熊去氧膽小檗堿（HTD1801）一藥多效 即將進入商業化新紀元

香港, 2025年4月15日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 君聖泰醫藥（股票代碼: 2511.HK），一家專注于開發多功能創新療法以解決慢性肝病和代謝性疾病未滿足臨床需求的醫藥公司，今日宣佈，熊去氧膽小檗堿（HTD1801）在中國2型糖尿病（T2DM）患者中開展的兩項3期臨床試驗（SYMPHONY 1和SYMPHONY 2）達到主要療效終點及多個次要療效終點。這兩項3期臨床試驗結果充分證明了HTD1801一藥多效、為T2DM患者提供綜合獲益的特性。基於此次發佈的積極的臨床試驗數據，君聖泰醫藥計畫於今年內向國家藥品監督管理局（NMPA）藥品審評中心（CDE）遞交HTD1801治療T2DM適應症的新藥上市申請（NDA）。SYMPHONY 1（NCT06350890）及SYMPHONY 2（NCT06353347）試驗是兩項隨機、雙盲、安慰劑對照的臨床3期試驗，旨在分別評估HTD1801在飲食及運動干預後血糖控制不佳（SYMPHONY 1; N=407）和二甲雙胍治療後血糖控制不佳（SYMPHONY 2; N=549）的T2DM成人受試者中的有效性和安全性。兩項研究的主要療效終點為治療24周後糖化血紅蛋白（HbA1c）相對於基線的變化，次要終點包含HbA1c <7.0%的受試者百分比、空腹血糖(FPG)、低密度脂蛋白膽固醇(LDL-C)、γ-穀氨醯轉移酶（GGT）和超敏C反應蛋白（hs-CRP）等。成功達到主要療效終點，HTD1801展現優越降糖療效SYMPHONY 1（單藥治療）：HTD1801治療組第24周HbA1c自基線平均變化值為-1.3%，顯著優於安慰劑組。HTD1801在基線較高的嚴重患者人群中展示出更優的降低療效：在基線HbA1c≥8.5%的患者中，HTD1801治療組的HbA1c自基線平均變化值為-1.5%。SYMPHONY 2（與二甲雙胍聯合治療）：HTD1801治療組第24周HbA1c自基線平均變化值為-1.2%，顯著優於安慰劑組。HTD1801在基線較高的嚴重患者人群中展示出更優的降低療效：在基線HbA1c≥8.5%的患者中，HTD1801治療組的HbA1c自基線平均變化值為-1.6%。在這兩項3期臨床研究中，都觀察到了治療期內HTD1801治療組的HbA1c隨治療時間呈現出持續下降的趨勢，提示HTD1801可以持久改善T2DM患者的血糖代謝的潛力。成功達到一系列次要療效終點，HTD1801展現綜合代謝改善特性在兩項研究中，治療24周後，HTD1801治療組中達到HbA1c<7.0%的患者比例顯著高於安慰劑組。與安慰劑相比，HTD1801可同時顯著降低餐後血糖及空腹血糖。此外，HTD1801展現出糖脂同降能力，可顯著降低低密度脂蛋白膽固醇（LDL-C）、非高密度脂蛋白膽固醇（non-HDL-C）。另外，HTD1801治療能夠降低與心血管事件及T2DM患者臨床結局密切相關的炎症標記物γ-穀氨醯轉移酶（GGT）和超敏C反應蛋白（hs-CRP）。基於《中國糖尿病防治指南（2024版）》中所列標準，HTD1801治療顯著提高了患者的代謝綜合達標率。安全性和耐受性俱佳，HTD1801助力患者安心獲益兩項研究中，HTD1801皆表現出良好的安全性和耐受性，最常見的不良事件是胃腸道不良反應，與之前臨床研究結果一致。可能因不良事件停藥的受試者少於2%。未見明顯低血糖風險。臨床試驗的主要研究者，前國際糖尿病聯盟（IDF）副主席、北京大學糖尿病中心主任、北京大學人民醫院內分泌和代謝科主任紀立農教授指出："這些積極的試驗結果提示HTD1801將為廣大T2DM患者帶來更新、更好的治療選擇。HTD1801作為中國源頭創新品種，通過激活AMPK及抑制NLRP3發揮其生物學活性，不同於目前已上市的任何T2DM治療藥物。它作為可為患者帶來綜合獲益的口服治療方案，不僅能夠降糖，還能夠改善血脂代謝和抗炎，具有降低糖尿病相關併發症的潛力，為未滿足的臨床需求提供了潛在的解決方案。期待它在臨床應用上的不斷拓展，造福患者。當前各個製藥企業一窩蜂式的將大量的資金投入到GLP-1 相關產品的開發上，忽略了其他機制降糖藥物的開發，這可能從總體上延緩了治療糖尿病的創新藥物研發進程。GLP-1相關藥物雖然被臨床研究顯示有巨大的臨床價值，但不可能是治療糖尿病的終極武器，我們仍然需要開發更多的能進一步滿足糖尿病治療中未被滿足需求的藥物。"君聖泰醫藥的創始人兼首席執行官劉利平博士表示："我們向參與這些關鍵研究的患者致以最誠摯的感謝。HTD1801代謝調節並抑制炎症的創新雙重機制代表著糖尿病治療領域的重大突破。我們期待在後續分享這兩項研究的28周開放延長治療期數據及HTD1801頭對頭達格列淨的試驗數據，並不斷在臨床上進一步挖掘HTD1801的價值，為廣大代謝慢病患者提供基於中國智慧的、綜合獲益的解決方案。"關於2型糖尿病（T2DM）隨著生活飲食的變化，T2DM已經成為全球性的規模空前的流行疾病。根據國際糖尿病聯盟（IDF）統計，2021年有5.37億成年人（20-79歲）患有糖尿病，預計到2045年將增至 7.83 億（即每8個成年人中就有1人患有糖尿病），其中90%為T2DM。中國是全球糖尿病患者人數最多的國家，2021年患者人數約為1.41億人，預計2045年將增至1.74億人。目前，糖尿病每年導致超過600萬人死亡，該疾病及其相關的一系列代謝問題，給社會和人民帶來了沉重的負擔。為應對這一急迫挑戰，臨床上急需為患者帶來綜合獲益的創新療法。關於熊去氧膽小檗堿（HTD1801）熊去氧膽小檗堿（HTD1801）是一種靶向腸-肝系統的口服抗炎及代謝調節劑，正在開發用於治療代謝及消化系統疾病。HTD1801作為熊去氧膽酸和小檗堿形成的離子鹽，是一種具有獨特雙機制的新分子實體，通過激活AMPK及抑制NLRP3發揮其生物學活性。這兩種關鍵機制與改善胰島素抵抗、葡萄糖代謝、脂質代謝和肝臟炎症相關，為複雜代謝性疾病的治療提供綜合性解決方案。HTD1801針對多個適應症進行臨床開發，除了T2DM，針對代謝相關脂肪性肝炎（MASH）的有效性已在臨床2a期研究被驗證，全球多中心 2b期臨床試驗正在順利推進，預計2025年公佈試驗結果。