· Rivoceranib+camrelizumab is named a preferred first-line treatment of liver cancer in China

SEOUL, South Korea, April 17, 2024 (IT Times) - HLB announced that its new liver cancer drug, the combination of rivoceranib and camrelizumab, has been designated as a "preferred regimen" for the first-line treatment of liver cancer in the recently released "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Liver Cancer" by the National Health Commission (NHC) of the People's Republic of China.
China's New Liver Cancer Treatment Guidelines Favor HLB's Drug
On April 15th, NHC held a press conference to unveil the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary Liver Cancer (2024 Edition)," considered the Chinese equivalent of the US National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. These guidelines serve as a resource for medical professionals and researchers, outlining optimal treatment regimens for improved efficacy and safety in liver cancer treatment.
The NHC specifically highlighted the combination of rivoceranib and camrelizumab as the only "combination of a neoangiogenic TKI inhibitor and an immune checkpoint inhibitor" to demonstrate superior efficacy compared to existing treatments in first-line liver cancer therapy. The designation as a preferred therapy stems from the key findings of a global phase III study published in the esteemed medical journal, The Lancet. This study revealed a median overall survival (mOS) of 22.1 months for the combination of rivoceranib and camrelizumab, marking the longest survival ever achieved in a liver cancer clinical trial.
HLB Seeks US NCCN Inclusion and Expects Approval
Furthermore, Elevar Therapeutics, a wholly owned subsidiary of HLB, recently submitted an application for inclusion in the US NCCN guidelines. The US NCCN guidelines hold significant weight for physicians and researchers globally, and inclusion typically translates to increased preference for NCCN-recommended drugs in cancer treatment. HLB anticipates a smooth approval process and inclusion in the NCCN guidelines, paving the way for a major new drug approval and subsequent sales surge expected in the third quarter.
"With the preferred therapy designation in China and the completion of the US NCCN application, the superior therapeutic effect of the rivoceranib combination therapy compared to competing drugs has gained official recognition," said Han Yong-hae, CTO of HLB Group. "We are confident in a swift NCCN approval in the US, coinciding with the new drug approval, and anticipate a significant sales increase from the third quarter onwards."
