We are a clinical stage global biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies to improve clinical outcomes for patients with high unmet medical needs. Our first-in-class lead asset, Plinabulin, which has been administered to over 700 cancer patients with generally good tolerability, is being developed as a potential “pipeline in a drug” in various cancer indications as a direct anti-cancer agent. We are also developing three small molecule immune agents, which are currently in pre-clinical stages. In addition, we founded and continue to own an equity stake in SEED Therapeutics Inc., or SEED. SEED is utilizing a proprietary Targeted Protein Degradation (TPD) drug discovery platform, or “molecular glue” technology, to develop innovative therapeutic agents from internal research and development efforts and with our collaborators on currently undruggable protein targets. SEED is partnering with Eli Lilly and Co. and Eisai Co., Ltd. to discover and develop new chemical entities through this proprietary TPD platform which could produce therapeutic benefits to patients suffering from oncology and central nervous system (CNS) disease, among others.

Our first-in-class lead asset, Plinabulin, which has been administered to over 700 cancer patients with generally good tolerability, is being developed as a potential “pipeline in a drug” in various cancer indications as a direct anti-cancer agent, and as a late stage clinical asset in second and third line NSCLC with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type, a severe unmet medical need.

The current standard of care for first-line NSCLC without driver mutations is chemotherapy plus PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, with 60% patients progress on these therapies. Once patients progress on these regimens, docetaxel, a drug approved over 25 years ago, is recommended in the second- and third-line, but it has modest clinical benefit and results in high severe neutropenia. To address the significant unmet need in this population, we have been conducting multiple studies on Plinabulin combinations. First, we completed a randomized global Phase 3 study of Plinabulin in combination with docetaxel compared with docetaxel alone for second- and third-line treatment of NSCLC, with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild type (DUBLIN-3 Phase 3 registration study). The DUBLIN-3 study enrolled 559 patients at 58 clinical sites globally and the final results from the study showed that the Plinabulin and docetaxel combination had statistically significant and clinically meaningful overall survival benefit compared to standard of care docetaxel alone. Key secondary endpoints were also achieved with additional clinically significant benefits in progression free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR), coupled with a significant reduction in grade 4 neutropenia, with over 80% reduction. The finding was published in LANCET Respiratory Medicine journal in September 2024, and at the same time we made an oral presentation at the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) conference. We plan to use our best efforts to file an NDA with the NMPA as soon as possible. In addition, our collaborators at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in China are conducting an investigator-initiated Phase 2 study (Study 303): Plinabulin in combination with Keytruda® (pembrolizumab), a PD-1 antibody, and docetaxel for the treatment of NSCLC patients who progressed from PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies. We presented clinically meaningful data of high disease control rate and prolonged PFS from this study at European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2024, Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 2024, and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2025.

Key secondary endpoints were also achieved with additional clinically significant benefits in progression free survival (PFS) and objective response rate (ORR), coupled with a significant reduction in grade 4 neutropenia, with over 80% reduction from over 33% to 5% (p<0.0001).

Previous wording

We expect each of these studies to benefit from our previous investigation of Plinabulin as an agent that has been studied in two randomized, controlled Phase 3 clinical studies to have demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in chemotherapy induced neutropenia (CIN) as an additional safety benefit. In total, over 700 patients have been treated with Plinabulin, where improvements in CIN have been repeatedly observed. Recent publication in Cancer Cell (Memon et al. 2024) suggested the mechanism for “acquired resistance” to immunotherapies could be due to “T cell exhaustion” and/or “antigen presenting cell (APC) pathway mutation”, which Plinabulin’s mechanism of DC maturation, with DC as the most potent APC, could potential target. Our strategy is to develop Plinabulin in multiple indications with the potential for Plinabulin to be an important component of the combination with chemotherapy or radiation to release real-time tumor antigen, with or without PD-1/L1 inhibitor, to re-sensitize patients who failed prior immunotherapies. To implement our strategy, we use a highly efficient business model that integrates clinical resources in the U.S. and China. We work with global contract research organizations, or CROs, such as ICON and Covance (now Labcorp), to ensure data quality with studies conducted under U.S. Good Clinical Practice requirements. Our drug development capabilities are facilitated by interest from clinical investigators in the U.S. and China, as well as by our understanding of the pharmaceutical industry, clinical resources and regulatory system in China.
