Shanghai Junshi Says JS001 Subcutaneous Injection Meets Goal of Late-Stage Study

MT Newswires Live11-25

Shanghai Junshi Biosciences (HKG:1877) said a subcutaneous injection version of its JS001 cancer medicine worked as well as the regular injection version as a first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer, according to a Hong Kong bourse filing Monday.

Shares of the healthcare company gained over 5% in morning trade Tuesday.

Results from a late-stage study showed that JS001sc was non-inferior to JS001, or toripalimab, with comparable efficacy and safety profiles in treating recurrent or

metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer, meeting the main goal of a late-stage study called JS001sc-002-III-NSCLC.

The firm said it planned to submit a new drug application for the subcutaneous injection version of the drug with regulatory authorities in the near future.
