This is a Phase II clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Utidelone, a genetically engineered epothilone derivative, combined with Toripalimab, a PD-1 inhibitor, in patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer who have progressed after standard treatments. The study will also assess the safety profile of this combination therapy. The primary objectives of this study include: (1) to determine the objective response rate (ORR), meaning whether the treatment can reduce the size of tumors or make them disappear, according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria; (2) to evaluate the safety of the treatment and document the side effects experienced by participants. This study is for individuals who: (1) are between 18 and 75 years old; (2) have a confirmed diagnosis of recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer; (3) have previously received at least one standard chemotherapy regimen that is no longer controlling the cancer; (4) are in generally good health, as determined by the study investigators. In this single-arm study, all participants will receive the same treatment: Utidelone will be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion over 1.5 hours, once a day for 5 consecutive days, in each 21-day treatment cycle; Toripalimab will be administered by IV infusion over 1.5 hours, once on Day 6 of each 21-day cycle. Participants may continue receiving the study drugs as long as they are benefiting from the treatment and side effects are manageable. Doctors will assess tumor size using imaging scans (like CT or MRI) every 6 weeks to monitor how the cancer responds to treatment. The study will take place at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and plans to include approximately 32 participants.

Nanoparticle and epothilone D combinatorial intervention improves motor performance and regeneration in chronic cervical spinal cord injury

Article

Author: Ross, Brian C ; Schwartz, Samantha R ; Hocevar, Sarah E ; Cummings, Brian J ; Smiley, Brooke M ; Shea, Lonnie D ; Anderson, Aileen J

Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes the loss of motor function below the site of injury due to neuron loss and the severing of spinal tracts. The injury leads to the recruitment of circulating myeloid cells that create an inflammatory microenvironment and exacerbate cell death, with subsequent migration of fibroblasts and astrocytes that contribute to scar tissue that inhibits regeneration. Herein, we investigated a combinatorial treatment in a chronic cervical hemisection model involving cargo-less nanoparticles (NPs) administered acutely, and a multichannel bridge and microtubule stabilizer delivered chronically. NPs administration acutely for one-week post-injury contributed to improved paw placement on a ladder beam relative to vehicle control. Four weeks after injury, damaged tissue was resected, and a microporous, multichannel PLG bridge was inserted to reduce scar tissue and provide a substrate for axon regrowth. Epothilone D (epoD), a microtubule stabilizer, was also administered to further decrease fibrotic scar formation and improve axon elongation. Mice receiving a scaffold with NP treatment or epoD treatment had improved motor performance, but the combination of NP and epoD maximally improved function. In conjunction with this improved performance, mice that received NPs or epoD exhibited increased neuromuscular junction innervation, robust axon growth into the bridge, and both oligodendrocyte and Schwann-cell myelination of regenerating axons. Collectively, these results suggest that a combinatorial treatment plan targeting inflammation and scarring, a substrate for growth, and growth-promoting factors can improve motor performance following SCI.

