Kelun-Biotech Receives Investigational New Drug Approval for ITGB6-Targeted ADC SKB105 from the NMPA

CHENGDU, China, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Kelun-Biotech” or the “Company”, 6990.HK) announced that its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for SKB105 (also known as CR-003), an internally developed integrin beta-6 (ITGB6)-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), has been approved by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.

In December 2025, Kelun-Biotech and Crescent Biopharma, Inc. (“Crescent”) entered into a strategic collaboration for SKB105/CR-003 and SKB118 (a PD-1 x VEGF bispecific antibody, also known as CR-001). Under the collaboration, Kelun-Biotech granted Crescent exclusive rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize SKB105/CR-003 in the United States, Europe and all other markets outside of Greater China. In addition, Crescent granted Kelun-Biotech exclusive rights to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize SKB118/CR-001 in Greater China. The IND application for SKB118/CR-001 has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a global Phase I/II clinical trial for the treatment of advanced solid tumors is set to commence shortly. Kelun-Biotech plans to submit an IND application for SKB118/CR-001 to the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration of China in the near future.

About SKB105 (also known as CR-003)

SKB105 is a differentiated ADC targeting ITGB6 with a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload. ITGB6 is overexpressed in many solid tumors, but shows minimal to no expression in most normal tissues, thereby potentially reducing the risk of systemic toxicity and off-target effects. SKB105 incorporates proprietary Kthiol® irreversible conjugation technology, linking an anti-ITGB6 fully human Immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal antibody (mAb) to a clinically validated cleavable linker. This design aims to enhance stability and tumor-specific payload delivery while reducing adverse effects. In preclinical models, SKB105 demonstrated a favorable efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile.

About SKB118(also known as CR-001)

SKB118/CR-001 is a tetravalent bispecific antibody being developed for the treatment of solid tumors that combines two complementary, validated mechanisms in oncology via a blockade of PD-1 and VEGF. PD-1 checkpoint inhibition is aimed at restoring T cells’ ability to recognize and destroy tumor cells, and blocking VEGF is intended for reducing blood supply to tumor cells and inhibiting tumor growth. In preclinical studies, SKB118/CR-001 demonstrated cooperative pharmacology with increased binding to PD-1 and signal blockade in the presence of VEGF as well as robust anti-tumor activity. SKB118/CR-001’s anti-VEGF activity may also normalize the vasculature at the tumor site, which has the potential to improve the localization and effectiveness of combination therapies, particularly in conjunction with ADCs.

The online initiative is designed to upskill creators by providing a structured foundation in how financial markets operate, with an emphasis on accurate and responsible financial communication. Selected participants will receive access to a structured 10-week course covering market structure, technical analysis fundamentals, risk awareness, and disciplined decision-making.

Creators are selected through an application-based competition to participate in the fully sponsored market education initiative focused on foundational market knowledge and responsible financial communication.

The curriculum covers core principles of technical analysis and market behavior, including market structure, price action, trends, support and resistance, and risk management. The initiative is educational in nature and does not constitute financial, investment, or trading advice.

While certain examples within the course may reference digital asset markets, the analytical frameworks taught are broadly applicable across global financial markets. The program is intended to help creators develop a clearer understanding of market behavior and communicate financial concepts clearly and responsibly to their audiences.

“This structured 10-week program is designed to help creators strengthen their foundational market knowledge and communicate responsibly,” said David Bird, Founder & Chief Education Officer at Mastering the Markets. “By focusing on strong foundations and disciplined thinking, we help people build the knowledge and confidence needed to engage with markets responsibly and over the long term.”

The initiative is open to Sri Lankan key opinion leaders who demonstrate a commitment to educating themselves and their communities. By combining foundational market education with exposure to both traditional financial markets and digital asset concepts, participants gain a broader educational framework for understanding global market behavior.

