China has made remarkable progress in the field of innovative cancer treatment. In October 2024, a Chinese biotechnology company announced that IM96 CAR-T cell injection, developed in collaboration with Peking University Cancer Hospital, received clinical trial approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This marks a significant milestone for China in applying CAR-T technology to solid tumor treatment. IM96 is the first CAR-T cell drug approved in China for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer and has become the sixth CAR-T product approved for this company.

### Breakthroughs in IM96 Technology and Clinical Trial Highlights

IM96 utilizes ActSep-CD3/CD28 sorting and activation magnetic beads from China’s National Biopharmaceutical Technology Innovation Center. This is a cutting-edge technology, marking the first time China’s GMP-grade micron magnetic beads have been used in a CAR-T cell drug clinical trial, laying an important foundation for improved efficacy and safety.

The clinical trial of IM96 is led by Peking University Cancer Hospital, with Professor Lin Shen, a renowned oncology expert, as the principal investigator. Its preclinical study data has gained international recognition and was selected for the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, attracting significant attention.

### Exceptional Efficacy and Safety

IM96 has demonstrated outstanding efficacy in preclinical studies. Data shows a Disease Control Rate (DCR) of 73.7%, an Objective Response Rate (ORR) of 50%, and a median Progression-Free Survival (mPFS) exceeding 10 months. These results indicate a strong potential for IM96 in controlling tumor progression in metastatic colorectal cancer.

Additionally, IM96’s safety has been well-validated in preclinical studies, with only 5.0% of patients experiencing neurotoxicity or severe Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), underscoring its advantage in managing side effects.

### Meeting the Urgent Need for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Treatment

Colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent cancer worldwide, with 1.93 million new cases and over 930,000 deaths each year. In China, the incidence and mortality rates of this cancer are high, particularly among advanced-stage metastatic patients who have limited treatment options. As an innovative solid tumor CAR-T drug developed independently in China, IM96 will address the gap in CAR-T therapies for colorectal cancer, offering new hope for patients.

### International Recognition and Academic Achievements

IM96 has been selected for consecutive presentations at the 2023 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting. Its excellent preclinical data has garnered global attention in the oncology community. The research findings have been accepted for publication in the prestigious *Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer*. These achievements not only highlight China’s strength in CAR-T innovation but also contribute new perspectives and strategies to global cancer treatment.

The approval of IM96 marks a new phase in China’s development of CAR-T therapies, especially for solid tumors, and is expected to provide more effective and safer treatment options for colorectal cancer patients worldwide. This breakthrough will further enhance China’s international standing in cancer treatment and inject new momentum into global advancements in anti-cancer technologies.
