To present each of these non-GAAP measures, the Company excludes share-based compensation expenses. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures" set forth at the end of this press release. 51Talk believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its performance by excluding share-based compensation expenses that may not be indicative of its operating performance from a cash perspective. 51Talk believes that both management and investors benefit from these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning and forecasting future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal comparisons to 51Talk's historical performance. 51Talk computes its non-GAAP financial measures using the same consistent method from quarter to quarter and from period to period. 51Talk believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors in allowing for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. A limitation of using non-GAAP measures is that these non-GAAP measures exclude share-based compensation expenses that have been and will continue to be for the foreseeable future a significant recurring expense in the 51Talk's business. Management compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from each non-GAAP measure. The accompanying table at the end of this press release provides more details on the reconciliations between GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures.

Antengene Announces 2024 Interim Financial Results, Highlights Progress in R&D and Commercialization

SHANGHAI and HONG KONG, Aug. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Antengene Corporation (6996.HK) today announced its interim results for the period ending June 30, 2024, along with several significant milestones achieved in recent months. Dr. Jay Mei, Antengene's Founder, Chairman, and CEO, stated, "In the first half of 2024, the company has made significant progress in both R&D and commercialization. Our four global rights assets — ATG-022 (Claudin 18.2 ADC), ATG-037 (CD73 small molecule), ATG-101 (PD-L1/4-1BB bispecific antibody), and ATG-031 (CD24 monoclonal antibody) have all advanced steadily as planned. Among them, ATG-022, currently in Phase II dose expansion stage, has demonstrated efficacy not only in gastric cancer patients with moderate-to-high Claudin 18.2 expression but also in those with low and ultra-low expression levels. This unprecedented data reinforces our belief that ATG-022 is poised to become a globally best-in-class molecule targeting Claudin 18.2. While we remain focused on building a differentiated and innovative pipeline, the company has also established a robust self-sustaining revenue-generating capability. XPOVIO® has achieved three significant milestones within the past six months, including a supplementary new drug approval (NDA) for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in the Mainland of China, National Health Insurance Service Approval for Reimbursement in South Korea, and NDA approvals for multiple myeloma (MM) in Malaysia. To date, XPOVIO® has been approved for marketing in eight countries and regions across the Asia-Pacific markets and included in the national health insurance of four of these markets, generating product revenue of RMB 60.8 million in the first half of 2024." Dr. Mei continued, "Antengene's innovative R&D capabilities, strategic approach to drug discovery and development, and rigorous cost-efficiency measures ensure the company is well positioned for sustained operations and growth in the coming years. With a cash and bank balance of RMB 1.024 billion, we have sufficient runway to provide strong support to the continuous growth, development, and operations of Antengene. We look forward to sharing more of our progress in the second half of 2024, with a key highlight being the latest research results of ATG-037, which will be presented in a mini oral presentation at the ESMO Annual Meeting on September 16." 1. Global Rights Assets with Advancing Steadily at Clinical Stage ATG-022 (Claudin 18.2 Antibody-Drug Conjugate, ADC): Currently at Phase II Dose Expansion Stage, Effectively Targeting Gastric Cancer with both High and Ultra-low Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) Expression ATG-022 is a highly differentiated asset demonstrating activity across a wide range of CLDN18.2 expression levels, including both high and low/ultra-low expression level. ATG-022 has received two Orphan Drug Designations (ODD) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer. The Phase I CLINCH dose escalation study was completed earlier this year, 2.4 mg/kg was selected as the recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). ATG-022 has now progressed to the Phase II monotherapy dose expansion stage. As of Aug 21st 2024, Data from the on-going Phase II CLINCH dose expansion study, shows that 21 CLDN18.2 positive gastric cancer patients have been treated with ATG-022. Among the 12 patients who at least underwent their first tumor assessment after study treatment, 5 achieved partial response (PR), resulting in an overall response rate (ORR) of 41.7% (including one patient with ultra-low CLDN18.2 expression), and a disease control rate (DCR) of 100%. The Phase II CLINCH study is currently progressing smoothly in China and Australia. ATG-037 (CD73 Small Molecule Inhibitor): Demonstrated Potential in