星光熠熠 | 猜猜哪些科学大咖参加了复宏汉霖SAB会议?
为了能够及时了解国际上癌症和自身免疫性疾病治疗领域中最前沿的研究进展与趋势,与领域内顶尖学者进行深度交流,听取他们的专业建议,复宏汉霖于2018年正式成立了由外部杰出科学家组成的SAB,并定期邀请SAB成员与复宏汉霖上海、台北和加州等三地研发中心的代表以及特邀外部科学家召开SAB会议。每次SAB的召开,都可谓是集结了复宏汉霖内外部的“最强大脑”,着实引人关注。
在此次SAB会议上,与会的科学家们主要围绕公司进展较快的研发项目进行了讨论,讨论内容则涵盖了项目的科学支撑依据、竞争格局、最新研发数据和未来计划等方面。SAB专家成员和特邀嘉宾对于公司丰富的研发管线、研发项目的差异化和作用机制的多样性以及关键项目的快速推进表达了高度认可;同时,也对不同研发项目的优先级设置、研发资源分配以及相关生物学内容提出了建设性的意见。
复宏汉霖联合创始人、首席执行官刘世高博士在会议开始简要介绍了复宏汉霖的使命与愿景、发展历程与策略、商业化计划与致力于创新研发的决心。随后,复宏汉霖高级副总裁、首席医学官陆英明博士就临床开发策略与管线进行了总体的概述,并特别针对抗PD-1单抗HLX10相关临床项目进行了重点介绍。
抗PD-1单抗HLX10临床研发进展
此次SAB会议的特邀嘉宾—斯坦福大学医学院肿瘤科医学教授Ron Levy围绕靶向肿瘤的抗体疗法和作用于免疫系统的原位疫苗相关研究进展进行了讲解。多年来,Ron Levy教授一直悉心钻研如何利用免疫系统对抗癌症,并取得了卓著的成果。正是他的开创性工作,造就了首个获得美国FDA批准用于癌症治疗的单克隆抗体药物利妥昔单抗。巧合的是,首个在中国获批的生物类似药恰恰也是利妥昔单抗(商品名:汉利康®),汉利康®也是复宏汉霖首个获批上市的产品。近年来,Ron Levy教授实验室在抗肿瘤原位疫苗方面的研究也取得了多项突破性的进展,吸引了极大的关注。

在SAB会议上,Ron Levy教授表示:
“生物医药公司与学术科研界的合作非常值得鼓励,有利于分别发挥双方在药物开发和生物学理解上的优势。
”Ron Levy教授的这一观点也普遍获得了参加本次会议的SAB专家成员、其他特邀嘉宾和复宏汉霖与会人员的高度认同。目前复宏汉霖也在积极推动多项与国内外知名院校或科研机构的合作项目。会议最后,与会的科学家们就一系列研发相关具体问题展开了深入的讨论,并对研发重心和合作的重要性进行了强调。
SAB主席管坤良教授在会后评价道:
“这次SAB会议信息量大,卓有成效。看到复宏汉霖研发项目取得了如此之大的进展,我们都非常高兴。让我们趁热打铁,尽快敲定下一次SAB会议。
”SAB专家成员李子海教授认为:
“此次会议堪称‘现象级’,复宏汉霖研发项目的进展令人印象深刻。复宏汉霖研发团队对创新展现出了高度的专注,是一支非常具有活力的团队。相信这样的团队必将取得令人瞩目的成绩。
”由于大家对于SAB会议效果的评价非常积极,同时考虑到公司研发项目的快速推进,本次会议还决定增加SAB会议频率,以便更加及时地吸取SAB对于研发项目的专业意见,并初步决定下一次SAB会议将于2020年年中召开。
对创新的追求和热情、对彼此的认可与信赖将这些“最强大脑“集结。未来,他们将继续保持深度的沟通交流和思维碰撞,不断地在研发策略和技术攻关等方面为复宏汉霖提供指导。

Henlius successfully held its fourth Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) meeting
Henlius Biotech, Inc. (Henlius), a global biologics company specialized in the discovery and development of high-quality and affordable antibodies for the treatment of patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases, recently held its fourth Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) meeting at Bay Area where the United States (US) Research and Development (R&D) site is located. Scientists from R&D groups at Shanghai, Taiwan China and US sites have attended the meeting either in-person or via tele-conference.
During this all-day SAB meeting, the topics focused on the presentation and discussion of Henlius’ most advanced research projects including scientific justification, competitive landscape, data update and future plans. The SAB members provided positive acknowledgement on the broad coverage of research pipeline, diverse mechanism and differentiated strategy, and impressive progress of key projects, as well as constructive feedbacks on project priority, biological insights and resource allocation.
