**Breaking News! China’s Cancer Drug Outperforms Global PD-1 Inhibitor!**
**Breaking News! China’s Cancer Drug Outperforms Global PD-1 Inhibitor!**

China’s pharmaceutical industry has reached a historic milestone! Remember AK112 (Ivonescimab), which took center stage during this year’s ASCO conference, attracting global attention for its groundbreaking potential? The long wait is finally over, and the results are in!
In May, Akeso Biopharma, a leading Chinese pharmaceutical company, announced that its independently developed bispecific antibody drug AK112 achieved a major milestone in clinical trials. AK112 demonstrated superior efficacy to the globally renowned PD-1 inhibitor Keytruda (K Drug) in treating PD-L1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), marking a revolutionary breakthrough for China’s innovative cancer treatments.
**Clinical Data that Surprised the World**
During the World Conference on Lung Cancer 2024, Professor Zhou Caicun, one of China’s top lung cancer experts, revealed the results of the HARMONi-2 study, which had the entire audience applauding. The data exceeded expectations, demonstrating that AK112 is not just on par with but superior to international “superstar” cancer drugs in several key areas.
– **Progression-Free Survival (PFS):** AK112 improved PFS by an astonishing 91.4% compared to Keytruda, reaching 11.14 months versus 5.82 months.
– **Risk Reduction:** AK112 reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 49%.
– **Objective Response Rate (ORR):** AK112 outperformed Keytruda with a response rate of 50.0% compared to 38.5%.
– **Disease Control Rate (DCR):** AK112 maintained a significant advantage, achieving 89.9% versus 70.5%.
While AK112 showed slightly higher Grade 3 side effects due to its VEGF inhibition, its overall performance remains remarkable. Although overall survival (OS) data is still maturing, AK112’s impressive PFS results suggest that its survival benefits will likely be just as extraordinary.
**The Power of Bispecific Antibodies**
AK112 is part of a new class of cancer drugs called bispecific antibodies, capable of targeting two different antigens at once. In this case, AK112 targets both PD-1 and VEGF, two well-known lung cancer markers. This dual-target approach offers patients better therapeutic options and increased convenience, potentially replacing the traditional combination of PD-1 inhibitors with anti-angiogenic drugs like Avastin.
This breakthrough has made AK112 the first and only bispecific antibody drug to outperform Keytruda in head-to-head clinical trials, solidifying its place as a future game-changer in cancer treatment.
**A Milestone for China’s Pharma Industry**
In May 2024, AK112 received regulatory approval from China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for treating EGFR-mutated, locally advanced, or metastatic NSCLC, becoming the world’s first approved PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody.
This marks a monumental achievement for China’s pharmaceutical innovation. AK112’s success demonstrates that Chinese researchers and drug developers, in just two decades, have achieved what took developed nations over a century. China’s presence at top-tier global cancer conferences like ASCO and ESMO has never been stronger, with clinical data that leaves the world in awe.
China’s pharmaceutical industry may have started late, but its rapid progress is a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of its researchers. Once relying on generics, China is now a leader in pharmaceutical innovation, offering cutting-edge treatments to patients around the globe. The future of cancer treatment is here, and it’s painted in the bold color of “China Red.”

Miracle Unfolds: Zhejiang University Hospital’s Custom CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing + CAR-T Cell Therapy Rebirths Patients
🌟 Miracle Unfolds: Zhejiang University Hospital’s Custom CRISPR/Cas9 Gene Editing + CAR-T Cell Therapy Rebirths Patients 🌟
👨👧👦 (“I want to live to see my child go to university!”)👨👧👦
CAR-T Cell Therapy Patient
🎓 This heartfelt cry came from Mr. Sun, a 40-year-old patient from Guangzhou, who faced the formidable challenge of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a common adult lymphoma type.
🔬14 rounds of chemotherapy, 20 rounds of radiotherapy, total gastrectomy… For two years,
Mr. Sun sought treatment nationwide, endured endless suffering, yet couldn’t defeat the chameleon of the tumor world – diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
“It’s tough. Prepare yourself mentally.” “I want to live to see my child go to university.”
🍋Seeking a glimmer of hope, he turned to Zhejiang University Hospital in Hangzhou. This time, the doctors said, “Let’s give it a try together.”
Multiple abdominal lymphoma lesions invading the intestinal wall, multiple rounds of chemo couldn’t stop the lymphoma from spreading everywhere. Intestinal wall invasion by lymphoma is a relative contraindication for CAR-T therapy, as it can lead to intestinal perforation, so he was no longer suitable for traditional CAR-T cell therapy.
🌿Prof. Liu Mingyao’s team and Prof. Huang He’s team used the Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology to precisely knock out the PD1 site in T lymphocytes and insert the targeted CD19 CAR molecule for tumor cells, creating a brand-new non-viral targeted integrated CAR-T cell (PD1-19bbz), and successfully completed Phase I clinical trials in humans for the first time, verifying the safety and efficacy of the new CAR-T cells.
💪The brand-new PD1-19bbz CAR-T cells, with a low risk of cytokine storms and other complications, gave Mr. Sun a new lease on life.
👑Mr. Sun received PD1-19bbz CAR-T cell infusion and returned. Fourteen days after CAR-T cell return, all indicators were normal. After evaluation, he was discharged. One month after the return, PET-CT evaluation showed that the large mass of tumor invading the intestinal mucosa in the original abdominal cavity had completely disappeared.
🏸Today, Mr. Sun has been disease-free for over 2 years.
In a recent follow-up, all of Sun’s examination results were normal, his weight had increased significantly compared to before his illness, and his complexion looked much healthier. “After cell therapy, my body suddenly felt normal again. My friends and family all say I’ve miraculously recovered. Now in my spare time, I even play badminton, completely restoring my pre-illness lifestyle.”
Tsinghua University
🎨Two years later, in the summer of 2022, Mr. Sun shared good news with the medical staff in Hangzhou: his child has been accepted to the School of Arts at Tsinghua University!
