JUNSHI BIO (01877) rose nearly 5% in trading, reaching HK$24.92 with a turnover of HK$32.54 million. The company announced that its self-developed toripalimab injection (subcutaneous) (product code: JS001sc) met the primary endpoint in a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled Phase III clinical study for first-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), compared with toripalimab injection (product code: JS001) combined with chemotherapy. JUNSHI BIO plans to submit a marketing authorization application for the product to regulatory authorities soon.
JS001sc is a subcutaneous injection formulation developed based on the company's already marketed toripalimab injection. It is the first domestically developed anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody subcutaneous formulation to enter Phase III clinical studies, potentially offering greater convenience for patients.
