  • Savolitinib approved in China for MET exon 14 skipping NSCLC; NDA submitted for expanded indications and US filing expected based on pivotal SAVANNAH study.

  • Surufatinib advancing in first-line pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma with promising data and market leadership in neuroendocrine tumors in China.

  • HMPL-306, a dual IDH1/2 inhibitor, entered phase III for AML, showing high potency, selectivity, and brain penetration.

  • Tazemetostat and HMPL-689 progressing in late-stage trials for lymphoma and cholangiocarcinoma, respectively.

Sovleplenib/Savolitinib for autoimmune diseases (ITP, wAIHA)

  • Sovleplenib, a selective Syk inhibitor, showed a 48.4% durable response rate vs 0% for placebo in Phase III ESLIM-01 for ITP, with rapid onset and improved quality of life.

  • Consistent efficacy across subgroups, including heavily pretreated and TPO-RA refractory patients.

  • Well-tolerated safety profile with low GI toxicity, no thromboembolic events, and low discontinuation rates.

  • Large addressable ITP market in China ($500m–$700m) and globally, with ongoing international development and expansion into wAIHA and other autoimmune indications.

  • In wAIHA, Phase II trial showed 66.7% overall response and 47.6% durable response at 24 weeks, with rapid and sustained hemoglobin improvement.

Surufatinib in pancreatic cancer

  • Combination with PD-1 and chemotherapy in first-line pancreatic cancer showed 50% response rate and median PFS of 9 months.

  • Phase II/III registration study underway in China for first-line metastatic PDAC.

  • Maintains strong market position in neuroendocrine tumors in China, with ongoing efforts to defend and expand market share.

  • Surufatinib, already launched for NETs, is being developed for first-line PDAC, a market with high unmet need and limited effective therapies.

  • Combination therapy showed improved mPFS (9.0 vs 5.8 months) and MOS (13.3 vs ~7–11 months) compared to standard AG regimen.
