Focusing on Core Therapeutic Areas and Accelerating Clinical Translation of Innovative Drugs

Guided by clinical-value-driven innovation, Fosun Pharma prioritises three core therapeutic areas: oncology, immunology and inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. It also expands into CVRM (cardiovascular, renal and metabolic), anti-infectives, rare diseases and other segments. Leveraging an open-innovation framework that combines in-house R&D, two-way licensing and fund-incubation models, the Company accelerates clinical translation and pushes forward its innovation-led transformation.

In 1H2026, Fosun Pharma's total R&D investment amounted to RMB 3.247 billion, up 25.66% year-on-year. Among this, R&D investment related to Innovative Drugs accounted for 81.61% of total R&D investment, primarily directed towards pipelines such as HLX43, HLX22, GR1803, FXR0906, as well as next-generation small molecule drugs, radiopharmaceuticals, and other cutting-edge technology platforms.

During the reporting period, Fosun Pharma's Innovative Drugs entered a period of intensive approvals and value realization, with a total of 20 indications of 7 Innovative Drugs were approved for launch both domestically and overseas. In solid tumor areas including lung cancer, breast cancer, and gastrointestinal tumors, the Company has established differentiated competitive advantages through multi-product synergy and global commercialization. Han Li Kang (Rituximab), Han Qu You (trastuzumab), and Akynzeo® continue to maintain leading positions in their respective market segments, consistently contributing stable cash flow.

During H1 2026, Han Si Zhuang (Serplulimab) gained approval in China for the perioperative treatment of gastric cancer, filling a global unmet clinical need. In the EU, it obtained three additional first-line approvals for squamous non-small-cell lung cancer, esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma and non-squamous non-small-cell lung cancer. To date, serplulimab has been launched in approximately 50 countries and regions worldwide and is reimbursed under national health-insurance or public-reimbursement schemes in 12 markets including the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden. Han Bei You (Pertuzumab) received successive marketing approvals in the EU and China. It works in synergy with breast-cancer portfolio assets including Han Qu You, Han Nai Jia and Fu Tuo Ning to drive commercial uptake. Fu Mai Ning (luvometinib tablets) secured a new indication for pediatric and adolescent patients aged two years and older with relapsed/refractory Langerhans-cell histiocytosis (LCH) following systemic therapy, addressing an unmet clinical need in China.

With regulatory applications accepted for multiple innovative drugs and international multi-center clinical trials for key pipelines moving forward efficiently, Fosun Pharma continues to fuel its long-term commercial growth.
- The NDA for SAF-189 (foritinib succinate capsules), an ALK inhibitor for non-small-cell lung cancer, has been accepted by the NMPA.
- The NDA of Fu Mai Ning for adult patients with symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) has been accepted and granted priority review by the NMPA.
- The NDA for Velinotamig (GR1803), a BCMA × CD3 bispecific antibody for multiple myeloma, has been accepted.

Lead pipeline candidates HLX43 and HLX22 are progressing in international multi-center trials across China, the US, Europe, Australia, Japan and other geographies. As a potential best-in-class pan-tumor PD-L1-targeting ADC, HLX43 has demonstrated promising preliminary clinical efficacy featuring high potency and favorable safety profiles across multiple solid tumors types including non-small-cell lung cancer.

In the immunology and inflammation field, the Company strengthened its in-house R&D while continuously enriching its pipeline through BD collaborations, obtaining the rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize roconkibart (anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody) in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, and Taiwan region. The complement inhibitor FXS6837 for the treatment of IgA nephropathy and other glomerular diseases associated with complement dysregulation initiated Phase 2b clinical trials in Chinese mainland. The DPP1 inhibitor FXS7553 is in Phase 2 clinical stage in Chinese mainland for two indications: non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis and COPD.

In the neurodegenerative diseases field, the integrated diagnosis and treatment layout continues to strengthen. The post-marketing confirmatory clinical trial for Sodium Oligomannate Capsules in Chinese mainland is progressing steadily; as of July 31, 2026, cumulative enrollment exceeded 1,000 cases, reaching over 50% of the planned enrollment target. HT001, an investigational drug for Parkinson's disease, has initiated Phase 1 clinical trials in Australia. Parallel work is underway on the clinical deployment of magnetic-resonance-guided focused-ultrasound therapy and the R&D of companion diagnostic reagents.

Rooted in evidence-based medicine, Fosun Pharma presented three oral abstracts at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, including the Phase 3 study of Fu Mai Ning in adult NF1 patients, the Phase 3 study of serplulimab injection in the perioperative setting for gastric cancer, and the clinical study of HLX43 in non-small cell lung cancer. 10 studies were selected for poster presentations at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting, including data from two Phase 3 studies of Fu Tuo Ning and a study of HLX43 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The Company continues to deliver high-quality clinical outcomes in top-tier global journals such as The Lancet and Nature Medicine, as well as at global industry academic conferences, providing solid academic support for international registration and commercial expansion of its products.

Deep Globalization: Global Capabilities Accelerate Value Delivery of Innovation

Among China's early-movers in global pharmaceutical expansion, Fosun Pharma is evolving from mere product exports toward system-level global deployment. It strengthens cross-border capabilities across R&D, regulatory affairs, manufacturing and commercialization to maximize the global value of its innovative assets.

In terms of out-licensing, Shanghai Henlius, a subsidiary of Fosun Pharma, has entered strategic partnerships with Eisai and Abbott for serplulimab. Eisai obtains development, manufacturing and exclusive commercialization rights for Japan and agreed territories. Abbott receives exclusive commercial-license rights covering 42 countries and regions across Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe. These collaborations accelerate global roll-out of home-grown innovations for patients worldwide.

In terms of in-licensing, Fosun Pharma entered into a global exclusive option agreement with AriBio for AR1001, an investigational drug for Alzheimer's disease. Building on the existing rights in China and Southeast Asia, Fosun Pharma is entitled to further expand its right to global core markets including the US, Europe, and Japan, with the Company serving as the marketing authorization holder for the product in the corresponding territories. The international multi-center Phase 3 clinical trial of AR1001 for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease has completed the last patient's last visit, with top-line results to be announced within 2026.

Drawing on years of global GMP-compliant manufacturing experience, Fosun Pharma presses ahead with its internationalization drive. Its biotech manufacturing site supplies products routinely to global markets including China, Europe, Canada, Latin America, Southeast Asia and India. As of period-end, installed biologic capacity totaled 84,000 liters, of which 48,000 liters are commercially operational.

Fosun Pharma's subsidiary Gland Pharma, as the first injectable manufacturer in India to receive U.S. FDA approval, possesses one-stop development and manufacturing capabilities for complex dosage forms including vials, lyophilized products, ampoules, and pre-filled syringes. Gland Pharma recently entered into a strategic supply agreement with a global leading pharmaceutical company for 55 SKUs of sterile injectable, further validating its technological expertise and customer stickiness in the high-barrier complex formulation segment. This platform also provides Fosun Pharma with a unique strategic resource for its globalization layout, creating a differentiated competitive advantage in the process of going global.