Reversing Resistance to anti-PD-1 Therapies during Dose Escalation Inhibiting CD73 is intended to stop the production of adenosine, a key immunosuppressive molecule in the tumor microenvironment. As a small molecule inhibitor of CD73, ATG-037 has demonstrated pre-clinically the ability to overcome the "hook effect" that can limit efficacy and is commonly seen in anti-CD73 antibodies. Antengene entered into a global clinical collaboration with MSD and is currently evaluating this molecule in combination with the anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. ATG-037 demonstrated an excellent safety profile during the dose escalation stage. Notably, four partial responses in patients previously treated with a checkpoint inhibitor were observed — two in melanoma patients and two in non-small cell lung cancer patients. With the Phase I dose escalation now complete, the company plans to initiate the Phase II dose-expansion of the STAMINA study in China and Australia in the third quarter of 2024. ATG-101 (PD-L1/4-1BB Bispecific Antibody): Durable Responses and Preliminary Efficacy in "Cold Tumors" Observed at Low Doses Without Off-target Liver Toxicity ATG-101's differentiated approach to targeting PD-L1 resistant cancers incorporates the conditional activation of the T-cell co-stimulatory receptor 4-1BB. The bispecific antibody utilizes high PD-L1 affinity and conditional 4-1BB activation, to reduce the risk of hepatotoxicity. ATG-101 is currently undergoing dose-escalation studies in the US, the Mainland of China, and Australia. The treatment has demonstrated excellent tolerability, with no significant liver toxicity observed to date. Encouragingly, durable stable disease has been observed even at low dose levels, as along with a partial response in a patient with microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer. The Phase I dose escalation phase is on track for completion by the first half of 2025. ATG-031 (Anti-CD24 Monoclonal Antibody): First-in-Class Macrophage Activator Targeting CD24 ATG-031 is the first-in-class humanized anti-CD24 monoclonal antibody to enter clinical trials for cancer in the U.S. ATG-031 works by blocking CD24-Siglec10 and enhancing macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of cancer cells. Key study sites of ATG-031 include four renowned cancer centers in the United States: MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), University of Colorado, and Yale Cancer Center. In the Phase I PERFORM study, 19 late-stage cancer patients have been treated with early low doses in the dose escalation segment, with no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed. Observations include stable disease (SD), objective tumor shrinkage, and clinical improvements among enrolled patients. The company targets a Phase I data readout in the first half of 2025.

During the Reporting Period, the revenue recorded by the Group amounted to approximately HK$2,773.2 million representing a decrease of approximately 2.1% as compared to approximately HK$2,832.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2023 (the "Corresponding Period Last Year"). Net profit of the Group during the Reporting Period was approximately HK$36.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately 21.3% as compared to the Corresponding Period Last Year. During the Reporting Period, gross profit of the Group was approximately HK$188.1 million, representing an increase of approximately 25.0% as compared to approximately HK$150.5 million for the Corresponding Period Last Year. The Group's gross profit margin was approximately 6.8% and 5.3% for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and 2023, respectively. The gross profit margin of the Group increased slightly by approximately 1.5 percentage points by comparing the six months ended 30 June 2024 against the six months ended 30 June 2023. During the Reporting Period, earnings per share of the Group was approximately HK7.17 cents (for the six months ended 30 June 2023: HK9.09 cents). The Board has resolved to declare the payment of interim dividend of HK1.5 cents per share. BUSINESS REVIEW Construction Operations Building Construction Works For the six months ended 30 June 2024, the revenue generated from the building construction works was HK$2,414.3 million, representing a decrease of approximately 1.7% as compared to approximately HK$2,455.9 million for the six months ended 30 June 2023. During the Reporting Period, the gross profit of building construction works was approximately HK$126.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$3.9 million as compared to approximately HK$130.6 million for the Corresponding Period Last Year. The gross profit margin decreased slightly to approximately 5.2% for the six months ended 2024. The decrease in gross profit and gross profit margin was mainly due to additional cost incurred for variation orders for projects during the Reporting period, while the respective revenue is expected to be recognised at a later stage. Repair, Maintenance, Alteration and Addition ("RMAA") The revenue generated from the RMAA works increased by approximately 11.2% from approximately HK$261.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2023 to approximately HK$290.