關於君聖泰醫藥君聖泰醫藥（股票代碼：2511.HK）是一家全球一體化的新型生物技術公司，專注代謝性疾病領域的重大未滿足臨床需求。以"標本兼治、深求治癒"這一DeepCure理念為目標，立足源頭創新，開發First-in-Class的原創新藥，以期為全球患者提供基於中國智慧的，安全、有效、綜合獲益的解決方案。基於自主知識產權，公司已構建豐富產品管線，在全球推進多項中、後期臨床試驗，開發代謝相關脂肪性肝炎（MASH）、2型糖尿病（T2DM）、嚴重高甘油三酯血症（SHTG）和原發性硬化性膽管炎（PSC）等適應症。作為同類首創的多靶點新分子實體，熊去氧膽小檗堿（HTD1801）被美國FDA授予2項"快速通道資格認定"、1項"孤兒藥資格認定"，並獲得國家"十三五-重大新藥創制"科技重大專項支持。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年4月9日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 中國抗體製藥有限公司（「中國抗體」或「本公司」；股份代號：3681）宣佈，其SM17針對中重度特應性皮炎（AD）的創新療法已完成1b期臨床研究，並獲得突破性頂線數據結果。SM17是一種靶向IL-25（IL-17E）受體通路的新型研究性生物製劑，其獨特機制是通過結合IL-25（一種關鍵警報素）的共受體以阻斷下游信號傳導，從而抑制IL-25觸發的炎症級聯反應。SM17的競爭優勢：- 首個兼具雙重療效達標的AD生物製劑 - 與已上市產品相比，這是首個也是目前唯一一個治療期終點實現NRS-41應答率和EASI-752應答率都超過60%3治療AD的生物製劑。- 較抗IL-4/13藥物起效更快、止癢更深4 - SM17止癢效果最早第2週顯現（已上市藥物通常為4~6週），SM17治療結束時NRS-4應答率超過90%（已上市藥物通常為30~40%）。- 較JAK抑制劑更安全5 - 未報告嚴重不良事件（SAE）或≥3級藥物相關不良事件（TRAE），嚴重感染及主要不良心血管事件（MACE）風險極低。1 NRS-4：瘙癢峰值數值評價指標（PP-NRS）週平均值自基線改善≥4分2 EASI-75：濕疹面積與嚴重程度指數（EASI）改善≥75%3 SM171b期實際應答率，NRS-4:91.7%，EASI-75:75.0%4 度普利尤單抗注射液（達必妥）說明書,SOLO-1 & SOLO-2臨床試驗5 烏帕替尼緩釋片（瑞福）說明書,Measure Up 1 & Measure Up 2臨床試驗本次1b期研究評估了SM17兩種劑量（200mg與600mg）在中重度AD患者中的安全性及療效。結果顯示，SM17耐受性良好，未出現SAE或≥3級TRAE。有效性方面，SM17治療組在瘙癢緩解、皮損修復及患者生活品質等次要終點上全面優於安慰劑組。研究採用16週隨機、雙盲、安慰劑對照設計，納入32例中重度AD成人患者（多數曾對外用皮質激素治療應答不足），也納入了曾接受生物製劑（杜普利尤單抗）或JAK抑制劑（烏帕替尼）治療的患者。至第12週時，高劑量組75.0%（9/12）患者的濕疹面積及嚴重程度指數（EASI）較基線改善≥75%（EASI-75），而安慰劑組應答率為0.0%，兩組應答率差異達75.0%（95%CI：32.00~91.11）。低劑量組50.0%（6/12）患者達到EASI-75標準，較安慰劑組應答率差異為50.0%（95%CI：9.27~74.62）。在高劑量組中，41.7%（5/12）患者第12週時達到研究者整體評估量表（vIGA-AD™）0分（完全清除）或1分（幾乎清除）且較基線改善≥2分（vIGA-AD 0/1），較安慰劑組差異為41.7%（95%CI：2.28~68.05）。低劑量組該項應答率為25.0%（3/12），差異為25.0%（95%CI：-11.22~53.23）。尤為突出的是，高劑量組有91.7%（11/12）的患者于第12週時達到瘙癢峰值數字評分量表（PP-NRS）週平均值較基線改善≥4分（NRS-4），而安慰劑組該項指標無應答患者。即便在低劑量組，也有66.7%（8/12）患者的實現該終點應答，與安慰劑組形成鮮明對比。在起效時間方面，無論高劑量組或低劑量組，SM17均在給藥後第2週時即顯現顯著止癢效果。隨著治療推進，至第12週時，高、低劑量組PP-NRS評分較基線平均降低幅度分別達68%和57%，顯著優於安慰劑組（18%）。兩個治療組的止癢效果持續維持至第16週，即末次給藥（第10週）後6週。皮膚損傷修復改善趨勢和止癢效果類似，兩個治療組第12週EASI評分較基線平均降幅分別為73%（高劑量組）和57%（低劑量組），而安慰劑組平均降幅為42%。此外，本次1b期研究還達成了EASI50和EASI90的12週評估終點，並在SCORAD評分、AD體表面積（BSA）以及患者生活品質問卷（DLQI）等其他皮膚修復指標上均明顯優於安慰劑組。主要療效終點結果匯總如下表所示：終點SM17高劑量（N=12）SM17 低劑量（N=12）安慰劑（N=8）EASI 50（%）第12週83.366.725.0第16週91.758.325.0EASI 75 (%)第12週75.0500.0第16週41.741.70.0EASI 90 (%)第12週41.716.70.0第16週41.741.70.0IGA 0/1 (%)第12週41.725.00.0第16週33.341.70.0NRS-4（%）第12週91.766.70.0第16週75.058.325.0本次研究的安全性研究結果，與SM17在美國1期和中國1a期橋接研究中觀察到的安全性特徵總體一致。在SM17治療組中，最常見的治療引致不良事件（TEAEs，發生率≥10%）為鼻咽炎和尿路感染，治療組合併發生率與安慰劑組發生率的差異小於5%。中國抗體主席、執行董事兼首席執行官梁瑞安博士表示：「SM17有望成為特應性皮炎（AD）領域的全球首創且同類最優療法。該市場單個革命性藥物即可實現數十億美元年收入。對於大多數中重度AD患者而言，瘙癢是最關注的臨床症狀，而由瘙癢引發的搔抓行為很可能是導致AD慢性炎症反復發作的關鍵驅動因素。SM17不僅具備優異的安全性特徵，其皮損清除效果與現有最優療法相當，更在患者最迫切的未滿足臨床需求 - 快速緩解瘙癢方面展現卓越療效。