DualityBio Enters a Global Collaboration and License Agreement with Genentech to Develop Next-Generation ADCs Built on DualityBio’s DUPAC Novel-Payload Platform

  • Collaboration leverages DualityBio’s proprietary DUPAC payload platform and early global clinical development capabilities, with Genentech assuming further clinical development and global commercialization
  • DUPAC, one of the DualityBio’s four proprietary ADC technology platforms, comprises multiple payloads with novel mechanism of action designed to address resistance to the payload classes underlying currently approved ADCs
  • DualityBio to receive a US$45 million upfront payment, more than US$1 billion in potential milestone payments, and tiered royalties on net sales

SHANGHAI, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DUALITYBIO Inc. (HKEX: 09606; “DualityBio” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, to develop next-generation antibody-drug conjugates (“ADCs”) built on the Company’s proprietary DualityBio Unique Payload Antibody Conjugate (“DUPAC”) platform.

DUPAC is one of DualityBio’s four proprietary ADC platforms and is dedicated to payloads with novel mechanisms of action. It comprises multiple distinct payloads, each built on a unique antitumor mechanism, paired with optimized and compatible linker technologies designed for systemic stability and tumor-specific release. DUPAC payloads are engineered based on a common set of criteria: high potency, broad-spectrum activity across tumor types, a short systemic half-life permitting rapid clearance, and a bystander effect suited to heterogeneous solid tumors.

As topoisomerase inhibitor–based ADCs move into earlier lines of therapy across major solid tumor indications, patients who progress on this payload class represent a large and growing area of unmet medical need. The DUPAC platform is designed to retain antitumor activity in that setting and in tumors that are less responsive to topoisomerase inhibitor–based ADCs.

Under the terms of the agreement, Duality will generate and develop ADCs against Genentech defined oncology targets using payloads from the DUPAC platform. For the collaboration programs, DualityBio will lead discovery and early global clinical development. Genentech receives an exclusive, worldwide license to the collaboration ADCs, and will assume sole responsibility for further clinical development and commercialization after Phase 1a.

Under the agreement, DualityBio will receive an upfront payment of US$45 million and is eligible to receive more than US$1 billion in aggregate development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments across all programs, together with tiered royalties on annual net sales of approved products.

“As topoisomerase inhibitor–based ADCs achieve broad clinical success and move into earlier lines of therapy, a growing unmet medical need is emerging for patients whose tumors are resistant or refractory to this payload class. We built DUPAC to help address this challenge with a family of next-generation payloads designed to overcome resistance and enable each ADC program to expand the breadth of the underlying tumor biology. By combining DualityBio’s payload innovation and early-stage global clinical development capabilities with Genentech’s deep oncology expertise and worldwide development reach, we can advance these programs with greater speed and scale and bring differentiated medicines to more patients around the world,” said Dr. John Zhu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of DualityBio.

“By further enhancing targeted medicines like ADCs, we focus our innovation where the need is highest,” said Boris L. Zaïtra, head of Roche Corporate Business Development. “Backed by Roche’s decades-long legacy in oncology, collaborating with partners such as DualityBio enables us to identify novel treatment options, such that we can tackle patients’ unmet needs in cancer care.”

About DUPAC

DUPAC (DualityBio Unique Payload Antibody Conjugate) is DualityBio’s proprietary platform for ADC payloads with novel mechanisms of action, and one of four ADC technology platforms developed by the Company alongside DITAC, DIMAC and DIBAC. DUPAC encompasses several payloads, including DUP5, DUP9 and DUP10, each acting through a distinct antitumor mechanism. Preclinical data on DUP5-based ADCs and DUP9-based ADCs, including activity in tumor models relatively insensitive to topoisomerase inhibitor payloads and non-human primate tolerability, have been presented at multiple medical conferences, including AACR 2025 (Abstract 5454), AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference 2025 (Abstract B129 and Abstract B130), and AACR 2026 (Abstract 2657).

About DualityBio

DualityBio is a clinical-stage innovative biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing next-generation antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for patients with cancer and autoimmune diseases. The Company has successfully built multiple next-generation ADC technology platforms with global intellectual property rights. Grounded in a deep understanding of disease biology, DualityBio has established a robust clinical-stage ADC pipeline and is conducting multiple global, multicenter clinical trials across nearly 20 countries, with over 3,500 patients enrolled to date.

Raw-Material Excellence as Quality Foundation

Mr. Antoine Clavier-Choo, Chief Commercial Officer APAC, HTL Biotechnology-a global leader in pharma-grade biopolymers, underscored the raw material quality behind Singfiller and Singderm—drawing directly from HTL’s HA supply. Sourced from French facilities under stringent international pharmaceutical regulations, it is produced via proprietary fermentation and multi-stage purification to yield high-purity fibers.

