOP-like regimen combined with orelabrutinib in patients with different subtypes of DLBCL. The study demonstrated that patients with double-expression and extranodal involvement benefit from orelabrutinib and that earlier addition of orelabrutinib results in a higher proportion of complete remissions, and more detailed analyses comparing the benefits in different types of patients are underway.
