On 21 Aug 2021, Penpulimab injection (安尼可®) has officially begun its supply for hospitals and pharmacies across China. Penpulimab is the only new PD-1 monoclonal antibody worldwide that applies IgG1 subtype and modified by Fc segment. It is in-house developed by Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK) and in collaboration with Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group, a subsidiary of Sino Biopharmaceutical Limited (stock code: 1177.HK), for subsequent development and commercialization.
Many hospitals have prescribed Penpulimab injection for patients immediately. This marked an expanded treatment of relapsed or refractory (r/r) classic Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) and Penpulimab injection officially starts to bring benefits to patients across the country.

Penpulimab (安尼可®) is currently the only new PD-1 monoclonal antibody that applies IgG1 subtype and is modified by Fc segment, which has a lower antigen binding dissociation rate and a unique binding epitope as demonstrated by analysis on crystal structure. These features allow Penpulimab to effectively and continuously block PD-1/PD-L1 binding, thus differentiates it from other PD-1 products on the market, and may allow to more effectively enhance immunotherapeutic efficacy and reduce immune-related adverse reactions, as demonstrated by improved safety profile in clinical data.