通過填補當前治療方案的這些關鍵空白，SM17有望重新定義這一頑固性疾病的治療標準。我們正加速臨床開發並積極尋求合作，以拓展其全球影響力。下一步我們將啟動中重度AD成人患者的2期試驗。此外，臨床前研究還顯示SM17對哮喘、慢性鼻竇炎伴鼻息肉（CRSwNP）及特發性肺纖維化（IPF）等Th2驅動疾病具有治療潛力，在AD治療以外具備廣闊的首創且最優療法的應用前景。」關於特應性皮炎市場特應性皮炎（AD）是一種慢性炎症性皮膚疾病，其發病機制複雜，涉及遺傳易感性、皮膚屏障功能障礙、免疫系統失調及環境因素等多重作用。該疾病的免疫學特徵以Th2型免疫反應為主導，涉及胸腺基質淋巴細胞生成素（TSLP）、白細胞介素（IL-4、IL-13、IL-5、IL-33、IL-31）、OX40及JAK/STAT信號通路等多種介質。AD通常在嬰兒期發病，約50%患者在1歲前出現症狀，病程呈慢性反復發作特徵。流行病學研究顯示，全球AD患者至少為2.3億人。中國患者規模尤為龐大，超過7000萬人，其中中重度病例佔比約28%。相比之下，美國成人AD患者約1650萬人，中重度病例佔比約40%。根據Precedence Research資料，2023年全球AD藥物市場規模為136.2億美元，預計到2034年將增長至314.4億美元。現有治療手段包括局部用藥（如糖皮質激素[TCS]、鈣調磷酸酶抑制劑[TCI]）、口服抗組胺藥和生物製劑等，其療效各異且各具優缺點。其中外用糖皮質激素（TCS）、外用鈣調磷酸酶抑制劑（TCI）、口服抗組胺藥物等治療仍是目前治療特應性皮炎的常用方法，而度普利尤單抗（Dupilumab）等現有療法已顯著改善患者生活，但其局限性（如起效慢、止癢效果不足、長期使用安全性問題）仍令大量患者需求未被滿足。另一款藥物JAK抑制劑烏帕替尼則存在用藥安全性的問題。2024年，度普利尤單抗全球銷售額突破140億美元，印證AD市場的巨大潛力，也推動藥企加速開發差異化療法。當前，AD賽道競爭焦點主要集中於靶點創新：中國和全球AD臨床在研TOP10靶點中有7個靶點重合，且前2大靶點均為IL-4Rα和JAK1；從臨床分期來看，中國處於3期及以後臨床階段的佔比僅約14%，低於全球的23%（不含2/3期），說明國內仍以Fast-Follow為主；國內靶點集中度更高，TOP3靶點（IL-4Rα、JAK1和PDE4）臨床數量佔比高達46%，相比之下，全球AD臨床靶點分佈更為均衡。關於SM17SM17是全球首創（First-in-Class）的人源化IgG4-κ單克隆抗體，也是首個靶向IL-25受體的同類藥物，具有治療特應性皮炎（AD）、哮喘、特發性肺纖維化及其他免疫疾病的潛力。SM17通過結合2型固有淋巴細胞（ILC2s）和輔助性T細胞（Th2）表面的IL-25受體（又稱IL-17RB），阻斷IL-25誘導的級聯反應，抑制下游Th2細胞因數（如IL-4、IL-9和IL-13）的釋放。IL-25是一種被歸類為「警報素」的關鍵細胞因數，研究證實其與自身免疫性及炎症性皮膚病的發病機制密切相關，尤其在AD中作用顯著。目前獲批的AD療法（包括生物製劑）雖能顯著改善濕疹面積與嚴重程度指數（EASI）及患者生活品質，但仍存在起效緩慢（尤其是止癢效果）或安全性問題。憑藉其創新作用機制，SM17有望成為AD治療的新選擇，甚至更優方案 - 其止癢起效迅速、皮損修復效果顯著且安全性良好，可解決當前療法未滿足的臨床需求。靶向受體（IL-25R）與靶向配體（IL-25）的差異以AD為例，受刺激的皮膚會持續釋放IL-25，而直接中和IL-25的抗體療法無法快速緩解症狀。SM17的獨特之處在於以非競爭性方式阻斷IL-25受體亞基（IL-17RB）。我們的內部資料表明，SM17在不影響IL-25與受體結合的情況下阻斷信號傳導，從而快速抑制由IL-25和IL-25受體相互作用引發的瘙癢和炎症反應。此外，細胞表面受體數量有限。當SM17完全佔據這些受體後，無論IL-25釋放量多少，信號傳導均被終止。這一機制使得SM17能實現快速、持久的抑制效果，且無需高劑量給藥。相比之下，靶向IL-25的抗體需直接中和配體。由於AD患者皮膚持續釋放IL-25，此類療法必須使用高劑量以「清除」新釋放的IL-25，導致瘙癢和炎症緩解延遲。關於中國抗體製藥有限公司中國抗體製藥有限公司聚焦研究、開發、生產及商業化免疫性疾病療法。中國抗體的總部位於香港，研發基地位於香港，生產基地位於中國。公司注重科技研發，其旗艦產品舒西利單抗（Suciraslimab, SM03）為全球首項潛在用以治療類風濕關節炎及其他免疫疾病的抗CD22單抗。舒西利單抗已在中國完成類風濕關節炎3 期臨床試驗，並正待中國國家藥監局批准治療類風濕關節炎的上市銷售批准。此外，本公司還有多個全球首創在研藥物，部分已處於臨床階段，適應症覆蓋類風濕關節炎、乾燥綜合症、系統性紅斑狼瘡、特應性皮炎、特發性肺纖維化、哮喘等具有重大未滿足臨床需求的疾病。新聞垂詢縱橫財經公關顧問有限公司吳慧怡 電話：+852 2864 4831馮靜儀 電話：+852 2114 4939雷遠睿 電話：+852 2114 2881程梓豪 電話：+852 2864 4894電郵：sprg_sinomab@sprg.com.hk Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

SinoMab BioScience Limited Breakthrough Phase 1b POC Results for SM17 in Atopic Dermatitis

