CSPC Innovation Pharmaceutical Co Ltd Class A

CSPC Innovation Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. announced that SYS6010, developed by its controlling subsidiary CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., successfully met the primary endpoint of progression-free survival in the Phase III clinical study SYNSTAR-01 for EGFR-mutant locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer after failure of EGFR TKI therapy, as assessed by the independent data monitoring committee. PFS was significantly superior to the current treatment regimen, with statistically and clinically significant differences and a favorable safety profile. SYS6010 is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting EGFR, composed of a humanized anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody linked via a cleavable linker to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. Lung cancer ranks first in incidence and mortality among malignant tumors in China, with approximately 1.176 million new cases in 2024. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 85 percent, of which EGFR-mutant patients represent roughly 40 to 50 percent. The company stated that the drug must obtain review and approval from the National Medical Products Administration before it can be marketed and sold, with no significant impact on performance in the short term, and uncertainties remain regarding subsequent development and approval for marketing.

CSPC Innovative Pharmaceutical's controlled subsidiary CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical, in collaboration with the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed the monkeypox mRNA vaccine SYS6037 injection. Its clinical trial application has been approved by the US FDA, allowing clinical research for monkeypox prevention to proceed, with IND number 33047. The vaccine encodes multiple antigens from a single mRNA strand, featuring a streamlined technical approach. Preclinical studies show its immunogenicity and protective efficacy are superior to the live attenuated vaccine Tian Tan strain, and it demonstrates broad cross-reactivity against various orthopoxviruses. The company cautions that the drug still needs to complete clinical trials and receive FDA approval before it can be marketed. Research and development involves high investment, high risk, and long cycles, and will not have a significant impact on performance in the short term.

Shi Yao Innovation Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.'s subsidiary, Shi Yao Group Jushi Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd., has initiated a Phase Ib/II clinical trial of SYS6090 injection in combination therapy for advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. SYS6090 injection is a recombinant fully human anti-PD-1 fusion protein fused with IL-15. Preclinical studies have shown it significantly inhibits tumor growth with good safety and tolerability. The company received clinical trial approval in March 2026 and has now begun patient recruitment. The company cautions that the drug still needs to pass regulatory review before it can be marketed and will not have a significant impact on performance in the short term.

CSPC Innovation Pharmaceutical's holding subsidiary, CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical, has initiated a Phase II clinical trial of SYS6041 in combination therapy for recurrent ovarian cancer. The trial is an open-label, multi-cohort, multi-center design, approved by the National Medical Products Administration in June 2026, aiming to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor efficacy of different combination regimens. Subject recruitment and screening are currently progressing actively. SYS6041 is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting folate receptor alpha, which can specifically bind to and kill tumor cells while exerting a bystander effect. The company cautions that drug development involves high investment, high risk, and long cycles, and will not have a significant impact on performance in the short term.

Shenhuo Shares and Xinyaqiang disclosed their 2026 semi-annual reports on the evening of July 27, while Yishitong and CSPC Innovation released semi-annual earnings forecasts. All four companies showed overall improvement in first-half operating performance. Shenhuo Shares achieved operating revenue of 24.791 billion yuan, up 21.35 percent year-on-year, with net profit attributable to shareholders of 4.781 billion yuan, up 151.06 percent, mainly driven by higher selling prices for coal and electrolytic aluminum and lower alumina prices. Xinyaqiang posted operating revenue of 409 million yuan, up 27.3 percent, and net profit attributable to shareholders of 72.2408 million yuan, up 22.42 percent, as improved supply and demand in the organosilicon industry pushed core product sales to a record high. Yishitong expects operating revenue between 400 million and 420 million yuan, up 47.33 to 54.69 percent, and net profit attributable to shareholders between 9.5 million and 14 million yuan, turning from a loss to a profit year-on-year, benefiting from increased sales of lithium battery coating materials driven by the new energy vehicle and energy storage markets. CSPC Innovation expects net profit attributable to shareholders between 1.18 billion and 1.36 billion yuan, turning from a loss to a profit, as R&D achievements in its biopharmaceutical business continue to materialize.

The marketing application for envafolimab trastuzumab injection, a HER2 ADC, submitted by a controlled subsidiary of CSPC Innovation, has been accepted. The drug is intended for second-line and later treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer.

CSPC Innovation Pharmaceutical's holding subsidiary, CSPC Megalith Biopharmaceutical, has initiated a Phase III clinical trial for SYS6043. The trial is a randomized, multicenter, open-label study designed to evaluate SYS6043 versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in participants with platinum-resistant advanced ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, and fallopian tube cancer. SYS6043 is a B7-H3-targeting antibody-drug conjugate. Its antibody component can specifically bind to and internalize into tumor cells, where it is cleaved by proteases to release a small-molecule toxin that kills tumor cells and exerts a bystander effect. Meanwhile, Fc engineering reduces lymphocyte uptake to lower the risk of off-target toxicity. Megalith Biopharmaceutical received the Phase III clinical trial approval notice from the National Medical Products Administration in July 2026, and subject recruitment and screening are now actively underway. The company also cautioned that drug development involves high investment, high risk, and long cycles, and products can only be marketed after review by the National Medical Products Administration, with no significant short-term impact on financial performance.
