Number of Novel Drugs Approved by NMPA and Included in
National Reimbursement Drug List

• To speed up novel drug development and meet clinical needs, NMPA accelerates the process of clinical trial and product
approvals. Approval numbers have been rising fast since 2016.
• The National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) is the major mechanism for public reimbursement in China, covering 98 percent
of the entire population. It has been adjusted once a year in principle under a dynamic mechanism since 2017. Most of the
additions are new drugs of high clinical value that can be used to treat multiple diseases including cancer, diabetes and
tuberculosis.
• According to the analysis of NRDL data, the average time between new drugs from approval to being included in the NRDL from
2016-2021 (2017 not included) is 24.7, 20.3, 20.6, 12.9 and 6.7 months, respectively, with the length of time gradually shortening.
• Class A (甲类) drugs are fully reimbursed by basic medical insurance funds. Class B (乙类) drugs are not fully reimbursed, with a
component of out-of-pocket percentage about 70% to 80%, to be borne by the patient.

Overview of Cancer Immuno-Oncology Therapy

• Over the last few years, immuno-oncology therapy has revolutionized cancer care. Immuno-oncology therapy is designed to stimulate the
patient’s own immune system to generate or augment an antitumor immune response in order to control or eradicate cancer cells. Due to its
ability to provide durable remissions while being generally well-tolerated in certain patients with advanced cancers, the discovery and
development of immuno-oncology therapy in recent years mark a milestone in cancer treatment.
• Innate immunity and adaptive immunity are two types of immunity. Intrinsic immunity, which is present from birth, enables a rapid response to
various invading pathogenic microorganisms and also plays an important role in the process of initiation and effect of specific immunity. Adaptive
immunity involves specialized immune cells and antibodies that attack and destroy foreign invaders and are able to prevent disease in the future
by remembering what those substances look like and mounting a new immune response.

Classification of Immuno-Oncology Therapy

• Immuno-Oncology therapy is an emerging pillar of cancer treatment, alongside with surgery, chemotherapy and
radiation, inducing parts of human’s immune system to fight diseases. The process can be down in either stimulating
immune system to attack cancer cells or giving immune system components. Such immuno-oncology therapy comprises
cytokines, therapeutic cancer vaccine, checkpoint mAbs, and cellular immunotherapy such as chimeric antigen receptor
modified T cells (CAR T).
• Although there are many types of immuno-oncology therapies, most of them are actually using T cells for the anti-tumor
effects. Because of the difference in the development and regulation of immuno-oncology therapies between China and
U.S., a part of the advanced immuno-oncology therapies, especially cellular immunotherapies are currently not
marketed in China but marketed in U.S.

Clinical Applications of Immuno-Oncology Therapies

Immuno-Oncology Therapies in China


• Compared with traditional treatment methods, cellular immuno-oncology therapy is expected to become the mainstream treatment for
tumors in the future because it can be clinically tailored to specific patients/diseases, enhance their body immune function, and is safer
and more durable. At present, most of domestic clinical anti-tumor therapy still makes use of T cells, but clinical trials related to cellular
immunotherapy are also being accelerated.
• In order to overcome the problem of drug resistance in immuno-oncology therapy and avoid patients' non-response to treatment, clinical
measures should be taken to overcome drug resistance at different stages of immune response according to the characteristics of
different immunophenotypes, as well as considering different links or targets of action and different combinations of drugs.

Main Product Categories of Immuno-Oncology Therapies

• According to the different therapeutic principles, immunotherapy can be mainly divided into: non-specific immune
stimulation, tumor vaccine, relay cell therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, etc. Up to now, immunotherapy has
gradually developed from non-specific immunity to specific immunity, and from adjuvant to traditional treatment to
simple immunotherapy or immunotherapy combination therapy. Adoptive cell therapy and immune checkpoint
inhibitors are currently the most mainstream immunotherapies. Moreover, lots of immune checkpoint inhibitors have
been listed, and their safety and efficacy have been clinically verified.

Catrgories Mechanism
• Cellular immunotherapy is based on immunological principles and methods, collecting human
immune cells, culturing and expanding them in vitro to enhance the targeted killing function, and
Cellular Immunotherapy then infusing them back into the human body to kill pathogens, cancer cells and mutated cells in
blood and tissues by mobilizing the body's immune system to inhibit tumor growth and enhance the
body's immune capability.

• During immunotherapy, cytokines directly stimulate immune effector cells and stromal cells at the
Cytokines
tumor site, enhancing cytotoxicity.
• Therapeutic tumor vaccines are prepared in vitro on a large scale by carrying tumor antigen-
presenting cells carrying tumor-associated antigens or modified tumor cells as therapeutic vaccines
for tumor patients. The therapeutic vaccine is used to stimulate the specific immunity of the patient's
Therapeutic Cancer Vaccine
body against tumor cells. tumor cells, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and treating tumors. The
purpose is to stimulate the specific immune response against tumor cells to inhibit tumor growth
and treat tumors.

• ICIs act as negative regulators of multiple immune checkpoints, particularly in cytotoxic T cells,
leading to inhibition of T cell stimulation. The negative costimulatory molecules such as CTLA-4,
PD-1 are expressed in different immune cell types, exhibiting immunosuppressive functions. As a

result, T cells are exhausted and the anti-cancer functions of the immune system are weakened.
ICIs remove these inhibitory signals, restore T cells from their exhausted status, and recover their
cytotoxicity on tumor cells.