Article

Author: Mu, X Q ; Wu, H B ; Yu, C N ; Hu, X F ; Zhao, Y Q

Objective: To investigate the effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of Utidelone (UTD1) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods: The study utilized small cell lung cancer H446 and H1048 cell lines along with animal models. Cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, autophagy, and related activities following UTD1 treatment were assessed using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation assay, and Western blot analysis. The involvement of the ROS/adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway was also examined. Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism version 8 software. Results: UTD1 inhibited the viability of H446 and H1048 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The half inhibitory concentrations (IC₅₀) of UTD1 for H446 and H1048 cells were 0.675 and 0.439 μg/ml, respectively. The proportion of cells in the G₂/M phase for H446 and H1048 cells in the UTD1 group at 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h was [(53.86±4.54)%, (68.59±5.49)%, (60.89±3.26)%] and [(46.83±2.20)%, (60.67±3.44)%, (57.88±5.11)%], which were significantly higher than that in the control group, except for the proportion of H1048 cells at 6 h [(38.99±2.60)% vs. (40.73±2.50)%, P＜0.05]. The apoptosis rates were [(23.57±0.12)%, (35.79±1.59)%, and (46.15±4.57)%] for H446 cells and [(23.05±2.70)%, (37.73±2.97)%, and (43.39±3.31)% for H1048 cells], all of which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(6.44±0.96)%, (6.31±0.75)%, respectively; all P＜0.05]. The number of LC3 fluorescent spots was [(56±11), (69±8), and (66±8)] for H446 cells and [(39±7), (56±12), and (50±11)] for H1048 cells, both significantly higher than those in the control group [(13±6) and (12±5), respectively; both P＜0.05]. The relative fluorescence intensity of ROS was 2.54±0.48, 2.85±0.68, and 5.03±0.72 for H446 cells and 2.26±0.51, 4.17±0.35, and 4.66±0.51 for H1048 cells, which were also significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05). The expression levels of cyclin B1, cyclin A2, and P21 of H446 cells in the three time points were [(0.63±0.07, 0.33±0.05, 0.23±0.04), (0.68±0.08, 0.46±0.03, 0.27±0.06), and (0.64±0.03, 0.32±0.05, 0.22±0.03), respectively], all significantly lower compared to the control group (P＜0.05). The apoptosis rates of H446 and H1048 cells in the UTD1+Z-VAD-FMK group were (19.97±3.19)% and (17.68±3.14)%, both lower than those in the UTD1 group [(40.73±3.35)% and (39.82±2.45)%, respectively; all P＜0.05]. The absorbance values of H446 and H1048 cells in the UTD1+3-MA group were significantly higher than those in the UTD1 group at 6h, 12h, and 24h (all P＜0.05). The levels of p-AMPKα/AMPKα, LC3-II expression, and the percentage of apoptotic cells in the H446 and H1048 cells of the UTD1+NAC group were [(1.33±0.09, 1.33±0.11), (1.49±0.16, 1.55±0.05), (17.24±2.15)%, and (19.40±4.28)%], all of which were lower than those observed in the UTD1 group [(1.98±0.17, 2.23±0.23), (2.81±0.19, 2.49±0.38), (38.07±3.53)%, and (41.20±1.87)%, all P＜0.05]. The number of LC3 fluorescence points and the percentage of apoptotic cells in the H446 and H1048 cells of the UTD1+si-AMPKα group [(24±5, 23±3), (18.35±1.15)%, and (19.15±3.46)%] were all lower than those in the UTD1+si-NC group [(46±6, 36±6), (39.34±1.77)%, and (39.50±2.15)%, all P＜0.05]. The tumor inhibition rates in small cell lung cancer tumor-bearing nude mice for the 2.5 mg/kg UTD1 group and the 5 mg/kg UTD1 group were 46.43% and 58.33%, respectively. Furthermore, the proportions of apoptosis-positive cells and p-AMPKα-positive cells in the UTD1 group were significantly higher compared to the control group, while the levels of Ki-67 positivity were significantly reduced. Conclusion: UTD1 inhibits SCLC cell proliferation, induces G₂/M phase arrest, and promotes cell apoptosis and autophagy through the activation of the ROS/AMPK signaling pathway.

Efficacy and safety of utidelone in pretreated patients with metastatic breast cancer in China: a multicenter, real-world study

Article

Author: Zhao, Yannan ; Ouyang, Quchang ; Gong, Chengcheng ; Xu, Fei ; Xie, Ning ; Hu, Shihui ; Wang, Hong ; Wang, Biyun ; Chao, Tengfei

Background::

Utidelone (UTD1), a genetically engineered epothilone derivative, has been approved in China for use in combination with capecitabine in treating metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients previously treated with anthracyclines or taxanes.

Objectives::

To evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of UTD1 in Chinese patients with MBC and to explore potential predictors of therapeutic effectiveness.

Design::

A multicenter, retrospective, real-world study.

Methods::

MBC patients who received UTD1 between March 2021 and August 2023 were identified using an electronic database. Outcome variables included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), time to treatment failure (TTF), objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), and adverse events (AEs).

Results::

A total of 270 MBC patients were included, with 81.1% presenting with visceral metastasis and 23.7% with brain metastasis. The median number of treatment lines for UTD1 was 3. UTD1 showed a median PFS of 3.97 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.33–4.61) and a median OS of 20.63 months (95% CI 16.72–24.54). Among the patients, 17.4% received UTD1 monotherapy, and 82.6% received UTD1-based combination therapy. The median TTF was 2.80 months (95% CI 2.31–3.29). The ORR was 8.4%, and the CBR was 33.5%. The most common AE was peripheral neuropathy (PN, 55.2%). Patients with unresolved PN from previous therapy or receiving UTD1 through intravenous infusion on days 1–5 were more likely to develop ⩾grade 3 PN.