HONG KONG, Apr 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SinoMab BioScience Limited (Stock Code: 3681.HK, “SinoMab” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce our breakthrough topline results from the completed Phase 1b clinical study evaluating SM17, a novel investigational therapy targeting the IL-25 (IL-17E) receptor pathway in moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD). SM17 uniquely binds to the co-receptor for IL-25, a key alarmin, and blocks downstream signaling – disrupting the inflammatory cascade driven by IL-25 engagement.SM17 Competitive Advantages:- First AD biologic with dual efficacy --- first and the only AD biologic that could reach both NRS-41 and EASI-752 responder rate over 60%3 simultaneously at end of treatment (EOT), comparing to marketed product.- Faster and deeper itch relief than anti-IL-4/13 agents4--- onset of anti-pruritus effect as early as Week 2 (SM17) vs Week 4~6 (other agents), over 90% of patients achieved NRS-4 (SM17) vs 30~40% of patients (other agents) at EOT.- Safer than JAK inhibitors5 --- No serious adverse events (SAEs) nor drug related Grade 3 or above adverse events (AEs) reported， minimum risk of serious infections or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).1 NRS-4: a peak pruritus numeric rating scale (PP-NRS) weekly mean score with a ≥4-point reduction from baseline2 EASI-75: ≥75% reduction from baseline in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score3 SM17 ph1b NRS-4 responder rate:91.7%, EASI-75 responder rate 75.0%4 Dupixent@ Prescribing information, SOLO-1 & SOLO-2 studies5 RINVOQ@ Prescribing information, Measure Up 1 & Measure Up 2 studiesThis Phase1b study, which evaluated two doses level of SM17 (200mg and 600mg, respectively), met its primary endpoints manifested as the safety profiles in patients with moderate-to-severe AD by demonstrating that SM17 was well-tolerated with no serious adverse event (SAE) or treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) with grade 3 or above. In terms of efficacy, this study met all the secondary endpoints assessing pruritus, skin healing and AD patients’ quality of life by demonstrating remarkable differences between SM17 treatment groups and placebo group.This study was a 16-week, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to assess the tolerability, safety and efficacy of SM17 monotherapy in 32 adults with moderate-to-severe AD, most of whom were previously inadequate responder to topical corticosteroids (TCS). Patients with a history of biologic (Dupilumab) or systemic Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor medication (Upadacitinib) were also enrolled in the study.At week 12, 75.0% of patients（9 /12） in the higher dose group achieved ≥75% reduction from baseline in EASI-75, vs. 0.0% of patients in the placebo group, with difference of responder rate as 75.0%（95% CI：32.00~91.11）. In the lower dose group, 50.0% of patients (6/12) achieved