Chi-Med and BeiGene Collaborate to Evaluate the Combinations of Surufatinib and Fruquintinib with Tislelizumab for Solid Tumors

Shots:

  • The two companies collaborated to evaluate the safety- tolerability and efficacy of Chi-Med’s surufatinib and fruquintinib- with BeiGene’s tislelizumab against multiple solid tumor cancer indications in the US- EU- China and Australia. Both the companies will mutually supply drug and other support
  • Tislelizumab is an anti PD-1 mAb- specifically designed to minimize binding to FcγR- which is believed to play an essential role in activating phagocytosis in macrophages- to minimize its negative impact on T effector cells while fruquintinib improves kinase selectivity against VGEFR to minimize off-target toxicities
  • Surufatinib is a VEGFR inhibitor- inhibits CSF-1R- blocks the accumulation of tumor-associated macrophages and promoting infiltration of T effector cells into tumors- leading to possible synergistic anti-tumor activity with PD-1 inhibitors
