In the field of breast cancer, results from 19 studies evaluating the company’s innovative drugs—pyrotinib, dalpiciclib, camrelizumab, apatinib, adebrelimab, Trastuzumab rezetecan (SHR-A1811), and SHR-2017, either in combination with each other or with chemotherapies, were presented at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) 2025. Notably, 7 studies involving pyrotinib and 6 studies involving dalpiciclib were selected, with both agents consistently demonstrating promising efficacy, reinforcing their established roles in breast cancer treatment. Furthermore, studies evaluating SHR-A1811 and adebrelimab were selected for rapid oral presentations, attracting considerable attention from the industry.

In the field of gastrointestinal cancers, drugs such as camrelizumab, apatinib, adebrelimab, and SHR-8068 were featured in a total of 30 accepted studies. Notably, camrelizumab was included in 21 of these studies, demonstrating its broad therapeutic profile and potential while reinforcing its position as a key focus at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper). This further solidifies the achievements of China-developed PD-1 inhibitors on the global stage. Additionally, adebrelimab, which has achieved significant breakthroughs in lung cancer in recent years, is actively expanding into new indications. At this year’s ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper), five related studies exploring adebrelimab’s efficacy in indications such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) , and pancreatic cancer were presented. The ongoing emergence of cutting-edge research on both established and emerging agents holds promise for improving clinical outcomes for patients with gastrointestinal tumors.

Across a wide range of disease areas—including lung cancer, gynecologic cancers, lymphoma, bladder cancer, head and neck cancer, melanoma, sarcoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, chordoma, salivary gland cancer, thymic cancer, desmoid tumors, and salivary duct carcinoma—Hengrui Pharma’s innovative oncology portfolio (camrelizumab, apatinib, adebrelimab, pyrotinib, dalpiciclib, fluzoparib, famitinib, SHR-A1811, SHR-1501, SHR-1701, SHR-1826, SHR-A1912, and SHR-A2102) was featured in 22 research presentations at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) 2025.