Classification and Comparative Analysis of Antibody Drugs
Comparison of Antibody Drugs and Chemical Drugs

• Compared to traditional chemical drugs, monoclonal antibodies are less available, more expensive and not fully covered
by medical insurance. However, in terms of clinical value, antibodies have high specificity and high affinity for the
corresponding antigens, making them unparalleled in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, especially for the
treatment of tumors.
• As the aging population in China and the morbidity and mortality rates of tumors continue to rise, patient demand for
monoclonal antibodies will further increase, with huge market potential for antibody drugs for preventive vaccines,
hormone deficiencies, molecular diagnostics and tumor therapy. At present, the international anti-tumor drug market is
dominated by antibody drug. With the continuous development and depth of new technologies and antibody group drugs
in the future, many new targets, new antibodies and antibody drug conjugation programs will be continuously developed
and put into use, and antibody drugs with anti-tumor drugs as the core still have great development potential in the
future.

Analysis of the Value Chain of Antibody Industry

• The upstream industry in antibody manufacturing is mainly raw material suppliers. The raw materials required for the production of
antibodies include cell lines, culture medium, chromatographic media and so on. The quality of raw materials will directly affect the
drug quality and fluctuations in their price will also affect the manufacturing costs of drugs.
• Pharmaceutical distribution companies and hospitals are downstream industries for mAb drugs. Hospitals provide patients with
medical services and prescriptions of drugs and are main sales terminals while pharmaceutical distribution companies are
responsible for the logistics such as cold chain and warehousing.

The first step for monoclonal antibody development is to validate potential targets, which involve
biophysics evaluation and cell- or tissue-based assessment. The following discovery procedures are

Analysis of the Development Process and Mechanism of Bispecific
Antibody Drugs
• Bispecific antibodies can recognize and specifically bind to two antigens or epitopes of antigens. Theoretically, it can
block the biological functions mediated by two antigens/epitopes at the same time or draw the two antigen cells closer,
thereby enhancing their interaction.
• In recent years, with the in-depth understanding of the pathogenesis of various diseases and the development and
progress of monoclonal antibodies, the development and progress of bispecific antibodies have been promoted. With
the development of antibody construction, expression and purification technology, dozens of structures of bispecific
antibodies have appeared. At present, tumor is one of the hot areas of double antibody research.

Technical differences between IgG- type structure and Non-IgG-Type Structure

• Technically, IgG-type structure and non-IgG-type structure are very different from each other. IgG- type structure has Fc-
mediated functional effects including ADCC, CDC and ADCP so that it can improve anti- tumor ability. It also has longer serum
half life time. At the same time, IgG- type structure’s manufacturing is more mature and convenient due to Fc’s contribution to
stability of purified antibodies.
• In comparison with IgG- type structure, Non-IgG- type structure has lower immunogenicity and higher security. Since its
molecule is pretty small, it can penetrate into tumor tissue efficiently, offering better therapeutic effects. However, it has
relatively shorter serum half life time (2 hours) which challenges the manufacturing process.

Overview of CD3 Targets

• CD3(cluster of differentiator 3) is a protein complex and T-cell co-receptor that is involved in activating both the
cytotoxic T cell(CD8+ naive T cells) and T helper cells(CD4 + naive T cells).
• These chains are associated with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the CD3-zeta (ζ-chain) which is a homodimer to
generate an important activation signal in T lymphocytes. The TCR, CD3-zeta, and the other CD3 molecules together
constitute the TCR complex. The cytoplasmic tail of the TCR is extremely short and it is around three amino acid long
so the other components such as CD3 are needed for an activation.

Analysis of CD3 and TCR Complex

• Given that the intracellular region of the αβ subunit of TCR is very short and cannot complete the function of signal
transduction independently, the signal transduction of T cells requires a complex formed by CD3 and TCR to complete.
• CD3-BsAbs can employ all available T cells and are not limited to tumor-specific T cells, contrary to the key requirement for
effective immune checkpoint therapy. CD3-targeting bsTCEs require preferably complete suppression of Fc-mediated
effector functions in order to minimized off-target toxicity and to maximize therapeutic efficacy. The affinity for CD3
dramatically affects the biodistribution of bsTCEs and bsTCEs with optimized CD3 affinity could effectively inhibit tumor
distribution in vivo.
• Currently, CD3-BsAbs show great potential for hematological cancers, with the FDA-approved blinatumomab (CD3xCD19)
being successfully used in the clinic to treat some B-cell malignancies. As of August 2021, over 123 different CD3-BsAb
formats are known, which also indicates CD3 is the most selected target in current dual anti-drug development..

Challenges of CD3-Targeted Bispecific Antibodies Development

• Currently, CD3-BsAbs show great potential for hematological cancers, with the FDA- approved
blinatumomab (CD3xCD19) being successfully used in the clinic to treat some B-cell malignancies. Many
other CD3-BsAbs are being tested in (pre)clinical studies for both hematological and solid tumors.

Tumors
antibodies in solid tumors is still rather limited. The observation that CD3-BsAbs seem more efficacious in
hematological malignancies than in solid tumors can be attributed to several challenges that are specific to
solid tumors.