Conclusion::

UTD1 is a new option for patients who have previously received taxanes and anthracyclines, with its clinical toxicity controllable.

Breaking the "Untreatable": Biostar Pharma's UTD1 Achieves First Patient Dosing in U.S. for Pivotal Clinical Trial for Breast Cancer Brain Metastases

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Biostar Pharma, Inc., the U.S. wholly-owned subsidiary of Beijing Biostar Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 2563.HK), today announced that the first patient has been dosed for one of its key oversea clinical studies: the U.S. pivotal clinical study (NCT06764940) of Utidelone Injection(UTD1) combined with capecitabine for the treatment of HER2-negative breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM). The study adopts a two-stage design and plans to enroll approximately 120 subjects. The primary endpoint is the central nervous system objective response rate (CNS-ORR). Nearly 20 top tier clinical institutes across the United States are participating in the trial, including MD Anderson Cancer Center, John Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, City of Hope-Duarte, Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center at Northwestern University, University of Colorado Hospital, Augusta University, and University of California Los Angeles. Utidelone's unique physicochemical properties and insensitivity to P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux enable it to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and prevent or treat brain metastases of solid tumors, setting it apart from taxanes, which are also microtubule stabilizers. A Phase II clinical study of utidelone combined with bevacizumab and chemotherapy for HER2-negative BCBM, which enrolled 34 subjects, was presented orally at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting [1]. The results showed a CNS-ORR of 67.6%, a central nervous system clinical benefit rate (CNS-CBR) of 88.2%, and a median central nervous system progression-free survival (CNS-PFS) of 15 months. The results of another Phase II clinical study of utidelone combined with bevacizumab for HER2-negative BCBM were published in JAMA Oncology in 2025 [2]. 47 subjects were recruited in the study, with a CNS-ORR of 42.6%, a median CNS-PFS of 10.6 months, and a median overall survival of 15.1 months. In both studies, most treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were Grade 1-2, controllable, and reversible. The U.S. FDA has also granted Utidelone orphan drug designation for the treatment of breast cancer brain metastases. Approximately 20-50% of advanced breast cancer patients develop brain metastases [3]. Due to the presence of the BBB, many breast cancer treatments were unable to achieve effective concentrations intracranially, leading to generally poor prognoses for BCBM patients, particularly those with HER2-negative BCBM, whose median progression-free survival is only 2-6 months. However, there is currently no clearly effective drug therapy for HER2-negative BCBM, and no drugs worldwide have been approved for this indication, highlighting a significant and urgent unmet medical need. Utidelone has the potential to change this landscape, offering a new treatment option and hope for survival to these patients.

Biostar Pharma Successively Achieved First Patient Dosing for Two Phase II/III Multiregional Clinical Trials of Utidelone Capsule (UTD2)