Upon completion of the course, participants will gain a clearer understanding of market dynamics, technical frameworks, and how structured market analysis methodologies are applied. The initiative aims to support the creation of more educational, accurate, and responsible financial content within Sri Lanka’s creator community.

Following earlier community-focused initiatives in Sri Lanka, the program reflects Bybit’s continued investment in education-focused engagement through partnerships with established market educators.

Marking a Key Milestone Toward Market Launch and Strengthening Sisram’s Premium Aesthetics Portfolio

HONG KONG, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sisram Medical Ltd (the “Company” or “Sisram”, 1696.HK; together with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the “Group”), a global wellness group offering Energy-Based Devices (EBD), injectables, diagonostics, and other complementary solutions, today announced that its long-acting botulinum toxin type A product, DAXXIFY (trademark in Chinese Mainland达希斐®), has passed the quality testing from National Institutes for Food and Drug Control of the People’s Republic of China (“NIFDC”).

Kelun-Biotech Announces Breakthrough Therapy Designation Granted in China for Sacituzumab Tirumotecan (sac-TMT) in Combination with Immunotherapy Pembrolizumab for First-Line Treatment of PD-L1-Positive NSCLC

CHENGDU, China, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Kelun-Biotech” or the “Company,” 6990.HK) today announced that its TROP2-directed antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) sacituzumab tirumotecan (sac-TMT, also known as SKB264/MK-2870) (佳泰莱®) in combination with MSD’s anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®[1]) was granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for the first-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS)1% and are EGFR-negative and ALK-negative. 

BTD is granted for treatment regimens that provide effective treatment or prevention for conditions with no currently available therapy, or that demonstrate significant clinical advantages over currently available treatments. For drugs included in the breakthrough therapy process, if relevant conditions are met, applications for conditional approval and priority review and approval can be submitted when applying for marketing authorization.

Previously, the company announced that results from the Phase III clinical trial of OptiTROP-Lung05, evaluating sac-TMT in combination with pembrolizumab as first-line treatment for PD-L1-positive NSCLC, demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS). A positive trend was also observed in overall survival (OS). OptiTROP-Lung05 is the first Phase III study of an immunotherapy and ADC combination to meet its primary endpoint in the first-line treatment of NSCLC. Granting of BTD for the first-line treatment of PD-L1-positive NSCLC indication offers pathways to expedite the review and potential approval process of sac-TMT for this indication.

To date, sac-TMT has received five BTDs for:

  • locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in July 2022;
  • locally advanced or metastatic EGFR-mutant NSCLC after progression on EGFR-TKI therapy in January 2023;
  • locally advanced or metastatic hormone-receptor positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer (BC) in patients who have previously received at least two lines of systemic chemotherapy in June 2023;
  • first-line treatment of unresectable locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic PD-L1 negative TNBC in March 2024;
  • In combination with anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody tagitanlimab for the first-line treatment of locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC without actionable genomic alterations in June 2025.

About sac-TMT

Sac-TMT, a core product of the Company, is a novel human TROP2 ADC in which the Company has proprietary intellectual property rights, targeting advanced solid tumors such as NSCLC, BC, gastric cancer (GC), gynecological tumors, among others. Sac-TMT is developed with a novel linker to conjugate the payload, a belotecan-derivative topoisomerase I inhibitor with a drug-to-antibody-ratio (DAR) of 7.4. Sac-TMT specifically recognizes TROP2 on the surface of tumor cells by recombinant anti-TROP2 humanized monoclonal antibodies, which is then endocytosed by tumor cells and releases the payload KL610023 intracellularly. KL610023, as a topoisomerase I inhibitor, induces DNA damage to tumor cells, which in turn leads to cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis. In addition, it also releases KL610023 in the tumor microenvironment. Given that KL610023 is membrane permeable, it can enable a bystander effect, or in other words kill adjacent tumor cells.