• Over 40% of adult patients treated with blinatumomab show a complete or partial response and median
overall survival is improved by several months compared to standard of care chemotherapy. Unfortunately,
Limited Effectiveness of most patients still relapse eventually after primary response to blinatumomab therapy. These relapses are

• Multiple immunosuppressive cell types, such as cancer-associated fibroblasts, regulatory T cells, and
tumor-associated macrophages, are present in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of solid tumors. This
Low Efficacy under the TME compromises the quality of effector T cells, which reduces the effectiveness of the immunological synapse
of Solid Tumor created by CD3-BsAb. Immune checkpoints also reduce the effector capabilities of tumor-infiltrating
lymphocytes (TILs). Additionally, CD3-BsAbs may cause activation-induced cell death in TILs, which
inhibits a potent anti-tumor response.

Focus More on Solid of CD3-BsAb is that regardless of TCR specificity, the T cell subpopulation (Pan T cell
Tumors population) can be turned into "Effector T Cells", allowing T cells to effectively recognize and kill
tumor cells. Several CD3- BsAb have been successfully used in the clinic for the treatment of
hematologic tumors, and the indications are actively expanding towards solid tumors.

• Cytokine storm (CRS) is one of the most important toxic side effects in both most CD3-BsAb and
CAR-T therapies. Targeting CD3 antigens when tumor cells are in the same environment as a
large number of healthy B and T cells causes T cell activation to proceed abruptly and excessive

followed by increasing amounts of the drug in subsequent doses. The use of step dosing in the
clinic is reasonably new and the step regimens are being determined empirically. A better
understanding of the mechanism of how step dosing ameliorates toxicity is needed to determine
what the best step regimen will be and whether it has any impact on T-cell activation or efficacy.

Overview of Malignant Pleural Effusion and Malignant Ascites

• A malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is the build up of fluid and cancer cells that collects between the chest wall and the lung. This can
cause the patient to feel short of breath and/or have chest discomfort. It is a fairly common complication in various different cancers.
• Malignant ascites (MA) is a sign of peritoneal carcinomatosis, the presence of malignant cells in the peritoneal cavity. Malignant ascites
may be associated with a variety of neoplasms including, ovarian, breast, gastric, lung, pancreatic and cancers.

Treatment Paradiam of Malignant Pleural Effusion and Malignant
Ascites
• Malignant pleural effusion and malignant ascites is a complication of cancer. It‘s official treatment cannot be divided into first line, second line and third line
treatment like cancer.
• There are no approved drugs for the treatment of malignant pleural effusion and malignant ascites by the Chinese and US FDA, and no drug guidelines that can
guide oncologists for the treatment of malignant pleural effusion and malignant ascites have been issued by the NCCN, ASCO, CMA, CSCO. Clinical palliative
treatment such as puncture and drainage is the main treatment, but there are also some research based clinical data and expert consensus recommending the
use of intraperitoneal injection of chemotherapeutic drugs or anti-vascular production drugs, intraperitoneal thermal perfusion and other therapies.
• After completing the registered clinical trial, M701 will obtain approval from the drug regulatory department for the treatment of malignant pleural effusion and
malignant ascites, which means it will be able to compete with all current therapies. When a drug’s listing requires approval through registered clinical trials,
usually it is necessary to compare certain evidence-based medical evidence before the drug can be included in the guidelines.

Overview of Drugs for Malignant Pleural Effusion and Malignant
Ascites
• To date, fewer common international guidelines recommend the use of anti-tumor medical treatment prior to standard palliative procedures for the management
of Malignant Pleural Effusion (MPE) and Malignant Ascites (MA). Nowadays marketed drugs (e.g., drugs used in chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and/or
immunotherapy) are mainly used in systemic and local therapy for MPE and MA, with the core ideas of curing primary tumors in early-stage patients or
symptom relief in advanced cancer patients. Since massive ascites and pleural effusion, in particular, are frequently associated with malignancies in several
organs that have an extremely poor prognosis, patients in this advanced situation hardly benefit from marketed drugs. However, several innovative "Wonder
drugs" specific to MPE and MA are being developed now, which can target primary and secondary tumors simultaneously with minimal by-effect and promise
higher efficacy and safety.

Developing Innovative Medicines Specific to MPE and MA
• Innovative medicines specific to MPE and MA denote drugs with MPA and/or MA approved adaptations that function as targeted therapy and/or
immunotherapy. Medicines specific to MPE and MA can inhibit the progression of various tumors and relieve MPE and MA symptoms by blocking universal
and essential supports for tumor metastasis like angiogenesis or targeting biomarkers on spread-expressed various tumors and enhancing an immune
reaction on tumor cells. At present, there are two innovative drugs specific to MPE and MA is under development globally.

Overview of EpCAM

• The EpCAM gene provides instructions for making a protein known as epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (EpCAM).
This protein is found in epithelial cells, which are the cells that line the surfaces and cavities of the body. The EpCAM
protein is found spanning the membrane that surrounds epithelial cells, where it helps cells stick to one another (cell
adhesion).

symptoms.
The advantage of CD3×EpCAM in MPE and MA treatment lies in its effectiveness.

