SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China, Jan. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovent Biologics, Inc. ("Innovent") (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and commercializes high quality medicines for the treatment of oncology, cardiovascular and metabolic, autoimmune, ophthalmology and other major diseases, today announced that China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved the second New Drug Application (NDA) of DOVBLERON® (taletrectinib adipate capsule), a next-generation ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive NSCLC.

The approval is based on positive results from the pivotal Phase 2 TRUST-I trial (NCT04395677), a multicenter, open-label, single-arm trial that evaluated the safety, tolerability and efficiency of taletrectinib in Chinese patients with advanced ROS1-positive NSCLC. The findings, presented at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting and published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO), demonstrated that taletrectinib continued to show high and durable overall responses and robust activity against intracranial lesions. In ROS1 TKI-naïve (n=106) patients, confirmed objective response rate (cORR, as assessed by an independent review committee, IRC) and intracranial cORR reached as high as 91% and 88%, respectively. After median follow-up of 23.5 months in TKI-naïve patients, median duration of response (IRC-assessed) and median progression-free survival (IRC-assessed) were not reached. [Link]
