Other information related to 2. drugs
According to data released by GLOBOCAN 2022, annual new cases of breast cancer worldwide in 2022
The number of cases reached 2.31 million, the number of deaths reached 670000, the highest incidence of cancer in women in the world. In China, the number of new breast cancer cases will reach 357000 and the number of deaths will reach 75000 in 2022, accounting for 15.5 and 11.2 per cent of global cases, respectively. Among them, triple negative breast cancer accounts for about 10% to 15% of all breast cancers, which has the characteristics of strong invasion, high recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Triple-negative breast cancer is not sensitive to targeted therapy and endocrine therapy, and lacks specific treatment. The current treatment of advanced triple-negative breast cancer in China is still chemotherapy.
However, no matter single drug or combination chemotherapy are ineffective, the median survival time is about 9 to 12 months, 5 years
The survival rate is less than 30%.
The approval of this new indication is mainly based on the TORCHLIGHT study (NCT04085276), which is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center phase III clinical study, which is jointly carried out in 56 centers across the country by the vice chairman and secretary-general of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) and Professor Jiang Zefei from the Department of Oncology of the PLA General Hospital. In February 2023, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) determined in an interim analysis that the primary endpoint of the TORCHLIGHT study reached the pre-programmed excellence boundary value, making TORCHLIGHT study the first Phase III registration study in China to achieve positive results in the field of immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer.
In January 2024, the top international medical journal Nature-Medicine (Nature Medicine, influence factors
Sub: 58.7) published the results of TORCHLIGHT interim studies. The results showed that compared with paclitaxel for injection (albumin-bound), teripilimumab combined with paclitaxel for injection (albumin-bound) for patients with first diagnosed stage IV or recurrent and metastatic triple-negative breast cancer can significantly prolong the progression-free survival (hereinafter referred to as "PFS") of PD-L1-positive patients, and the overall survival (hereinafter referred to as "OS") has also reached a benefit trend, achieving a zero breakthrough in immunotherapy for advanced triple-negative breast cancer in China. Among them, the median PFS in the teripilimab group was 8.4 months, and the risk of disease progression or death was reduced by 35%(P = 0.0102). The median OS in the teripilimab group was prolonged by 13.3 months (32.8 months vs 19.5 months), and the risk of death was reduced by 38%(P = 0.0148). The safety data of teripilimab were consistent with the known risks, and no new safety signals were found.
Treprolizumab injection is the first domestic monoclonal antibody drug with PD-1 as the target approved for marketing in China. It has won the highest national patent award "China Patent Gold Award". So far, it has been carried out in the world (including China, the United States, Southeast Asia and Europe) more than 40 clinical studies initiated by the company covering more than 15 indications. Ongoing or completed pivotal registry clinical studies have evaluated the safety and efficacy of teripilimumab in multiple tumor species. As of the disclosure date of this announcement, 10 indications for Treplimab have been approved in Mainland China. In December 2020, Treplimab injections passed the national health care negotiations for the first time, and currently