With more than 30 years of zero batch recalls and manufacturing operations regularly audited by leading healthcare companies worldwide, HTL delivers fibers with consistent quality and reliability.

“Dual Beauty + Dual Wellness” Integrated Business Model Delivers Strong Results

In the first half of 2026, the Group’s “dual beauty + dual wellness” business model delivered strong results. Beauty and wellness services generated revenue of RMB1.09 billion, up 35.7% year-on-year, while gross profit margin reached 44.2%, up 2.1 percentage points from the same period last year. The strong performance was mainly driven by increases in both client visits and average spending. During the Reporting Period, client visits at the Group’s direct beauty and wellness stores reached 1.13 million, up 33% year-on-year.

In May 2026, Beauty Farm, identified as the top brand in China’s premium beauty service sector, officially unveiled its new brand proposition, “Beauty, Beyond”, and jointly released the White Paper on Premium Lifestyle Beauty Services with Ipsos. The brand completed a comprehensive upgrade across four dimensions – core philosophy, visual identity, store service philosophy and scientific research collaboration.

In August 2026, the Group announced that 10 Naturade stores in Hangzhou would be incorporated into its direct-store network, making Hangzhou a key strategic foothold for Naturade’s expansion into the Yangtze River Delta.

In the consumer healthcare segment, the Group officially launched “CellCare Meitian Medical” in August 2026, integrating its aesthetic medical and subhealth medical resources.

Client visits at direct stores reached 20,000, up 8.3% year-on-year, with both volume and price increasing.

Dual Engines of Internal Growth and External Acquisitions Drive Long-Term Growth Momentum

The Group remains committed to the dual-engine strategy of “internal growth + external acquisitions”, leveraging the advantages of its listed-company platform to continue advancing consolidation across the beauty and health industry.

On the internal growth front, the Group continues to refine operating efficiency and build an industry-leading operating model through refined operations and strong middle- and back-office capabilities. During the Reporting Period, revenue per direct store at the flagship Beauty Farm brand increased by 5.5% year-on-year, setting an industry benchmark through exceptional internal operating efficiency and growth capabilities.

On the external acquisitions front, the Group leverages mature systematic capabilities to advance post-acquisition integration efficiently and unlock the full-lifecycle value of its members. Since Siyanli was formally consolidated into the Group’s financial statements in January 2026, the brand has continued to enhance its value in three key areas. First, it upgraded its premium service system by further developing the “five senses and six awarenesses” experience and expanding into premium commercial locations, reinforcing its positioning as a premium service brand. Second, the Group integrated consumer healthcare resources and leveraged Meitian Medical’s extensive clinic network to fully meet the consumer healthcare needs of Siyanli customers. Third, it advanced the integration of middle- and back-office functions by deploying modularized and productized capabilities, enabling resource sharing and synergistic efficiency gains across the supply chain, training, digitalization and other functions. During the Reporting Period, Siyanli’s adjusted net profit margin rose significantly to 11.0%, once again demonstrating the Group’s strong M&A integration capabilities.

Digital Intelligence Powers Personalized Care Maps

The Group is committed to building an enterprise that integrates digital intelligence into its operations and has continuously evolved through informatization, digitalization and intelligent transformation. Over the past decade, it has cumulatively invested more than RMB500 million and built an IT team of around 100 professionals, establishing itself as a leader in digital intelligence development in the beauty and health sector.

During the Reporting Period, the Group achieved multiple breakthroughs in digital intelligence development. In March 2026, Beauty Farm AI Skin Analysis underwent a major upgrade. Powered by extensive skin data and intelligent algorithms, the system can not only analyze customers’ current skin conditions with precision, but also use historical assessment results to predict future changes, creating a personalized and dynamically adjusted long-term care map across three dimensions – skin type, skin tone and skin age. In the first half of 2026, the Group also fully rolled out Naturade’s “AI-Powered Wellness 2.0” system, completing an end-to-end digital closed loop across the customer service journey. Built around five core modules – intelligent detection, reporting, recommendation, conditioning and feedback – the system provides each customer with personalized health and wellness plans covering the full lifecycle.

Capital Market Value Continues to Rise as Shareholder Returns Strengthen

The Company continues to enhance its capital market value by focusing on three key areas: optimizing shareholder structure, maintaining a high dividend payout ratio and implementing management incentives, thereby continuously unlocking long-term investment value. In terms of dividends, the Company has explicitly committed to a stable dividend payout ratio of no less than 50% of the net profit attributable to shareholders for the next three years. The final dividend of HK$0.72 per share for the year ended December 31, 2025 represents a 38% year-on-year increase, and went ex‑dividend on August 19, 2026. In terms of management incentives, the Group has closely linked future revenue and profit targets with equity incentives, and the first-year performance targets have already been exceeded, fully demonstrating the effectiveness of the incentive mechanism. In addition, the Group continues to conduct share buybacks, demonstrating its firm confidence in the Company’s long-term development through concrete actions.