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Biostar Pharma, Inc., the US subsidiary of Beijing Biostar Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. ("Biostar", Stock Code: 2563.HK) which is a synthetic biology driven biopharma company focusing on the discovery, development and commercialization of innovative oncology drugs, is pleased to announce that the first patients have been dosed for two phase II/III multiregional clinical trials (MRCT) of "Utidelone Capsule (UTD2) first-line treatment for locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma" (NCT06841679) and "UTD2 treatment for platinum-resistant advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer" (NCT07044349) on September 11, 2025 and September 12, 2025, respectively. Utidelone has demonstrated excellent clinical data in gastric cancer: in a completed Phase II study of Utidelone Injection (UTD1) combined with PD-1 inhibitor and oxaliplatin for the first-line treatment of unresectable locally advanced or recurrent/metastatic HER2-negative gastric cancer, 23 patients had completed efficacy evaluation. Among them, 15 achieved partial response (PR) and 8 achieved stable disease (SD), resulting in a 65.2% objective response rate (ORR) and 100% clinical benefit rate (CBR). The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 6.1 months. The combination regimen was generally well-tolerated. Most treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were Grade 1-2, reversible, and manageable. The longest treatment duration received by a patient was 22 cycles [1]. Consequently, Utidelone was granted an Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. Besides gastric cancer, Utidelone has also shown considerable potential for treating ovarian cancer in previous clinical studies. A US Phase I clinical study of UTD2 as a monotherapy for advanced solid tumors had 12 evaluable patients, including one ovarian cancer patient with a complete response (CR) and another with PR, who had previously undergone 7 and 9 lines of therapy, respectively [2]. A Phase II clinical study of UTD1 as monotherapy for the treatment of advanced solid tumors had 10 evaluable patients in advanced ovarian cancer cohort, among them there were 1 PR and 3 SD. Compared to taxanes, which are difficult for oral formulation development, Utidelone is not susceptible to P-glycoprotein thus cannot be pumped out of the cancer cell by P-glycoprotein and has the advantage for higher oral bioavailability and lower risk of developing cross-resistance. By utilizing its technology platform, Biostar developed Utidelone Capsule, and its efficacy and safety have been confirmed in both US and China's studies. Utidelone Capsule will significantly improve the convenience of administration, compliance of patients, decrease in treatment cost and ease of combination therapy with other oral anti-cancer drugs, and more suitable for adjuvant or maintenance therapy. Beyond gastric and ovarian cancers, Biostar is actively planning and advancing multiple clinical studies to expand UTD2's indications, including breast cancer adjuvant intensification therapy, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, and so on. About NCT06841679 Study This study is a multi-national, open-label, randomized phase II/III clinical study of UTD2 combined with standard of care to evaluate the efficacy and safety in first-line patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, untreated with systemic treatment in the advanced setting. For the Phase II part, 78 subjects are planned to be enrolled in China, US, Europe and Japan. Its primary objectives are to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic profile of UTD2 in combination therapy. The Phase III part plans to enroll 700 subjects across multiple countries/regions. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS), with secondary endpoints including PFS, ORR, and safety. About NCT07044349 Study This study is a multi-national, open-label, randomized Phase II/III clinical trial of UTD2 for the treatment of patients with platinum-resistant advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. The Phase II part plans to enroll approximately 84 subjects. Its primary objective is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of UTD2 under different dosing regimens in the target patient population and to recommend a dose for Phase III. The Phase III part plans to enroll 480 subjects and is planned to be conducted in multiple countries and regions worldwide. Its primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of UTD2 compared to the investigator's choice of standard treatment in the target patient population. The primary endpoint is PFS, with secondary endpoints including OS, ORR, and others. About Utidelone Utidelone is a new-generation genetically engineered microtubule inhibitor, and has similar mechanism of action with that of taxanes while demonstrating multiple advantages, including better anti-tumor activity, broader anti-tumor spectrum, better safety profile with very low hematologic toxicity, effective against multidrug-resistant tumors, less prone to developing drug resistance, capability of crossing the blood-brain barrier to prevent and treat brain tumors, and high oral bioavailability. Biostar has developed two formulations of Utidelone: injection (UTD1) and capsule (UTD2). UTD1 has been launched in China in 2021 for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC), who have progressed after at least one anthracycline- or taxane-containing chemotherapy regimen. The phase III study data showed that UTD1 plus capecitabine achieved both PFS and OS benefits versus capecitabine for heavily pretreated MBC patients, and the results were orally presented twice at ASCO annual meetings and published in prestigious journals [3-4].

TEPMETKO Continues to Strengthens its Position as a Leading METex14 Skipping NSCLC Therapy | DelveInsight

