Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co. Ltd. and Coherus Biosciences Inc. have disclosed positive data from a phase III trial of the anti-PD-1 antibody toripalimab in combination with chemotherapy in China. Though already approved for several indications, they’re seeking to position it as a first-line treatment of advanced squamous or non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The final data largely confirmed interim findings from the study, first reported in August 2021.
Coherus Biosciences Inc. and partner Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co. Ltd. continued to build their case for the anti-PD-1 antibody toripalimab, popping the lid off positive interim data from the pivotal, combination phase III study called Choice-01 in first-line advanced squamous or non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co. Ltd. could receive an aggregate $1.1 billion from Coherus Biosciences Inc. for the rights to develop and commercialize Junshi’s anti-PD-1 antibody toripalimab in the U.S. and Canada. The deal is powered by Coherus’ core biosimilar business and is designed to steer the company into the business of immuno-oncology.

HONG KONG – Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co. Ltd.’s toripalimab has reached its prespecified primary endpoint of progression-free survival at the interim analysis of a phase III study in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as efforts to expand approval of the anti-PD-1 antibody into other cancer types are underway.