EASI-75, a 50.0% difference vs. placebo (95%CI：9.27~74.62).In the higher dose group, 41.7% of patients (5/12) achieved a validated Investigator's Global Assessment for Atopic Dermatitis (vIGA-AD™) score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with a ≥2-point reduction from baseline (vIGA-AD 0/1) at week 12, representing a 41.7% difference vs. placebo (95%CI: 2.28~68.05). In the lower dose group, 25.0% of patients (3/12) achieved this endpoint, a 25.0% difference vs. placebo (95%CI: -11.22~53.23).It is particularly noteworthy that 91.7% of patients (11/12) in the higher dose group achieved a peak pruritus numeric rating scale (PP-NRS) weekly mean score with a ≥4-point reduction from baseline (NRS-4) at week 12, vs. 0.0% of patients in the placebo group. Even in the lower dose group, 66.7% of patients (8/12) achieved this endpoint, remarkably different to that of the placebo group.With regard to the onset of action, SM17 showed obvious anti-pruritus effect as early as week 2 after the initial dose, in either the higher or the lower dose group. The altitude of improvement in pruritus for SM17 treatment groups increased alongside with dosing and reached a mean level of 68% and 57% reduction from baseline in PP-NRS score at week 12, for higher and lower dose groups, respectively, vs. 18% for placebo group. Improvement in pruritus was also maintained for both SM17 treatment groups until week 16, which was 6 weeks away from last dosing (week 10). Improvement in skin healing showed similar trends, with a mean level of 73% and 57% reduction from baseline in EASI score at week 12 for the 2 treatment groups，vs. a mean level of 42% reduction from baseline in placebo group.In addition, this Phase 1b study also met the endpoint of EASI 50 and EASI 90 at week 12, as well as superior improvement comparing to placebo in other skin healing measures as SCORAD and AD body surface area (BSA), or patients’ life quality questionnaire - Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).Major efficacy endpoints results were summarized in the table below.EndpointsSM17 Higher dose (N=12)SM17 Lower dose (N=12)Placebo (N=12)EASI 50(%)Week1283.366.725.0Week1691.758.325.0EASI 75 (%)Week1275.0500.0Week1641.741.70.0EASI 90 (%)Week1241.716.70.0Week1641.741.70.0IGA 0/1 (%)Week1241.725.00.0Week1633.341.70.0NRS-4 (%)Week1291.766.70.0Week1675.058.325.0Safety findings were generally consistent with the safety profile of SM17 previously observed in US Phase 1 and China Phase 1a bridging study. The most frequent TEAEs (≥10%) in SM17 groups were nasopharyngitis and urinary tract infection，with the overall incidence rate difference between the