Minghui Pharmaceutical and Qilu Pharmaceutical Co-Announces Updated Clinical Data of MHB088C (QLC5508) from Phase I/II study in Heavily Pretreated mCRPC Patients at 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting
Updated Phase I/II data showed durable disease control and manageable safety, with 12-month radiographic progression-free survival at 71.7%, Minghui said.
On Monday, June 1, 2026, Minghui Pharmaceutical announced updated clinical data for MHB088C during the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting, evaluating the investigational therapy in heavily treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients.
The Phase 1/2 study enrolled 59 patients with extensive prior treatment: 74.6% had received three or more prior therapy lines and 84.7% had prior taxane exposure, representing a heavily pretreated population with limited alternatives.
Patients treated at the 2.0 mg/kg dose achieved a 12-month rPFS rate of 78.6%, while the overall cohort reached 71.7%; Grade 3 adverse events included anemia at 23.7% and neutrophil count decrease at 25.4%.
Guoqing Cao, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Minghui Pharmaceutical, stated the findings "further reinforce the potential of MHB088C as a differentiated therapeutic option" for patients with limited alternatives after multiple prior therapies.
Qilu Pharmaceutical holds development and commercialization rights in Greater China, while Minghui retains global rights outside that region and continues advancing combination studies with its investigational PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody.