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. During the Reporting Period, the gross profit of RMAA works was approximately HK$43.2 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$44.6 million from the gross loss of approximately HK$1.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2023. The gross profit margin increased to approximately 14.9% for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The increase in the gross profit and gross profit margin for the six months ended 30 June 2024 was mainly due to additional cost incurred for variation orders for a project during the prior period, while the respective revenue were only certified during the Reporting Period. Environmental Operations For the six months ended 30 June 2024, the revenue generated from the environmental operations was approximately HK$68.3 million, representing a decrease of approximately 40.5% as compared to approximately HK$114.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2023. During the Reporting Period, the gross profit was approximately HK$18.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$3.1 million as compared to approximately HK$21.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2023. The gross profit margin increased to approximately 26.6% for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The decrease in the gross profit and increase in gross profit margin for the six months ended 30 June 2024 was mainly due to decrease in revenue from construction and rehabilitation services which contributed lower gross profit margin during the Reporting Period. CONTRACT COSTS The Group's contract costs primarily consisted of subcontracting costs, material costs, direct staff costs and site overheads. For the six months ended 30 June 2024, the contract costs recorded by the Group were approximately HK$2,585.1 million, representing a decrease of 3.6% compared to approximately HK$2,681.6 million for the six months ended 30 June 2023. Such decrease was attributable to the decrease in subcontracting costs, material costs and direct staff costs for new projects and existing projects during the Reporting Period. PROSPECTS Subsequent to 30 June 2024, the Group has been further awarded 1 new projects relating to building construction works with original contract sum of approximately HK$2.1 billion. The Group has also attached great emphasis to technological innovation, enhancing its core competitiveness in the construction industry. The total expenditure for the research and development is approximately HK$11.6 million during the Reporting Period. Our self-developed "4S Smart Construction Safety System" has obtained the ISO 27001 Certification for Information Security Management System, becoming the first company in Hong Kong to achieve this certification for a smart construction safety system. In addition, our environmental company has successfully developed an integrated rural domestic sewage treatment equipment, which has passed the performance test by a third-party testing institution. Therefore, in line with the digitalization trend in the construction industry and the government's policy on Smart Site, our Group will enhance technology research and development, and is committed to introducing various innovative technology tools in various projects to enhance management efficiency and construction safety. In the second half of 2024, Hong Kong's economic activities are expected to continue steady development, while cost pressure is expected to rise with increasing construction volume. The government's previous introduced labour importation schemes in the construction industry, with the completion of more dormitories and support measures, we expect to further reduce hiring costs and help alleviate some challenges related to technical talent shortages. The government recently announced that the Land (Compulsory Sale for Redevelopment) (Amendment) Bill 2023 is expected to come into effect by the end of this year. After the implementation of the new legislation, which lowers the compulsory sale application thresholds, it is believed that it could facilitate the redevelopment of large-scale projects. We expect that this measure will have a positive impact on the Group's business. Our Group will continue to work hard to find new potential construction business opportunities to achieve Group's profit growth. At the same time, leveraging our experience in the industry, our Group is keen to explore suitable business opportunities in construction and environmental industries and other areas both domestic and overseas.

The Company defines non-GAAP financial measures by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and the tax effects of the non-GAAP adjustments, which are non-cash expenses. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons of operating performance from period to period and company to company by adjusting for potential impacts of items, which the Company's management considers to be indicative of its operating performance. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company's consolidated results of operations in the same manner as they help the Company's management. The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The use of the non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of, our results of operations or financial condition as reported under U.S. GAAP. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP and Non-GAAP Results" set forth at the end of this press release.

