<p>According to the official website, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/cstone-pharmaceuticals" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27882:1" rel="noopener">CStone Pharma (2616 HK)</a> announced that a registrational clinical trial (GEMSTONE-301 study) of the anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody sugemalimab in patients with stage III NSCLC met its primary endpoint at a planned interim analysis reviewed by the independent Data Monitoring Committee (iDMC). CStone plans to submit an NDA to the NMPA for sugemalimab in stage III NSCLC. Meanwhile, the phase III trial of sugemalimab as first-line treatment for stage IV squamous and non-squamous NSCLC met its primary endpoint in August 2020. An NDA for this indication was accepted by NMPA in November 2020, and CStone is expected to receive the NDA approval in the second half of 2021. Therefore, it is expected that sugemalimab would become the first anti-PD-1/PD-L1 monoclonal antibody in the world to cover both stage III and stage IV NSCLC patients. Together with the other three commercial launches in 2021 (pralsetinib, avapritinib and ivosidenib), it is the time to revalue the Company.</p>
