The only new PD-1 monoclonal antibody that applies the IgG1 subtype with modified Fc domain
安尼可® (PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody, Penpulimab injection)
安尼可® (PD-1 Monoclonal Antibody, Penpulimab Injection) is currently the only differentiated PD-1 monoclonal antibody that applies the IgG1 subtype with modified Fc-nulldomain, which can more effectively enhance immunotherapeutic efficacy and reduce immune-related adverse reactions. It is used in the treatment of major diseases such as lung cancer, lymphoma, nasopharyngeal cancer, liver cancer, and gastric cancer, with improved safety and efficacy as demonstrated in clinical studies.
安尼可® has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) for ：
1.The first-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) in combination with chemotherapy;
2.The first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic squamous NSCLC;
3.The treatment of relapsed or refractory classical Hodgkin's lymphoma (r/r cHL) after at least second-line systemic therapy;
4.The third-line treatment of metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer chemotherapy.
In addition, the clinical trials of 安尼可® for the treatment of liver cancer and gastric cancer are progressing efficiently.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Penpulimab-kcqx (安尼可®) in combination with cisplatin or carboplatin and gemcitabine for the first-line treatment of adult recurrent or metastatic non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). FDA also approved penpulimab-kcqx as a single agent for adults with metastatic non-keratinizing NPC with disease progression on or after platinum-based chemotherapy and with at least one other prior line of therapy.
Second-generation PD-1 monoclonal antibody with an optimized structure and better efficiency and safety
① IgG1 subtype：It has better therapeutic effect with stability more than 100 times that of natural IgG4; it won’t bind with other IgG, and mediates no immune escape; it has lower host protein residue, and reduces fevers and infusion reactions caused by host protein;
② Fc modification：It completely removes ADCC/ADCP/CDC, avoids phagocytosis or killing of immune cells, reduces ADCR, enhances efficacy by reducing IL-8 release, and decreases irAE by reducing IL-6 release;
③ Fab optimization：It binds strongly to PD-1 and dissociates slowly with high affinity and low EC50, effectively activates immune cells with excellent specificity, and causes no adverse reactions due to activation of other pathways.

Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a malignant tumor that affects the lymph nodes and lymphatic system. Classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) is the most common type, accounting for about 95% of cases. Hodgkin’s lymphoma has a recurrence rate of 10–30% after first-line treatment and about 5–10% of patients have primary refractory diseases.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor with the highest mortality rate and the second highest morbidity in the world. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 80–85% of all lung cancer cases.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common malignancies. Globally, more than 700,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. More than 60% of HNSCC patients are locally advanced or advanced at initial diagnosis, and more than 50% of locally advanced HNSCC cases develop recurrence or metastasis within 3 years.
·Extensive clinical studies have been carried out on Penpulimab in the treatment of gastric cancer, head and neck tumors, hematomas and etc..