Getinge to acquire Paragonix Technologies, a growth leader in the organ transplantation market

Today, Getinge announces an agreement to acquire 100% of Paragonix Technologies, Inc., a leading organ transport products and services company in the United States for an aggregated purchase price, including upfront and earn out payments, estimated to approximately USD 477 million. GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Aug. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- With the acquisition of Paragonix Technologies – a pioneer and innovator in organ transport and preservation – Getinge marks its entry into a rapidly advancing field driven by rising transplant volumes, technological innovations and evolving clinical practices. The acquisition aligns with Getinge's broader strategy to expand its portfolio into high growth markets that complement and enhance its acute heart and lung support offering already being used in connection with transplantation, positioning the company at the forefront of the fast-growing organ preservation and transportation market. "We are excited to enter the organ preservation and transportation market which is rapidly evolving, driven by a global shortage of organs and the pressing need to increase transplantation volume. Teaming up with Paragonix Technologies' talented team and proven technology is not just a strategic fit for Getinge, it is a catalyst to redefine the market standard, especially considering our expertise in the acute heart and lung support segment and our existing global sales network", says Elin Frostehav, President Acute Care Therapies at Getinge. Founded in 2010, Paragonix Technologies is a privately held company headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA, and employs approximately 100 people. In 2023, Paragonix Technologies reported revenues of USD 43.1 million, representing an impressive 136% growth over prior year. Close to 100% of its sales are generated from the US market. The global organ preservation and transportation market is expected to continue to sustain rapid growth. In the US, reforms initiated in 2019 are transforming the transplantation system, driving further improvements in organ transplantation. Additionally, the utilization of organs from previously underutilized donor pools is expanding overall transplant volumes. With over 100,000 patients on the organ waiting list in the US alone, and alongside ongoing technological advancements, the US and EU combined total organ transplant market is expected to exceed USD 10 billion by 2033, continuing its double-digit growth trajectory. The US remains the largest and most homogeneous market. "We are thrilled to join forces with Getinge", says Dr. Lisa Anderson, CEO and President of Paragonix Technologies. "Our product portfolio, transplant services, and robust clinical data position us as an industry leader. Together, we look forward to making a broad clinical impact, improving patient care, and launching new innovations in transplantation and end-stage organ failure. With Getinge's global sales footprint, we can now extend our technologies and solutions to underserved patient populations worldwide." The acquisition enables Getinge to provide innovative solutions across the entire transplant workflow, complementing and synergizing with existing pre- and post-transplant patient support products in the acute heart & lung support segment while also venturing into the adjacent kidney, liver, and pancreas markets. "This strategic move positions us to innovate within the transplant space, and ultimately, confirms our purpose to make life-saving solutions accessible for more people and our objective to double the lives saved. We look forward to an exciting future where we continue to make a difference together with our new colleagues at Paragonix Technologies," Elin Frostehav concludes. The aggregated upfront purchase price and currently expected additional earnout payments in 2024-2026 are approximately USD 477 million, on a cash and debt free basis, for all issued and outstanding shares, of which USD 253 million is payable in cash on closing. The earn-out payments are expected to be paid between 2024 and 2026 if agreed upon regulatory and financial performance milestones are achieved and may exceed USD 277 million in aggregate. Getinge anticipates a positive contribution on adjusted earnings per share starting in 2028. The initial payout related to the acquisition will be financed through a bridge loan provided by SEB. The acquisition is expected to have a slightly negative impact on Getinge's adjusted earnings per share in 2024. The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act has elapsed. The closing is expected to take place late Q3 or early Q4 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. The deal logic in brief: The total market for transplants has been growing rapidly in recent years and is expected to continue to grow double digit and exceed USD 10 billion in 2033. Growth is driven by volume increase due to demand and the transition from traditional methods (ice) towards new technologies as the average cost of transplant cases increases. This trend is already established for the Heart and Lung segments, and similar development is expected for the Abdominal segment. Paragonix Technologies outgrows the market significantly (136% growth in 2023) – seizing a substantial market share. Paragonix Technologies has a strong offering targeting the Heart and Lung segments, for example enabling >50% reduction of severe complications and 43% reduction in 2-year mortality compared to traditional heart transport and preservation solutions. Paragonix Technologies has recently launched attractive offerings targeting the Abdominal segment and has a strong pipeline of additional products. The company also has a strong portfolio of digital solutions and services. Untapped global potential – close to 100% of Paragonix Technologies' sales is in the US. Getinge and Paragonix can capture global demand growth together, supported by Getinge's global commercial infrastructure. Combining Paragonix Technologies' leading offering and pipeline with Getinge's expertise and offering in the acute heart and lung support, digital technology and services creates a very attractive offering as of today. The deal also enables the development of attractive combined offerings for the future – strengthening the leading position further.