treatment group and the placebo group being less than 5%.Dr. Shui On LEUNG, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SinoMab, said, "SM17 has the potential to become a first- and best-in-class therapy for atopic dermatitis (AD), a market where a single transformative therapy can achieve multibillion-dollar (US) annual revenue. Pruritus is the primary concern for most of the patients with moderate-to-severe AD，and scratching behavior triggered by itch is likely the key driving factor in recurrent chronic inflammatory cycle in AD. With a favorable safety profile and skin clearance comparable to the most effective existing therapies, SM17 also delivers exceptional efficacy in itch relief – the most critical unmet need for patients. By addressing these key gaps in current treatment options, SM17 is positioned to redefine the standard of care for this debilitating condition. We are accelerating our clinical programs and actively pursuing partnerships to maximize its global impact. Next, we anticipate initiating Phase 2 trials in adults with moderate-to-severe AD. Notably, preclinical studies have shown promising results for SM17 in treating other Type 2 allergic diseases such as asthma, Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps (CRSwNP) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). These findings suggest that SM17 could become a versatile therapeutic for a range of Th2-driven diseases, extending its potential beyond AD as a first- and best-in-class option."About Atopic Dermatitis MarketAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a complex pathogenesis involving genetic predisposition, skin barrier dysfunction, immune system dysregulation, and environmental factors. The immunological characteristics of AD are dominated by the Th2 axis, involving mediators such as TSLP, IL-4, IL-13, IL-5, IL-33, IL-31, OX40, and the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. AD typically begins in infancy, with about 50% of patients developing symptoms before the age of one. The disease follows a chronic and relapsing course.Epidemiological studies indicate that there are at least 230 million AD patients worldwide, with China having a substantial patient population exceeding 70 million, of which moderate-to-severe cases account for approximately 28%. In comparison, the U.S. has an estimated 16.5 million adult AD patients, with moderate-to-severe cases making up around 40%.According to Precedence Research, the global AD drug market was value at 13.62 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach 13.62 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach 31.44 billion by 2034. Current