In May 2022, the Company licensed the exclusive rights to MSD (the tradename of Merck & Co., Inc, Rahway, NJ, USA) to develop, use, manufacture and commercialize sac-TMT in all territories outside of Greater China (which includes Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan).

To date, three indications for sac-TMT have been approved and marketed in China for: EGFR mutant-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC following progression on EGFR-TKI therapy and platinum-based chemotherapy; Unresectable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC who have received at least two prior systemic therapies (at least one of them for advanced or metastatic setting); EGFR mutant-positive locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC who progressed after treatment with EGFR-TKI therapy. The first two indications listed above have been included in China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL). This inclusion is expected to bring clinical benefits to a greater number of cancer patients.

Sac-TMT is the world’s first TROP2 ADC drug approved for marketing in lung cancer. In addition, the sNDA for sac-TMT for second-line and above treatment of HR+/HER2- BC was accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration, and was included in the priority review and approval process.

As of today, Kelun-Biotech has initiated 9 registrational clinical studies in China. MSD has initiated 15 ongoing Phase 3 global clinical studies of sac-TMT as a monotherapy or with pembrolizumab or other anti-cancer agents for several types of cancer. These studies are sponsored and led by MSD.

Beginning January 2, 2026, customers can participate in this highly anticipated event. Upon purchasing any ‘Hong Kong Sentiments’ themed products or any Colgate/Plax products totaling HK$68 or more at major retail platforms, customers will receive one complimentary Blind Box* (distributed at random). Furthermore, ecom exclusive, limited-edition Blind Box^ will be available for online shoppers with any purchase of Colgate/Plax products totaling HK$128 or more at designated e-commerce stores—an initiative poised to ignite a city-wide collecting phenomenon.

Colgate envisions these miniature collectibles as versatile companions, whether displayed as calming desk ornaments or carried as functional keychains. By integrating these familiar silhouettes of the city into daily life, the brand seeks to provide a gentle reminder for individuals to embrace a confident, healthy smile. Ultimately, these collectibles serve as an inspiration to maintain a positive and optimistic perspective, empowering the community to navigate daily life with resilience and joy.

Limited-Time Engagement: Discover the Colgate “Hong Kong Sentiments” 3D Posting Box Installations

The excitement of the collection extends from the home to the streets of Hong Kong. To build on this momentum and encourage the community to share the spirit of the city alongside their healthy smiles, Colgate is proud to announce a series of interactive installations from January 9 to February 22, 2026. Strategic brand activations featuring the Colgate “Hong Kong Sentiments” 3D Posting boxes will debut at high-traffic urban hubs across Hong Kong, Kowloon, and the New Territories. These installations will showcase two exclusive commemorative designs: the “Tramway Heritage” edition and the “Victoria Harbour” edition. Members of the public are invited to capture creative photography with their miniature collectibles and share these moments of nostalgia and confident smiles across social media platforms.

Colgate Promotional Campaign: Experiencing Local Heritage Firsthand with a Series of Engaging City-wide Surprises

Furthermore, from January 10 to January 24, 2026, Colgate will host a series of promotional activations across four strategic urban hubs, including Tseung Kwan O, Ma On Shan, Aberdeen, and Tsuen Wan West. In a significant show of support for community wellness, in the upcoming Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, Colgate is also setting up a dedicated cheer point in Tin Hau station to energize participants and spectators alike. These events will center on four interactive highlights: large-scale landmark installations and mascot for public engagement, the distribution of commemorative Hong Kong Sentiments postcards and product vouchers, and an exclusive opportunity to redeem a Colgate Total Plaque Release Toothpaste 18g upon presentation of a same-day purchase receipt. Through these vibrant initiatives and its marathon cheering event, Colgate seeks to integrate oral health awareness into the community’s active lifestyle, encouraging everyone to embrace challenges with a confident and healthy smile.

Colgate captivates social media with a visionary, larger-than-life tribute to Hong Kong, magnifying the city’s iconic landmarks alongside your healthy, confident smile.