Ascentage Pharma Announces 2024 Interim Results

ROCKVILLE, Md. and SUZHOU, China, Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascentage Pharma (6855.HK), a global biopharmaceutical company engaged in discovering, developing and commercializing both first-in-class and best-in-class therapies for malignancies, today announced its 2024 interim results. During the reporting period, Ascentage Pharma continued to execute its global innovation strategy, having achieved breakthroughs across various aspects of its business including external collaborations, commercialization, and clinical development. In particular, the company has set a new record with its revenue for the first half of 2024 and reported profit for the first time. During the reporting period, Ascentage Pharma has set a new record for its revenue that grew by 477% from the same period last year to RMB824 million, with most of the revenue generated from sales of pharmaceutical products and license income. For the very first time in its history, Ascentage Pharma reached profitability, having reported a net profit of RMB163 million. Ascentage Pharma made rapid progress with the commercialization of its first approved product, olverembatinib (HQP1351). During the reporting period, olverembatinib generated a sales revenue of RMB113 million, which grew by 120% from the second half of 2023 and 5% year-over-year. Ascentage Pharma and Takeda, a multinational pharmaceutical company, have entered into an exclusive option agreement that granted Takeda an exclusive option to enter into an exclusive license agreement for olverembatinib. Once exercised, the Option would allow Takeda to license global rights to develop and commercialize olverembatinib in all territories outside of, among others, the mainland China, Hong Kong China, Macau China, and Taiwan China. Ascentage Pharma has received US$100 million in option payment and a US$75 million equity investment. The company's cash flows continued to improve. As of June 30, 2024, the company's cash balances were RMB1.1 billion and rose to RMB1.8 billion by early July, 2024. Entered into a landmark global collaboration that is the largest BD deal among small molecule oncology drugs in China Ascentage Pharma constantly seeks global partnerships. During the reporting period, the company and Takeda, a multinational pharmaceutical company, entered into an exclusive option agreement for olverembatinib. This collaboration, with a total value reaching US$1.3 billion, includes an option payment of US$100 million and an option exercise fee and potential milestone payments totaling US$1.2 billion. Additionally, Ascentage Pharma is eligible for tiered double-digit royalties on annual net sales. To date, this is the largest out-licensing deal for any small molecule oncology drug in China. Furthermore, Ascentage Pharma also received an equity investment from Takeda. This collaboration highlights the significant clinical and commercial potential of olverembatinib in the global market and laid a solid foundation for the future global commercialization of the drug. Ascentage Pharma has already received the US$100 million option payment and US$75 million equity investment from Takeda. Commercialization of olverembatinib accelerated and strengthened the company's revenue generating ability Following the inclusion of the first approved indication of Ascentage Pharma's novel drug candidate olverembatinib into the China National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) in January 2023 and the regulatory approval for its new indication in November 2023, olverembatinib continued to realize its growth potential while boosting company's ability to generate revenue through product sales. During the reporting period, the sales revenue of olverembatinib grew by 120% from the second half of 2023 and by 5% year-over-year, to RMB113 million. Ascentage Pharma is expeditiously expanding the commercialization of its approved product. As of June 30, 2024, olverembatinib has entered 670 hospitals and direct-to-patient (DTP) pharmacies nationwide and its number of listed hospitals has grown by 79% compared to the end of last year. Since the approval of its new indication in November 2023 till June 30, 2024, olverembatinib has been included into 114 supplemental insurance for major diseases and Huimin insurance plans of 20 provinces and 83 municipalities. Additionally, olverembatinib was included into the special drugs catalog of the Huimin insurance plan of 20 provinces and municipalities such as Hebei, Hainan, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Wuxi, Huzhou, Shenzhen, and Yantai, which greatly improved the drug's accessibility and alleviated the burden on patients. As the first China-approved