treatment options vary in efficacy and include topical medications (e.g., corticosteroids [TCS], calcineurin inhibitors [TCI]), oral antihistamines, and biologics, each with its own advantages and limitations.While conventional therapies like TCS, TCI, and oral antihistamines remain standard treatments, biologics such as dupilumab have significantly improved patients' quality of life. However, limitations such as slow onset, insufficient itch relief, and long-term safety concerns leave many patients' needs unmet. Another drug, the JAK inhibitor upadacitinib, faces safety-related challenges. In 2024, dupilumab's global sales surpassed $14 billion, highlighting the immense potential of the AD market and driving pharmaceutical companies to accelerate the development of differentiated therapies. Currently, competition in the AD field is primarily focused on target innovation: Among the top 10 AD clinical targets in China and globally, seven overlap, with IL-4Rα and JAK1 being the top two. In terms of clinical phases, only 14% of China's AD trials are in Phase 3 or later, compared to 23% globally (excluding Phase 2/3 trials), indicating that China's strategy remains largely fast-follow. Moreover, China's target landscape is more concentrated, with the top three targets (IL-4Rα, JAK1, and PDE4) accounting for 46% of clinical trials, whereas global AD clinical targets are more evenly distributed.About SM17SM17 is a novel, First-in-Class (FIC), humanized, IgG4-κ monoclonal antibody, which is a global first in-class monoclonal antibody drug targeting IL-25 receptor with the potential for treating AD, asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and other immunological disorders. SM17 could suppress Type 2 helper T (Th2) immune responses by binding to IL-25 receptor (also known as IL-17RB) on Type 2 Innate Lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and Th2 cells, to block a cascade of responses induced by IL-25 and suppress the release of the downstream Th2 cytokines such as IL-4, IL-9 and IL-13. IL-25 is a critical cytokine classified as ‘‘alarmin’’, which has shown to be implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and inflammatory skin diseases, especially in AD. Current approved therapies for AD, including biologics, can significantly improve eczema area and severity index (EASI) and patient’s quality of life, but they either are slow in response, especially in anti-pruritic effect, or have safety concerns. With the novel mechanism of action, SM17 hopefully will become a new and probably better treatment option for AD, which is fast in anti-pruritic response, effective in skin healing and