2025年8月6日,复宏汉霖(2696.HK)宣布,潜在同类首创(first-in-class)人唾液酸酶融合蛋白HLX79(E-602)联合汉利康®(利妥昔单抗)治疗活动期肾小球肾炎的II期临床试验(HLX01HLX79-GN201)于中国完成首例患者给药。汉利康®现已在中国获批用于治疗非霍奇金淋巴瘤(NHL)、慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)、类风湿性关节炎(RA),是目前国内唯一获批用于自身免疫疾病治疗的利妥昔单抗。此外,汉利康®亦在拉美多国获批用于治疗血管炎肉芽肿(GPA)、显微镜下多血管炎(MPA)和寻常型天疱疮(PV)等自身免疫疾病。 终末期肾病(ESRD)是慢性肾脏病(CKD)的终末阶段,这一阶段患者肾功能几乎完全丧失,需长期依靠肾脏替代治疗维持生命,具有疾病严重程度高、多并发症高发、治疗花费负担重等特点[1]。中国ESRD患者数量位居全球首位,占比接近30%,折合现有患者人数达350万[2]。而中国终末期肾病的主要病因为肾小球肾炎,包括原发性肾小球肾炎和继发性肾小球肾炎。原发性肾小球肾炎包括膜性肾病(MN)、局灶节段性肾小球硬化(FSGS)等。继发性肾小球肾炎包括狼疮肾炎(LN)、抗中性粒细胞胞质抗体(ANCA)相关性血管炎(AAV)肾损害等[1]。 近年来,以利妥昔单抗(抗CD20单抗)等靶向抗体为代表的B细胞清除疗法,已在全球多个市场获批并被中华医学会肾脏病学专家共识推荐用于治疗肾小球肾炎[1]。然而,许多患者对这类药物的治疗反应并不理想。糖免疫提供了一种治疗自身免疫疾病的新方法。该策略通过酶解唾液酸糖苷,打破致病性免疫细胞的“保护屏障”, 从而增强其清除效果,帮助恢复机体免疫平衡。 HLX79是基于Palleon的EAGLE糖编辑平台开发的潜在“同类首创”的人唾液酸酶融合蛋白。HLX79 通过酶解唾液酸糖苷,从而增强对两类在自身免疫疾病中高度致病的免疫细胞的清除:一是驱动炎症的自身反应性记忆B细胞,二是促进纤维化和器官损伤的M2型巨噬细胞。 临床前研究表明,与利妥昔单抗单药相比,HLX79与利妥昔单抗联用的疗效显著提升,且不会引发CAR-T疗法或T细胞结合剂相关的细胞因子释放综合征(CRS)或免疫效应细胞相关神经毒性综合征(ICANS)。在此前的临床试验中,HLX79展现出良好的安全性特征,无剂量限制性毒性。HLX79联用利妥昔单抗有望为活动期肾小球肾炎患者带来临床获益。 未来,复宏汉霖还将持续立足于未满足的临床需求,充分发挥公司在抗体药物领域的一体化平台优势,不断拓展疾病领域和新分子类型,为全球患者带来更多高质量、可负担的创新治疗方案。 关于HLX01HLX79-GN201 关于复宏汉霖 Henlius Doses First Patient in Phase 2 Trial of HLX79 and HANLIKANG for Glomerulonephritis Shanghai, China, August 6, 2025 - Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. (2696.HK) announced that the first patient has been dosed in a phase 2 clinical trial (HLX01HLX79-GN201) for the potential first-in-class human sialidase enzyme therapeutic, HLX79 (E-602), in combination with Henlius’ self-developed HANLIKANG (rituximab) in patients with active glomerulonephritis. End stage renal disease (ESRD), the last stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), is characterised by near-total loss of kidney function, resulting in the need for renal replacement therapy. Patients face high disease severity, complications, and substantial economic burden due to the costs of treatment[1]. China accounts for nearly 30% of global ESRD cases, with approximately 3.5 million patients[2]. Glomerulonephritis can be classified into primary forms (e.g., membranous nephropathy [MN], focal segmental glomerulosclerosis [FSGS]) and secondary forms (e.g., lupus nephritis [LN], anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies [ANCA]-associated vasculitis [AAV]), representing the leading cause of ESRD in China[1]. HANLIKANG, approved in China for the treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and rheumatoid arthritis, remains the only rituximab approved for an autoimmune indication in China. Depleting B cells with targeted antibodies such as rituximab (anti-CD20 mAb), has been approved in multiple markets for the treatment of glomerulonephritis. However, many patients have inadequate response to these drugs. Glyco-immunology provides a new approach to treating autoimmunity by degrading immune-inhibitory sialoglycan sugar molecules that help pathogenic immune cells evade immune clearance to enhance their depletion and restore immune balance. HLX79 is a potential first-in-class human sialidase enzyme therapeutic developed based on Palleon’s EAGLE glycan editing platform and licensed in China by Henlius from Palleon. HLX79 degrades sialic acid, enhancing the clearance of two highly pathogenic immune cell populations in autoimmunity: autoreactive memory B cells, which drive inflammation, and M2-like macrophages, which promote fibrosis and organ damage. Preclinical studies of HLX79 in combination with rituximab demonstrate improved outcomes versus rituximab alone without the risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) associated with CAR T and T cell engagers. HLX79 has demonstrated a favourable safety profile with no dose-limiting toxicities in human clinical trials. It is expected that the combination of HANLIKANG and HLX79 will benefit patients with active glomerulonephritis. Moving forward, Henlius will continue to focus on unmet clinical needs by fully leveraging its integrated platform advantages in antibody-based drugs, expanding disease areas, accelerating the development of differentiated molecules, and bringing more high-quality, affordable innovative therapies to patients worldwide.
