Shares of ImmuneOnco Biopharmaceuticals (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. (HKG:01541) surged 18.66% on Monday after the company announced a major clinical milestone for its lead drug candidate IMM01.
The Chinese biotech firm dosed the first patient in a Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating IMM01 (Timdarpacept) in combination with azacitidine for the first-line treatment of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), a type of rare blood cancer.
Initiation of this late-stage study marks an important inflection point for IMM01's clinical development program. Positive data from the Phase 3 trial would support regulatory submissions for the drug candidate as a potential new treatment option for CMML patients worldwide.