• Tumor cells in malignant effusions express EpCAM in 70%–100% of those cases that commonly cause malignant ascites, e.g.
ovarian, gastric, breast and colorectal cancer. This indicates that EpCAM is an attractive target for antibody therapy.
Advantages

• Within the peritoneal cavity, EpCAM expression is tumor-specific because normal cells in the peritoneal compartment are of
mesothelial origin and do not express EpCAM on their surface
• When compared with popular treatment methods, the use of CD3×EpCAM requires less hospital stay time and less
complications. In patients treated with chemical pleurodesis, a mean hospital stay of 2.33 days, complication rates of 16.5% and
mean survival length of 23.8±16.3 months were observed. Though adverse effects from the use of CD3×EpCAM include
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, pyrexia, and skin reactions, most of these effects occurred on the day of or the day after
infusion and were fully reversible.
• The harnessing of the immune system suggests that this antibody may not only be effective for advanced disease but may also
be beneficial for patients with earlier stages of disease.

Overview of Multiple Myeloma

• Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a cancer of the plasma cells in the bone marrow. Plasma cells are antibody-producing white
blood cells that are critical to the immune system. Myeloma begins when healthy plasma cells become cancerous and
grow out of control. MM often results in extensive skeletal destruction with osteolytic lesions, osteopenia, and/or
pathologic fractures.
• Multiple myeloma can be subdivided into hyperdiploid MM (h-MM) and non-hyperdiploid MM (nh-MM) based on their
aneuploidy status, and the two subtypes have different prognosis and survival outcomes. Patients with hyperdiploid
multiple myeloma tend to have a better prognosis than those with non-hyperdiploid subtype.

Unmet Needs of Multiple Myeloma Treatment

• The 5-year survival rate of MM is only 35.0%. The prognosis of an MM patient is very heterogeneous and is
subject to various factors, such as genetics, performance status and stage of disease, which in turn determine
the treatment and management of the disease. Current treatment regimens can prolong patient survival;
however, MM remains incurable and patients will eventually relapse and succumb to their disease. As a result,
patients may require continuous treatment in order to manage MM as a chronic disease and regimens with
convenient administration that can provide the convenience of outpatient treatment. Existing treatment options
Feature of “incurable” with different mechanisms of action are usually exhausted early on in the treatment, as patients are treated with
will eventually cause doublet and triplet combination regimens in early treatment lines. Therefore, new classes of therapy with novel
disease recurrence mechanisms of action are required for patients that relapse or are refractory to the current classes of drugs.
There are a few new classes of MM therapy, for example, the BCMA ADC, which could reach an ORR of 31%
as a third or later line treatment, and 73% of the patients who responded to the treatment continued to respond
at month six, and SINE inhibitors such as selinexor. However, such new classes of MM therapies may not be
able to completely cure MM. With about 16.2 thousand and 117.1 thousand deaths expected to be caused by
MM in China and globally in 2020, respectively, there remains a significant unmet need for therapies for
patients whose disease has relapsed after, or is refractory to, available MM therapies.

• Treatment for MM is costly. For example, the price of daratumumab, an anti-CD38 target therapy, could be as
high as $617 per 5 milliliter dose and patients need frequent administration of daratumumab to manage MM as
a chronic disease. Overall, daratumumab alone costs approximately US$134.5 thousand annual for each MM
patient. In addition, as anti-CD38 target therapy usually needs to be combined with other therapeutics, the total
Lower drug treatment cost for MM may be significantly higher. For example, a combination therapy of daratumumab,
accessibility and lenalidomide and dexamethasone would cost an additional US$53.8 thousand each year. Beyond direct costs
significant Cost of associated with therapeutics, MM patients, or the healthcare system as the case may be, also need to pay for
treatment hospitalization, which could cost US$20.8 thousand for single stay. Generally, MM patients need to incur
hospitalization costs for each treatment cycle that could be as frequent as once every month. In addition,
treatment cost of MM also include other expensive supporting therapies, such as bisphosphonate for the MM-
related bone disease and dialysis for possible renal failure which might add to the total cost for each patient of
US$165.0 thousand and US$88.6 thousand, respectively, each year.

Future Trends of Multiple Myeloma Treatment

• Numerous recently approved and emerging pipeline therapies along with combinations of newer
Strategies focus more agents with established regimens, all set the stage for continued improvement in long-term
on continued outcomes. Newer strategies likely to have a therapeutic presence in MM include CAR-T therapy,
improvement in long- immune checkpoint inhibitors, as well as novel small molecule targeting agents. Outstanding
term outcomes challenges include determining the optimal timing and combinations based on an individual’s
clinical characteristics and biological profile.

Developing indicators • Multiple myeloma is an incurable disease. For some patients, they will still face disease relapse
that can predict after CAR-T treatment, requiring subsequent sequential transplantation and other treatments.
Therefore, one of the future research directions for multiple myeloma is to find certain indicators
different treatment
and methods that can predict different treatment responses and different prognoses of patients,
responses and so as to distinguish patients with an excellent prognosis (without any need for excessive
different prognoses intervention) from those with a very poor prognosis (with needs for early intervention), and thus
of patients guide the treatment choice of patients.

• Clinical management of MM patients remains challenging because acquisition of drug resistance


Clinical application is the basis for disease relapse in most patients. Relevant scientific studies on patient samples
are describing the mechanisms of resistance to targeted and immune agents in order to inform
focus on overcoming
clinical strategies to overcome resistance and improve patient prognosis. Identification of
resistance biomarkers of MM resistance/sensitivity in patients may further inform future sequential and
combination therapies.

