Suzhou Innovent Biologics was granted NMPA approval to start trials of a PD-1 bi-specific drug in patients with hematological and advanced solid tumors. In December, Innovent’s lead PD-1 candidate, Tyvyt® (sintilimab), was approved for marketing in China (see story). The IND approval announced today is for IBI318, which targets the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and an undisclosed tumor-associated antigen (TAA). Innovent expects the bi-specific mechanism will make the PD-1 mechanism more effective in solid tumors.
