Hansoh Pharmaceutical Presents Promising Phase I Data for B7-H3 ADC Risvutatug Rezetecan Combined with Adebrelimab at AACR 2026 – 47.1% ORR and 14.0-Month PFS in Solid Tumors

Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (HKG: 3692) unveiled Phase I clinical trial results for risvutatug rezetecan (HS-20093/GSK5764227), a B7-H3-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in combination with adebrelimab, a fully human anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody, at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting (AACR 2026) in San Diego. The open-label, multi-center study demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor activity with a 47.1% confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and 14.0-month median progression-free survival (PFS), validating Hansoh’s strategic partnership with GSK following their exclusive global licensing agreement in December 2023.

Drug Profile & Mechanism

  • Risvutatug Rezetecan: B7-H3-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) under investigation for multiple solid tumors
  • Adebrelimab: Fully human anti-PD-L1 IgG4 monoclonal antibody, approved in China for first-line extensive-stage small cell lung cancer
  • Combination Rationale: Dual mechanism targeting tumor cells (B7-H3 ADC) while enhancing immune response (PD-L1 inhibition)
  • B7-H3 Target: Expressed on various solid tumors with limited expression in normal tissues, providing favorable therapeutic window
