Transcenta Partner Inhibrx Reports Positive ChonDRAgon Results for Ozekibart, Plans FDA BLA Filing in 2026

Transcenta Holding Limited (HKG: 6628) announced that its joint venture, Inhibrx Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: INBX), has achieved a milestone in the ChonDRAgon registration study of the precision‑engineered antibody ozekibart (INBRX‑109) for chondrosarcoma. The positive data will enable Inhibrx to file a Biologics License Application (BLA) with the U.S. FDA by the end of June 2026.

Study Highlights

  • Phase III ChonDRAgon – Randomized, controlled trial in metastatic or unresectable conventional chondrosarcoma.
  • Primary Endpoint – Objective response rate (ORR) and progression‑free survival (PFS).
  • Results – Ozekibart demonstrated a clinically meaningful ORR of 28 % versus 7 % with standard therapy, and a median PFS of 9.4 months versus 4.1 months.
  • Safety – Treatment‑emergent adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile of DR5 agonists; no new safety signals were identified.

Ozekibart – A Precision‑Engineered DR5 Agonist

  • Tetravalent Design – Enhances avidity for Death Receptor‑5 (DR5), inducing tumor‑selective apoptosis while sparing normal tissue.
  • Fast‑Track & Orphan Designations – Received U.S. FDA Fast‑Track status (Jan 2021) and Orphan Drug status (Nov 2021) for metastatic or unresectable conventional chondrosarcoma.
  • Commercial Rights – Transcenta holds exclusive development and commercialization rights in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

Regulatory Strategy

  • BLA Submission – Inhibrx will file the BLA with the FDA by the end of June 2026, leveraging the ChonDRAgon data and the existing Fast‑Track and Orphan designations.
  • Global Expansion – Following U.S. approval, Inhibrx plans to seek regulatory clearance in the EU, Japan, and other key markets, with Transcenta spearheading commercialization in Greater China.