CD38 Targeted Treatment for Multiple Myeloma

• CD38 antigen is highly and uniformly expressed on plasma cells and thus represents an ideal target for the treatment of
multiple myeloma (MM) with anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
• Daratumumab is the most advanced anti-CD38 mAb in the clinical development with approval in several indications,
nevertheless isatuximab that targets completely different epitope of CD38 molecule is also very promising drug.
• Based on their favourable toxicity profile and distinct mechanism of action, anti-CD38 mAbs represents very attractive
partner to back-bone anti-myeloma drugs. Indeed, daratumumab is already recommended as a part of three distinct
combination regimens in relapsed setting.

Limitations
Daratumumab
• Anti-CD38 targeted therapy usually needs to be combined with
other drugs, but the price is relatively high. The price of
+ Daratumumab alone is as high as $617/ 5ml dose. In the early
stage of treatment, patients need frequent injections of these
drugs.
• Reported data from a clinical trial assessing daratumumab as
monotherapy in R/R MM patients in the fourth or later line
Lenalidomide Bortezomib Ixazomib setting showed a median PFS of 3.7 month. Published data of
a clinical trial in 103 R/R MM patients to assess the
combination therapy of daratumumab, pomalidomide and
dexamethasone as third or later line therapy showed a mPFS
of 8.8 months.
Dexamethasone • With a certain degree of adverse reactions, the most
concerned adverse effect for anti-CD38 agent is infusion
reaction, as well as other common grade 3/4 adverse events
include neutropenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia,
leukopenia, pneumonia and fatigue, which will reduce patient
compliance to a certain extent.

Overview of Breast Cancer

• Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, and the new cases increase year by year. Breast cancer
mostly happens in women aged 50. Developing from breast tissue, breast cancer may present as a lump in the breast,
a change in breast shape, dimpling of the skin, fluid coming from the nipple, a newly inverted nipple, or a red or scaly
patch of skin. According to TNM staging system, the breast cancer stages divide into stage 0 to stage 4.

High Prevalence Type of HER2+ Tumors

• HER2 refers to cells that have HER2 protein on their surface. In healthy cells, HER2 helps regulate cell development,
while cancers with increased levels of HER2 are said to be HER2-positive. Overproduction of HER2 in cancer cells can
lead to faster growth and a higher risk of metastasis (cancer spreading to other organs). Breast, bladder, pancreatic,
ovarian and gastric cancers can all be HER2-positive.

China Incidence of Breast Cancer, 2018-2030E

• Breast cancer places as one of the top 10 cancer types ranking by incidence, and approximately 25% of people with
breast cancer in China are diagnosed as HER2+ positive. In 2022, 341.0 thousand new cases of breast cancer occurred
in China, and this number grows to 357.8 thousand in 2026 with a CAGR of 1.2% during the period from 2022 to 2026.
It is expected to reach 370.6 thousand in 2030, with a CAGR of 0.9% from 2026 to 2030.
• The growth rate of incidence is slower year by year, which is associated with the raising awareness on cancer
management. In addition, the system on controlling the risk factors of breast cancer will be more thorough, which is
useful on controlling cancer incidence.

Treatment paradigm for Stage IV breast cancer patients in China

• Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, and its incidence rate ranks first in women's
malignant tumors.
• The main purpose of treatment for advanced breast cancer is not to cure patients, but to improve the quality of life and
prolong the survival time of patients. The treatment methods mainly include chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, and if
necessary, other treatment methods such as surgery or radiation therapy should be considered.

also increase the patient numbers. In 2020, incidence of breast cancer increased to 2.3 million,
and it is expected to be 2.7 million in 2030.

• Although recent advances in breast cancer treatment such as immunotherapy including PD-
1/PD-L1 has revolutionized the industry, only a certain group of patients can benefit from it.
Advancements Besides, a large proportion of patients will eventually develop resistance through evolving
in R&D resistance pathways such as the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Together with the growing
breast cancer market, these drives the R&D of novel drug target and mechanism involved in the
cancer development and progression.

• Clinical criteria that include immunohistochemical markers, such as the estrogen receptor (ER),
the progesterone receptor (PR), and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2),
provide a classification of breast cancer. These phenotypes are responsible for directing the
selection of the optimal therapeutic approaches to treatment (i.e. PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway
Personalized treatment inhibitors, CDK4/6 inhibitors), in determining tumor response to treatments and development of
resistance to therapies. With more advanced genomic techniques, such as RT-PCR, microarrays,
next-generation sequencing, breast cancer diagnostics and targeted treatment is going through a
significant evolution. Together, clinical and molecular criteria can contribute to a more
personalized management of the breast cancer patient.

Treatment Paradigm for Stage IV Gastric Cancer in the U.S.

• Surgery is the main method in treating gastric cancer of stage I-III. However, if the cancer deteriorates to stage IV, the
treatment switches to precision oncology therapies in combination with chemotherapies to alleviate symptoms and
improve the patients’ life quality. Therapies for HER2 negative patients’ treatment are still limited.

