Bio-Thera to Present Phase 2 Clinical Data for BAT8008 in Combination with BAT1308 at ESMO 2026

GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 22, 2026
GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bio-Thera Solutions, Ltd. (688177.SH), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative therapies and biosimilars, today announced that clinical data from a Phase 2 study of BAT8008, a TROP2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), in combination with BAT1308, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in First Line NSCLC, will be presented at the 2026 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress.
The presentation will highlight findings from the combination regimen in patients with first-line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including an evaluation of its antitumor activity and safety profile. The study reflects Bio-Thera’s continued commitment to advancing innovative antibody-based therapies for patients with significant unmet medical needs.
Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, and NSCLC accounts for the majority of lung cancer cases. Despite advances in immunotherapy and combination treatment approaches, new therapeutic strategies remain an important area of research for patients with advanced NSCLC.
BAT8008 is a TROP2-targeted ADC designed to deliver an exatecan payload, a cytotoxic TOP1 inhibitor, to tumor cells expressing TROP2. BAT1308 is a monoclonal antibody targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), an immune checkpoint involved in regulating antitumor immune responses. The combination is being investigated for its potential to integrate targeted cytotoxic activity with immune checkpoint inhibition.