third-generation BCR-ABL inhibitor, olverembatinib's clinical value and therapeutic potential continued to received high profile recognition during the reporting period, both in China and globally. In January 2024, clinical trial results of olverembatinib were included into the US National Comprehensive Cancer Network® (NCCN) Guidelines for the Management of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML). Moreover, olverembatinib has received upgraded recommendations from the 2024 Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hematologic Malignancies in CML and Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL), plus a number of additional Level I recommendations from the guideline. In July 2024, olverembatinib was approved in Macau China for the treatment of adult patients with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant chronic-phase CML (CML-CP) or accelerated-phase CML (CML-AP) harboring the T315I mutation; and adult patients with CML-CP resistant to and/or intolerant of first- and second-generation TKIs, marking another major milestone for olverembatinib following initial approvals it received in the Chinese mainland. Global innovation strategy yielding more encouraging results with eight registrational studies being simultaneously advanced Guided by its global innovation strategy, Ascentage Pharma delivered multiple milestone achievements and swiftly advanced its global clinical development programs during the reporting period. To date, two of the company's key drug candidates, olverembatinib and lisaftoclax (APG-2575), have been cleared to enter 11 registrational studies, including 3 registrational studies that have been completed and 8 registrational studies currently ongoing. In February 2024, olverembatinib was cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to enter a global registrational Phase III study in previously treated adult patients with CML-CP. This is the first FDA-cleared registrational Phase III study of olverembatinib and it represents a big step forward for Ascentage Pharma's global clinical development in hematologic malignancies. Outside hematology, the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China's National Medical Product Administration (NMPA) cleared a global registrational Phase III study of olverembatinib in patients with succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) who had failed prior systemic treatment. This clearance represents a crucial step in Ascentage Pharma's clinical development in solid tumors. Meanwhile, Ascentage Pharma also made notable strides with the clinical development of lisaftoclax in hematologic malignancies. During the reporting period, the China CDE cleared a Phase III study of lisaftoclax in combination with azacitidine (AZA) for the first-line treatment of newly-diagnosed patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). This is the fourth cleared registrational Phase III study of lisaftoclax. Winning recognition from around the world with robust clinical data spanning multiple indications As an innovative biopharmaceutical company focused on global innovation, Ascentage Pharma has built a high value pipeline composed of assets with first- and best-in-class potentials and conducted more than 40 clinical trials in China, the US, Australia, Europe, and Canada. In this process, Ascentage Pharma made steady progress exploring and validating a number of its drug candidates across multiple indications and presented updated results from its clinical programs at a number of international congresses, showcasing its prowess in R&D and clinical development. During the reporting period, results from four clinical studies of olverembatinib, lisaftoclax, and APG-2449, the company's three key drug candidates, were selected for presentations at the 2024 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. This is the seventh consecutive year for Ascentage Pharma to present at the meeting. Among these results, the data of olverembatinib in patients with TKI-resistant SDH-deficient GIST were selected for an Oral Report. In the data, olverembatinib showed promising clinical benefit including a clinical benefit rate (CBR) of 92.3% and a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 25.7 months in patients with SDH-deficient GIST, an indication that currently lacks standard of care treatment. At the same meeting, Ascentage Pharma presented the latest data that further demonstrated the therapeutic potential of its FAK/ALK/ROS1 TKI APG-2449 for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). At the 2024 European Hematology Association Hybrid Congress (EHA 2024) which took place in June this year, Ascentage Pharma released update results from five studies of