With increasing biomarker-driven cancer treatments, TEPMETKO benefits from growing adoption in precision oncology. Competition from other MET inhibitors like TABRECTA (capmatinib) exists, but TEPMETKO's once-daily dosing and efficacy profile offer differentiation. LAS VEGAS, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DelveInsight's " TEPMETKO Market Size, Forecast, and Market Insight Report" highlights the details around TEPMETKO, a kinase inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations. The report provides product descriptions, patent details, and competitor products (marketed and emerging therapies) of TEPMETKO. The report also highlights the historical and forecasted sales from 2020 to 2034 segmented into 7MM [the United States, the EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain), the United Kingdom, and Japan]. EMD Serono's TEPMETKO (tepotinib) Overview TEPMETKO is a kinase inhibitor prescribed for adult patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying MET exon 14 skipping alterations. The active component is Tepotinib (as hydrochloride monohydrate), administered orally. Patients should be cautioned about the heightened risk of severe or fatal interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis, liver toxicity, and potential embryo-fetal toxicity, necessitating effective contraception during and shortly after treatment. Tepotinib specifically targets MET, including variants with exon 14 skipping mutations. It blocks HGF-dependent and independent MET phosphorylation, disrupting MET-driven signaling pathways. Additionally, at clinically relevant concentrations, Tepotinib inhibits melatonin 2 and imidazoline 1 receptors. In vitro studies show that it suppresses tumor cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, and migration of MET-dependent cancer cells. In mouse models with MET-driven tumors, including those with MET exon 14 skipping alterations, Tepotinib reduced tumor growth, sustained MET phosphorylation inhibition, and, in one case, decreased metastasis formation. The recommended dose of TEPMETKO is 450 mg taken orally once daily until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs. Patients should take it at the same time each day, swallowing tablets whole without chewing, crushing, or splitting them. If a dose is missed and less than eight hours remain until the next scheduled dose, patients should skip it. In cases of vomiting after taking TEPMETKO, the next dose should be taken at the usual time. Learn more about TEPMETKO projected market size for NSCLC @ TEPMETKO Market Potential Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer, accounting for 81% of all diagnosed cases. Early detection greatly improves outcomes, but diagnosing NSCLC and other lung cancers is challenging because their symptoms are often mistaken for common illnesses or the long-term effects of smoking. Consequently, 80% of NSCLC cases are already at advanced stages by the time they are identified, making treatment more difficult. Around 80% of EGFR mutations in NSCLC involve either exon 19 deletions or the exon 21 L858R substitution, both of which are classified as sensitizing mutations. Until the last decade, chemotherapy was the primary treatment for advanced and metastatic lung cancer. However, this changed in 2015 with the approval of the first immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab), as a second-line therapy for advanced cases. This was followed by TECENTRIQ (atezolizumab) in 2016. Both therapies were later approved for first-line treatment, broadening their use to a larger patient population. In 2020, the combination of OPDIVO (nivolumab) and ipilimumab also received approval as a first-line treatment for metastatic NSCLC.

To know more about the number of competing drugs in development, visit @ TEPMETKO Market Positioning Compared to Other Drugs Key Milestones of TEPMETKO In February 2024, the FDA granted traditional approval to TEPMETKO for adult patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations. In February 2022, the EC approved TEPMETKO as monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with advanced NSCLC harboring alterations leading to METex14 skipping who require systemic therapy following prior treatment with immunotherapy and/or platinum-based chemotherapy. In February 2021, Merck announced that the US FDA has approved TEPMETKO following priority review for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring MET exon 14 skipping alterations. This indication was approved under accelerated approval based on ORR and DOR. In October 2020, TEPMETKO received ODD for treating NSCLC with MET genomic tumor aberrations In March 2020, EMD Serono (the biopharmaceutical business of Merck KGaA), announced that the MHLW approved TEPMETKO for the treatment of patients with unresectable, advanced, or recurrent NSCLC with METex14 skipping alterations. In September 2019, the US FDA granted BTD for tepotinib in patients with metastatic NSCLC harboring METex14 skipping alterations who progressed following platinum-based cancer therapy Discover how TEPMETKO is shaping the NSCLC treatment landscape @ TEPMETKO NSCLC TEPMETKO Market Dynamics TEPMETKO competes in a growing but highly specialized market where MET-targeted therapies are gaining traction due to their efficacy in addressing MET-altered tumors. The market for MET inhibitors is expanding as precision oncology advances and molecular diagnostics become more widely available, enabling better identification of patients who would benefit from targeted treatments like TEPMETKO. A key factor shaping TEPMETKO's market dynamics is competition. It directly competes with Novartis' TABRECTA (capmatinib), another MET inhibitor approved for the same indication. While TEPMETKO offers the advantage of once-daily dosing compared to TABRECTA's twice-daily regimen, both drugs have similar efficacy profiles, making physician and patient preference an important differentiator. Additionally, broader competition from next-generation MET inhibitors and combination therapies in clinical trials could impact TEPMETKO's long-term market position. Regulatory approvals and market access play a crucial role in TEPMETKO's adoption. The drug has been approved in multiple regions, including the U.S., Europe, and Japan, but reimbursement and pricing strategies vary by market. Payer policies, along with the cost-benefit analysis of MET inhibitors compared to other targeted therapies, influence prescription trends. Furthermore, real-world evidence and post-marketing studies will be critical in demonstrating TEPMETKO's sustained effectiveness and safety, which could support expanded indications and increased market penetration. Looking ahead, the MET inhibitor market is expected to grow with advances in biomarker-driven therapy, further refining patient selection. TEPMETKO's success will depend on continued clinical development, potential label expansions, and strategic partnerships to strengthen its competitive edge. As new entrants emerge, Merck KGaA's ability to differentiate TEPMETKO through combination strategies or enhanced formulations may determine its long-term sustainability in this evolving landscape.
