2026 ASCO Abstract Highlights: Innovent Biologics' IBI363 (PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific fusion protein) Demonstrates Robust Survival Benefits in Long-Term Follow-up of PoC Study in Advanced Immunotherapy-Resistant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Updated data showed 86.4% response and 100% disease control in the 3→1.5 mg/kg group, supporting further testing against pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy.
On Thursday, Innovent Biologics announced preliminary clinical study results for IBI363, a first-in-class PD-1/IL-2α-bias bispecific fusion protein, at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting.
IBI363 targets the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway while selectively activating the IL-2 pathway to ignite immunity, aiming to overcome resistance in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer .
The study reports an 86.4% objective response rate in the 3×1.5 mg/kg dose group, with grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events occurring in 65.2% of patients receiving this regimen.
Innovent identified 3×1.5 mg/kg as the recommended dose, launching a randomized head-to-head trial comparing this regimen against pembrolizumab for first-line treatment of advanced NSCLC.
Under a 2025 license agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, Innovent will co-develop the drug globally while Takeda exclusively commercializes it outside the United States and China.
