Sino Biopharmaceutical announced that its subsidiary LaNova Medicines presented preliminary clinical data at a major cancer research conference for MK-2010/LM-299, an investigational PD-1/VEGF tetravalent bispecific antibody for advanced solid tumors. The candidate, licensed globally to Merck for development and commercialization, is designed to combine immune checkpoint inhibition with anti-angiogenic effects in a single IgG-VHH fusion molecule. In a Phase 1/2 study involving 112 heavily pretreated patients, MK-2010/LM-299 showed a manageable safety profile with no treatment-related deaths and limited high-grade toxicities, while VEGF-related side effects were generally controllable. Early efficacy signals in first-line non-small cell lung cancer were notable, with an overall response rate of 55% at the 20 mg/kg dosing level and 44% at 30 mg/kg, supporting continued development of the drug as both a monotherapy and in combination regimens. These results highlight Sino Biopharmaceutical’s growing role in innovative oncology biologics and underscore the strategic value of its alliance with Merck in advancing MK-2010/LM-299 globally. Positive early data may enhance the company’s scientific standing, potentially strengthen its oncology pipeline positioning and offer future upside for patients and stakeholders if further trials confirm safety and efficacy. The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1177) stock is a Buy with a HK$8.70 price target.