Unmet Needs and Future Trends of Gastric Cancer Treatment

Disease-related Unmet Needs

• Globally, the onset of gastric caner has reached about 1.1 million in 2019, and the growth momentum is expected to
increase. The symptoms of gastric cancer are often atypical, which makes gastric cancer hard to be diagnosed.
• HER2 overexpression in gastric/GEJ adenocarcinomas tends to be more heterogeneous, both with respect to morphology
and the immunoreactivity of tumor cells to antibodies detecting HER2

Treatment-related Unmet Needs

• Quality control of molecular testing for HER2 is an important issue and standardized protocols are needed to ensure
precise identification of eligible patients
• Although chemotherapy regimens for advanced gastric cancer have made continuous progress in the past 40 years,
including 5-FU based regimens, platinum-containing regimens and novel chemotherapy combination regimens, the
efficacy of first-line chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer is still considerably low with an ORR of approximately 25%,
a median PFS of approximately from 3 to 6 months and a median OS of approximately from 8 to 13 months.
• To date, trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER2, is the first and only anti-HER2 mAb for gastric cancer
treatment approved by authorities in China and the U.S. Despite the reported efficacy of trastuzumab, its application is
limited by the relatively small portion of HER2 positive gastric cancer, which only accounts for approximately 7.3%-20.2%
of all gastric cancer cases.

Future Trends

• The usage of trastuzamb, a favorable drug for HER2+ gastric cancer, would be expended to later treatment phases, since
the activity of trastuzumab beyond disease progression has been well established in several studies.
• More and more new HER2-targeted therapies are expected to be innovated, since there’s no efficient treatment for
HER2+ patients whose tumors are no longer controlled by trastuzumab.
• More effective systemic therapies are needed as the majority of patients with stage IV disease become refractory to all
available therapies. One area of active research into the disease includes the role of immune therapy.

Treatment Paradigm of Ovarian Cancer in China

• Olaparib, Niraparib and Rucaparib, as PARP-targeted drugs, are recommended for the maintenance treatment of ovarian cancer cancer while Rucaparib hasn’t
been approved in China yet.
• A series of medical evidences show that PARP inhibitors can significantly delay the recurrence time and prolong the PFS time of patients in the maintenance
treatment of ovarian cancer. Especially for patients with BRCA gene mutation/HRD positive, the effect of PARP inhibitors is more significant.
• The previous standard of care in China mainly consists of debulking surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy. Although platinum-based chemotherapy is
effective at inducing an initial response, more than 80% of initially responding tumor will recur, and resistance to platinum-based therapy will eventually emerge.

Growth Drivers and Future Trends of Ovarian Cancer Drug Market

HER2 serving as • Several meta-statistic studies have shown that HER2 expression is associated with worse
progression outcome of ovarian cancer, implicating HER2 maybe a potential prognostic indicator for ovarian
indicators cancer patients

• The deepening of basic biological research on ovarian cancer disease has brought about the
most profound changes in treatment in this field, leading to the development of new drugs and
drug combinations. Drugs for the treatment of ovarian cancer, especially for patients with
platinum-resistant and recurrent ovarian cancer, are undergoing accelerated research and
clinical trials. Emerging targets for the treatment of recurrent or drug-resistant ovarian cancer,
Increasing Treatment such as AKT, PI3K, TOPI, WEE1, and related drugs are also under clinical development, which
Options will provide ovarian cancer patients with more treatment options and further prolong survival.
• With the increasing number of ovarian cancer patients, the demand for ovarian cancer drugs will
further expand. In addition, with the launch of more drugs for ovarian cancer, especially for
recurrent and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Several studies has shown that combination of
a HER2 inhibitor with chemotherapy could improves survival rate, which would boost the
development of combination therapy, the market size will gradually expand.

• Ovarian cancer is not a single disease, but a group of related diseases with unique genetic and
molecular features, some of which respond better to chemotherapy than others. Treatment of
Personalized Treatment
ovarian cancer will be gradually refined to the specific characteristics of each type, and then an

Overview of HER2 x CD3 bispecific antibody

• The bispecific antibody (BsAb) targeting both a T-cell associated antigen and a TAA can bridge T cells and tumor cells to
achieve the concept that the redirecting the cytotoxic activity of the effector T cells to specifically eliminate tumor cells.
• A anti-HER2 × anti-CD3 BsAb recruits and redirects T cells to HER2+ tumor cells through binding to CD3 and HER2,
and further activates T cells to kill the tumor cells.

MOA

The anti-HER2 × anti-CD3 BsAb prevents the dimerization Killing


of the receptor HER2, increases endocytic destruction of the T cell
receptor, and inhibits shedding of the extracellular domain of Tumor cell
HER2. The other target of BsAb, CD3 is the specific surface
antigen of T cells.

Advantage

Mechanism of Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Therapy

• Programmed Death-1 (PD-1) is a critical immune checkpoint receptor expressed on T cells upon activation.
Engagement of PD-1 by its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, transduces a signal that inhibits T-cell proliferation, cytokine
production, and cytolytic function. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) inhibitors of immunological and their corresponding
ligands, including PD-1 and PD-L1, have demonstrated significant anti-tumor activity in patients with various solid
tumors.

Overview of TGF-β Pathway

• The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a family of structurally related proteins that comprises of TGF-β,
activins/inhibins, and bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs). Members of the TGF-β family control numerous cellular
functions including proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and migration.
• TGF-β has a dual action in cancer as a tumor suppressor and a tumor promoter. It can induce cellular growth arrest and
apoptosis at the early stage of cancer as a tumor suppressor. During late stages of tumor progression, it acts as a tumor
promoter and induce tumor cell migration and stimulate epithelial to mesenchymal transition.