Dr. Scott Liu, Henlius co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, started the meeting with an introduction of Henlius, focusing on Henlius’ vision and mission of affordable innovation, company history and strategy, commercialization plan and commitment to Research. Dr. Alvin Luk, Henlius Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, provided an overview on Henlius Clinical strategy and pipeline, especially HLX10 anti-PD1 programs. Special guest of the meeting Professor Ron Levy from Stanford University gave a lecture on the antibody therapy targeting tumor and in situ vaccination targeting immune system. Dr. Levy was the driving force behind the first FDA-approved monoclonal antibody for cancer treatment, Rituximab, which happens to be the first approved biosimilar in China and the first approved product from Henlius, HLX01 . He also encouraged the collaboration between biotech and academia, leveraging each other’s strength in drug development and biology understanding. His sentiment was also unanimously shared by all the SAB members, guests and Henlius participants, and Henlius already had some specific collaboration initiatives with renowned researchers from academia that can be put into place soon.
“This was a very informative and productive SAB meeting. We are very excited to know the strong progress. Let’s try to find a date that is good for everyone around mid-2020 for the next SAB meeting. Professor Kun-Liang Guan, chairman of Henlius’ SAB acknowledged.
One of the SAB member, Professor Zihai Li, also commented, “Very impressive progress and a phenomenal meeting. The entire team was so engaging and energetic. Great things are bound to happen.”
The meeting was concluded by a panel discussion on a variety of topics, an acknowledgement on the impressive progress, and emphasis on the research focus and collaboration. It is decided that the frequency of the SAB meeting shall be increased and the next SAB meeting is scheduled in mid-2020.
Biographies of Scientific Advisory Board Members
Dr. Kun-Liang Guan is a Distinguished Professor of Pharmacology at the University of California, San Diego. He obtained his BS (1982) at Hangzhou University, China and Ph.D. (1989) at Purdue University. From 1992-2007, Guan was a faculty at the University of Michigan. He received the MacArthur Fellowship, the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Young Investigator Award, Distinguished Alumni Award from Purdue University, an AAAS Fellow, and is a highly cited researcher in Molecular Biology & Genetics (Thomson Reuters). Guan studies signaling mechanisms of cell growth and tumorigenesis, particular focusing on the mTOR and Hippo pathways.
Dr. Yiping Yang, Director, Division of Hematology, Professor of Medicine, the Ohio State University. Dr. Yang received his M.D. from Zhejiang University, and Ph.D. from University of Michigan. He then completed his postdoctoral training and Internal Medicine residency at the University of Pennsylvania, and his Medical Oncology fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. He is an ABIM-certified physician with clinical interest in lymphoma and leukemia. He has been selected as America’s top oncologist since 2008. He has also served as Associate Editor for Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI) and JCI Insight. Funded by grants from National Institute of Health and private foundations, his research focuses on cancer immunology and immunotherapy, as well as gene therapy and viral immunity. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers in journals including Science, Nature Immunology, Nature Genetics, Nature Medicine, Immunity, JCI, PNAS, etc.
Dr. Weiping Zou is a faculty at the University of Michigan. His research interests are in tumor immunopathology and immunotherapy. Over the past few years, his research team has achieved important insights into cancer immunopathogenesis. His research efforts demonstrate that the tumor microenvironment is comprised of immune cells that have been reprogrammed by active tumor-mediated processes to defeat tumor immunity and promote tumor progression in a highly effective manner. These studies have helped define the nature of immune responses in the cancer microenvironment, form the concept of immunosuppressive networks in the cancer microenvironment and provide significant insights into designing current immune therapies including inhibitory B7 checkpoint blockade (PD-L1, B7-H1) to treat cancer patients. The Zou laboratory is one of the most cited research teams in the field of Cancer Immunology. Dr. Zou is/was an editorial board member for 9 scientific journals. He has delivered more than 200 invited lectures. He serves as a reviewer for more than 15 funding agencies including NIH and DOD, and for more than 50 scientific journals including New England Journal of Medicine, Cell, Science, and Nature journals. He is the AACR Cancer Immunology Chairperson-elect 2018-2019.
Dr. Zihai Li is Klotz Memorial Chair in Cancer Research, Professor and Founding Director of the Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology at The Ohio State University James Comprehensive Cancer Center. He received his Ph.D. in Microbiology & Immunology from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York. He completed his internal medicine residency in the Montefiore-Einstein Medical Center and his medical oncology fellowship at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Prior to his current position, he was chair of the Department of Microbiology and Immunology and co-leader of the Cancer Immunology Program at the NCI-designated Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). He is an expert in the field of GP96/GRP94 chaperone and played important roles in advancing HSP–based cancer vaccines. He recently uncovered the roles of platelets especially the TGFbeta-GARP axis on the platelets in immune tolerance and cancer immunotherapy, and discovered CNPY2 as a key initiator of the unfolded protein response. His laboratory has been continuously funded by NIH for the last two decades. Dr. Li has served multiple leadership roles in the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the Chinese American Hematologist and Oncologist Network (CAHON). He has been leading the effort to establish the Committee of Overseas Experts (COE) of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) and is the elected founding chair of the CSCO COE (2018-2020).