olverembatinib, lisaftoclax, and APG-5918, three of the company's key drug candidates. These data highlighted the company's competitiveness in the field of hematologic malignancies. The three studies of olverembatinib presented at EHA 2024 include one that reported the latest median 1-year follow-up data of olverembatinib in patients with CML and Ph+ ALL, updated from the data released at the 2023 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting. In the results, olverembatinib showed excellent durable clinical benefits and favorable long-term tolerability in patients who had been treated with multiple TKIs (including those who were resistant to ponatinib and/or asciminib), regardless of whether they harbored the T315I mutation. The latest data from multiple studies of lisaftoclax were also selected for presentations at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting and EHA 2024. These results highlighted lisaftoclax' therapeutic potential in a range of hematologic malignancies. Data released at this year's ASCO Annual Meeting include the latest promising results from a Phase Ib/II study of lisaftoclax in combination with AZA in patients with treatment-naïve (TN) or relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and a global, multicenter Phase Ib/II study of lisaftoclax alone or in combinations for the treatment of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). At EHA 2024, the company presented encouraging updated data of lisaftoclax in patients with R/R multiple myeloma (MM) or immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. Furthermore, results from three preclinical studies of olverembatinib, alrizomadlin (APG-115), APG-2449, and APG-5918 were announced at the 2024 American Association of Cancer Research Annual Meeting (AACR 2024), providing important scientific rationale for the future clinical development of these assets. Deepening global innovation while opening a whole new chapter on growth and development To support its long-term strategy and growth, during the reporting period, Ascentage Pharma has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form F-1 to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to the proposed initial public offering of American depositary shares (ADSs) representing its ordinary shares. Ascentage Pharma is steadfastly committed to its global innovation strategy and strengthening its intellectual property portfolio. As of June 30, 2024, Ascentage Pharma holds 520 issued patents globally, among of which 367 patents were issued outside of China. Dr. Dajun Yang, Chairman & CEO of Ascentage Pharma, said, "In the first half of 2024, Ascentage Pharma has achieved multiple milestones in global business development, product commercialization, and global clinical development. These achievements highlight our global innovative capabilities and competitiveness in the field of hematologic malignancies. During the reporting period, we entered into a global collaboration valued at up to US$1.3 billion with Takeda, a multinational pharmaceutical company, for olverembatinib, in an agreement that also includes tiered double-digit royalties on annual net sales. This is the largest BD deal for any small molecule oncology drug in China. Moreover, we have already received US$75 million in equity investment from Takeda. This collaboration is another validation of our leadership in the industry and olverembatinib's value in the global market that will hopefully demonstrate clinical potential in more conditions that currently lack treatment options. In February 2024, the US FDA cleared a global registrational Phase III study of olverembatinib, marking yet another major milestone in the global clinical development of the drug. It is worth emphasizing that during the reporting period, Ascentage Pharma achieved profitability for the first time in its history. With olverembatinib included into the China NRDL and approved for a new indication in the country, we are empowered to further strengthen our commercialization capabilities. At the same time, we made broad progress with our global clinical development programs, expanded the potential indications of our key drug candidates, and reinforced our competitiveness in the field of hematologic malignancies. Pressing ahead with our patient-centric global innovation strategy, we will continue to build out our commercialization capabilities and accelerate the global clinical development of our investigational assets. To fulfill our mission of addressing unmet clinical needs in China and around the world, we aspire to bring our innovative drugs to the global market as soon as possible for the benefit of more patients around the world and create additional value for societies and our investors."