Mechanism of PD-L1 x TGF-β Targted BsAbs in Tumor Therapy

• TGF-β can promote PD-(L)1 resistance by converting conventional T cells to immunosuppressive Treg cells and
increasing the survival of myeloid progenitors that differentiate to potent myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).
Both of these processes result in increased expression of TGF-β, while MDSCs express PD-L1 and drive Treg cell
differentiation.
• Inhibition of TGF-β reduced the number of Treg cells, increased the number of effector T cells, and restored sensitivity to
anti-PD-L1 therapy.

Overview of Age-related Macular Degeneration

• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major blindness-causing disease in the elderly population, which can be
divided into dry AMD and wet AMD (wAMD) according to its pathological features. Wet AMD is also known as
neovascular AMD (nAMD), and it can lead to irreversible visual impairment and seriously affect the quality of life of
patients. In AMD patients, approximately 10% are wAMD. However, 80%~90% cases of vision loss are from wAMD
patients.
• Although AMD tends to occur in one eye at a time, approximately 50% of patients who have wAMD in one eye will also
develop this condition in their second eye within 5 years.

Treatment Paradigm of Diabetic Macular Edema (DME)

China has become the world's largest country in the number of diabetes patients, and the prevalence of DR among
diabetes patients has risen to 34.6% and has not been effectively controlled.
The development of DR assessment technology and the advancement of treatment methods have made rapid progress.
Wide angle fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), wide angle coherence tomography (OCT), and wide-angle OCT
angiography (OCTA) have improved the diagnosis and evaluation of DR. In particular, the recognition of retinal fluid,
subretinal fluid (SRF), and retinal strong reflex point (HRF) through OCT provides objective biological imaging markers for
disease severity, prognosis, and drug response.

Treatment Paradigm of Age-Related Macular Degeneration

• In patients with neovascular AMD, early detection and prompt treatment improves the visual outcome. There are different types of
neovascular AMD with CNV based on fluorescein angiography, and their treatments are slightly different.
• Intravitreal injection therapy using anti-VEGF agents is the most effective way to manage neovascular AMD and represents the first
line of treatment. verteporfin PDT and thermal laser photocoagulation surgery remain approved options for the treatment of
subfoveal lesions, and they are usually used in combination therapy with anti-VEGF agents.

Treatment Paradigm of Wet Age-related Macular Degeneration and
Unmet Needs
wAMD is one of the broad categories of retinal diseases among common ophthalmic diseases, and the current first-line
treatment for wet AMD is intraocular injection of anti-VEGF drugs, with representative medications such as Ranibizumab,
Compazepam, Aflibercept, and Bevacizumab. In the area of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, ranibizumab
has emerged as one of the leading drugs in the treatment of choroidal neovascularization.

Mechanism of VEGF×ANG2 Targeted BsAbs and Clinical
Advantages
VEGF (endothelial growth factor) and ANG2 (angiopoietin 2) are important proteins functioning in vasculogenesis,
angiogenesis and cell migration. Abnormally upregulation of those molecules causes inflammation and destabilizes the
endothelial cell layer, which then leads to hypervascular permeability. VEGF/ANG2 bispecific antibody simultaneously
binds to both VEGF and ANG2 and prevents the endothelial barrier from breakdown, diminishes the symptoms of wAMD.

• In the past decades, we have seen the application of molecular genetics in furthering our understanding of immunology, microbiology
and genomics and their integration in vaccine research. Following the outbreak and widespread of COVID-19, traditional vaccine
development and production periods are too long, a more effective and universal vaccine platform is required to contain the pandemic.
The development of mRNA vaccines represents a promising alternative to the conventional approach due to their high potency, short
development period, low cost of manufacture and safe administration. Molecular genetics sets the scene for a bright future for vaccines,
including the development of new vaccine delivery systems and adjuvants.

Overview of Coronaviruses and COVID-19

Overview of Coronaviruses
• Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, which may cause illness in animals or humans. They are widely distributed in many different
species of animals, including bats, cattle, cats, birds, and camels. They are also one of the pathogens that causes respiratory tract
infections in human.
• Coronaviruses are RNA viruses. Their distinctive spike proteins, about 9 to 12 nm, give them the appearance of a solar corona.
• In humans, several coronaviruses are known to cause respiratory infections ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases
such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The mortality rates were 10% for
SARS-CoV and 34.4% for MERS-CoV.

Analysis of the Spreading Factors of COVID-19

• COVID-19 spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks. People
can also become infected by touching a contaminated surface and then touching the eyes, nose or mouth before
washing hands.

Analysis of Variants and Impact on Vaccine Development

• COVID-19 virus is constantly changing through mutations, leading to a number of changes in many aspects of the virus. Most of
the mutations have negligible impact on virus properties or even causing a decrease in pathogenicity. However, mutations in
critical genes, especially in genes coding spike-proteins, are potentially turning the virus more aggressive and infectious. Until now,
there’re 4 variants of concern (VOCs) threatening people across the world.

