The Company completed patient enrollment of a Phase III registrational clinical trial of BCL2 inhibitor mesutoclax (ICP-248) in combination with BTK inhibitor orelabrutinib for treatment-naïve chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) patients.

Mesutoclax is a novel, highly selective oral BCL2 inhibitor. BCL2 is an important regulatory protein in the apoptosis pathway, and its abnormal expression is associated with the development of various hematologic malignancies. Mesutoclax exerts anti-tumor activity by selectively inhibiting BCL2 and restoring the normal apoptosis process in cancer cells. The fixed-duration treatment of mesutoclax in combination with orelabrutinib will provide deeper remission for treatment-naïve CLL/SLL patients without drug-resistant mutations, bringing hope of clinical cure to treatment-naïve CLL/SLL patients.

In addition, InnoCare also accelerated the clinical development of two novel TYK2 inhibitors. The company has completed patient enrollment in the Phase III registrational trial of soficitinib (ICP-332) for the moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD) and in the Phase III registrational trial of ICP-488 for the treatment of psoriasis recently.

These important milestones mark a crucial step forward in addressing the huge unmet needs in AD with soficitinib and in psoriasis with ICP-488.

Meanwhile, InnoCare has also completed patient enrollment in the Phase II clinical trial of soficitinib for the treatment of vitiligo.

Soficitinib is a potent and selective TYK2 inhibitor that is being developed for the treatment of various T-cell related autoimmune disorders. The current indications under development are strategically positioned within the vast dermatology market, including AD, vitiligo, prurigo nodularis, CSU, and psoriasis.

ICP-488 is an oral, potent, and selective TYK2 allosteric inhibitor. By binding to the JH2 domain, ICP-488 blocks the signal transduction pathways of IL-23, IL-12, type 1 IFN, and other inflammatory cytokines, thereby inhibiting the pathological processes of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
