Fosun Pharma Receives NMPA Clearance to Begin Phase I Trial of siRNA Candidate FXR0906 for Hypertriglyceridemia

Bulletin Express07-15

Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd. (Fosun Pharma) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Fosun Pharmaceutical Industrial Development (Shenzhen) Company Limited, has secured approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to initiate a Phase I clinical trial of FXR0906 for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia.

FXR0906 is a liver-targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapy licensed to Fosun Pharma with exclusive rights for research, development, registration, manufacturing and commercialization in mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau. The drug aims to lower serum triglyceride levels by suppressing APOC3 mRNA expression.

As of June 2026, cumulative research and development investment in FXR0906 totaled approximately RMB 71.00 million, including licence fees (unaudited). To date, no siRNA therapy for hypertriglyceridemia has been approved in China, positioning FXR0906 as a potential first-in-class entrant if future trials prove successful.

The company plans to commence the Phase I study on the Chinese mainland once preparatory conditions are met. Management stresses that drug development entails inherent uncertainties, noting that clinical trials may face termination due to safety or efficacy issues and that market launch is contingent upon the completion of all regulatory requirements.