Duration of Acquired Immunity


• There is no evidence yet that infection of COVID-19 will ensure long-
lasting immunity to re-infection and the protective effect of the
COVID-19 vaccines are still under observation and need more time to
accumulate relevant data.
• Less durable immune response would make COVID-19 a circulating
endemic disease. According to the projection model built by Harvard
scholars, (A) a short duration (40 weeks) of SARS-CoV-2 immunity
could yield annual SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks. (B) Longer-term SARS-
CoV-2 immunity (104 weeks) could yield biennial outbreaks, possibly
with smaller outbreaks in the intervening years. (C) Higher seasonal
variation in transmission would reduce the peak size of the invasion
wave but could lead to more severe wintertime outbreaks thereafter
[compare with (B)]. (D) Long-term immunity (infinity) to SARS-CoV-2
could lead to elimination of the virus.

Future Trends of Recombinant Protein Vaccines

Recombinant protein vaccines bring more efficacy for the current vaccine technology

Mechanism of Recombinant Protein Vaccines Efficacy of Recombinant Protein Vaccines

• Recombinant protein vaccines missed out on


Humoral Immune Response Cellular Immune Response the early wave of investments from
government and industry. However, as
CD4*T cell recombinant protein vaccines are effective at
boosting pre-existing responses, emerging
data are suggesting that recombinant protein

against COVID-19.

The Market is Expected to Grow as the Need for COVID-19 Vaccine Continues to Rise
• The demand for recombinant protein vaccines will grow in the future as the new coronavirus is expected to coexist with humans in
the long term.
• The recurrence of coronaviruses suggests possible future outbreaks and potential to become pandemic and therefore the process
of vaccine development should focus on wide host-range against several of the circulating CoVs to get flexible products within a
short period of time. This necessitates the alliance of recombinant platforms to bring more accuracy and predictable efficacy to the
current vaccine technology.
• Based on current clinical data, most of the COVID-19 vaccine candidates will require a boost injection to increase the cell-
mediated immune response, induce memory cells, and sustain high titers of neutralizing antibodies. This doubles the need for
vaccine supply, and it involves detailed patient follow up and logistical oversight.

• As a result, additional boosting might be required because of waning immunity to the primary vaccination. Some recent studies
have shown that the antibody concentration declined in the third month after administration of two doses of inactivated vaccines,
and the protection rate of currently approved mRNA vaccines declined to approximately 40% in six months. These indicate a
significantly larger and longer-term market demand for booster shots and re-vaccination of COVID-19 vaccines
• As COVID-19 continues to spread and as new variants emerge, this indicates a great opportunity for Chinese vaccine
manufacturers with stable manufacturing capacity to enter the market
• with around 87% of global COVID-19 vaccines supply being allocated to a few high or upper-middle income countries, whereas
other less developed countries with large populations were only allocated around 0.2%
• As of the Latest Practicable Date, there were [15] COVID-19 vaccines that have been conditionally approved or granted for
emergency use in the PRC, of which [1] were mRNA vaccines, [5] were inactivated vaccines, [3] were recombinant adenovirus
viral vector-based and [6] were recombinant subunit protein vaccines. As of the same date, there were [32] clinical-stage COVID-
19 pipeline candidates in the PRC developed, of which [9] used the recombinant subunit protein route
• Around 45% of the globally marketed and in the clinical stage bispecific antibodies target CD3.
• High concentration rate to support different types of formulations. We are able to produce different types of formulation products,
such as lyophilized powder and injectables. Through the formulation screening and optimization, our BsAb formulations are able
to reach a concentration rate of 140mg/ml with low product viscosity and great stability, exceeding the industry average in China,
according to Frost & Sullivan.
• High expression level in upstream process development and optimization. To improve the production titers of target BsAbs, we
optimize the manufacturing process by adopting the Fed-Batch mode. With the optimized techniques, we are able to achieve the
average expression level for our Check-BODY antibodies and our Nano-YBODY™ antibodies of approximately 6.0g/L and 8.0g/L,
respectively, which are higher than the industry average, according to Frost & Sullivan.
• M802 became the first BsAb to file IND application in China.
• M701 became the second BsAb to file IND application in China.
• M701 is the first and only BsAb for MA treatment which received both FDA IND approval and enter Phase II clinical trials in China.

• With respect to HER2-targeted therapies, there are currently 23 approved antibody drugs worldwide, and over 500 antibody
pipelines are in the clinical phase globally. For ICI mAbs, taking anti-PD-1 mAbs as an example, there are currently 16
approved drugs globally, and over 200 pipelines are in the clinical phase. Globally, there are 6 approved cell therapy products
(excluding genetically modified products) and 14 approved gene therapy products for the treatment of cancer.
• The development trend of China’s BsAb market from 2023 to 2025, having four BsAb products launched in 2023 and a rich
pipeline under development, is comparable to that of China’s anti-PD-1/PD-L1 mAb market from 2018 to 2020. China’s anti-PD-
1/PD-L1 mAb market grew at a CAGR of 278.3% from 2018 to 2020, with four PD-1/PD-L1 products launched in 2018.
• As of the Latest Practicable Date, there were 75 and 22 CD3 targeted antibody drug candidates or fusion proteins for the

Treatment Paradigm of Pancreatic Cancer in China
• The treatment of pancreatic cancer mainly includes surgical treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, interventional
therapy, ERCP related treatment and TCM treatment. Currently, the option of targeted therapies is quite limited. Several
targeted therapies besides erlotinib have been assessed in combination with gemcitabine, but none has been shown to
significantly impact outcomes.