safe, addressing the unmet medical needs not covered by current treatment modalities.About Differences in Targeting the Receptor (IL-25R) vs the Ligand (IL-25)Using AD as a model, stimulated skin will continuously release IL-25, and neutralizing IL-25 with antibodies does not instantly impart relief. SM17 uniquely blocks one of the IL-25 receptor subunits (IL-17RB) in a non-competitive manner. We have in-house data supporting that SM17 can block receptor signal transduction without affecting IL-25 engagement with the receptor, so SM17 can provide fast anti-pruritic and anti-inflammatory effects arising from IL-25/IL-25 receptor interactions.Additionally, the number of receptors on cell surface is limited, and if sufficient antibodies against the receptor are added and all receptors blocked, therapeutic response will persist regardless of the amount of IL-25 released. This is the case for SM17, which blocks the limited number of receptors on cell surface. Once fully occupied, it stops the signaling regardless of IL-25 levels. This allows a fast, long-lasting inhibition and avoids high-dose requirements.Contrarily, antibodies targeting IL-25 must neutralize the ligand directly, while AD skin continuously releases IL-25 such that anti-IL-25 therapies require high doses to “mop-up” all newly released IL-25. This delays itch and inflammation relief.About SinoMab BioScience LimitedSinoMab BioScience Limited is dedicated to the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of therapeutics for the treatment of immunological diseases. SinoMab is headquartered in Hong Kong with its R&D base in Hong Kong and production base in mainland China. The Company's flagship product Suciraslimab (SM03) is a potential global first-in-class mAb against CD22 for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other immunological diseases. SM03 (Suciraslimab) has completed the Phase 3 clinical trial for RA in China and is pending NMPA’s marketing approval for RA in China. In addition, the Company possesses other potential first-in-class drug candidates, some of which are already in clinical stage, with their indications covering rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjogren’s syndrome (SS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), atopic dermatitis (AD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), asthma, and other diseases with major unmet clinical needs.Media enquiriesStrategic Financial Relations LimitedVeron Ng Tel: +852 2864 4831Phoenix Fung Tel: +852 2114 4939Shannon Lei Tel: +852 2114 2881Will Cheng Tel: +852 2864 4894Email: sprg_sinomab@sprg.com.hk Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