Looking Ahead: Building on Three Core Competitive Advantages and Advancing the Three Super Strategies

In August 2026, the Group officially announced the renaming and upgrade of its group brand from “Beauty Farm Medical and Health Group” to “BFG Meitian Group”. The Group’s ability to navigate market cycles over the past 33 years is underpinned by three core competitive advantages. First, it has built a diversified premium beauty and health brand portfolio, spanning beauty and wellness and consumer healthcare, and encompassing the top three beauty service chain brands in China, with a base of 300,000 premium female customers at direct stores during the past 33 years. Second, it has established a strong nationwide store network. According to Winshang Data, the Group’s brands have a 42% coverage rate in premium commercial locations across 20 high-tier cities, approaching half. Third, the Group has developed industry-leading AI and digital-intelligence capabilities. At the front end, it has built a refined operating system based on customer segmentation, store typology and project classification; in the middle and back office, it strengthens systematic capability building to fully release economies of scale; and in M&A integration, it deploys digital-intelligence capabilities to realize the synergistic vision of “integration upon acquisition, efficiency gains upon integration”.

Looking ahead, the Group will build on these three core competitive advantages and continue to advance its Three Super Strategies to guide high-quality development over the next five years. Under Super Brand, the Group will continue to enhance product strength and service standards, create “exceptional experiences that exceed expectations”, and reshape the value proposition of the beauty industry. Under Super Chain, it aims to cultivate 20 super cities each generating more than RMB100 million in revenue, continue its global curation and dedicated R&D approach, and strengthen supply chain autonomy and control. Under Super Digitalization, it will continue to build digital intelligence and AI infrastructure and strive to become a benchmark for digital-intelligence-led beauty and health service chains.

NECA Expands Telehealth Care with New Counselling and Dietitian Support

NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia strengthens free specialist support for patients, carers, and families affected by neuroendocrine cancer.

SYDNEY, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia (NECA) has expanded its national telehealth service to include dedicated counselling and dietitian support for the 31,000+ Australians affected by neuroendocrine cancer (NETs), a complex group of cancers that develop from specialised cells involved in producing hormones.

NECA Expands Telehealth Care with New Counselling and Dietitian Support
NECA Expands Telehealth Care with New Counselling and Dietitian Support

The new services build on NECA’s established NET Nurse program and are available free to patients, families and carers via telephone or Microsoft Teams.

“A diagnosis of neuroendocrine cancer changes everything,” said Meredith Cummins, NECA CEO. “People are navigating a disease which is poorly understood, has complex treatments and symptoms that can affect every part of daily life, often without access to specialists who understand NETs. Expanding our telehealth services means Australians can access informed, practical support wherever they live.”

Counselling Services

  • Emotional and psychological support for patients, families and carers.
  • Confidential counselling to help manage anxiety, uncertainty and the wider impacts of diagnosis.
  • Practical strategies to support coping and wellbeing.

Dietitian Services

  • Personalised nutritional guidance relevant to neuroendocrine cancer.
  • Support for symptoms and nutrition challenges associated with hormonal syndromes and treatment.
  • Guidance to support nutrition, health and quality of life.

“Nutrition and emotional wellbeing are among the greatest unmet needs we hear about from patients,” said Cummins. “These challenges can have a significant impact on day-to-day life during and beyond treatment. Bringing counselling and dietitian support into our telehealth service allows us to respond more holistically to what patients and families actually need.”

National Telehealth Access

The service helps address barriers faced by people who may not have access to specialist NET support locally, including those in regional and remote communities.

Services are available Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm AEST. Call 1300 287 363 or email netnurse@neuroendocrine.org.au. Support in other languages is available through TIS National on 13 14 50.

About NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia
NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia is the only Australian not-for-profit charity dedicated to supporting people affected by neuroendocrine cancers. NECA provides specialist nurse support, education, advocacy and research funding to improve awareness, earlier diagnosis and patient outcomes across Australia.

About Kazia Therapeutics

Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA) is an oncology-focused drug development company, based in Sydney, Australia. The Company’s lead asset, paxalisib, is an investigational brain penetrant inhibitor of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, which is being developed to treat multiple forms of cancer. Licensed from Genentech in late 2016, paxalisib is or has been the subject of over 15 clinical trials. A completed Phase 2/3 study in glioblastoma (GBM AGILE) was reported in 2024, and discussions are ongoing for designing and executing a pivotal registrational study in pursuit of a standard approval. Other clinical trials involving paxalisib are ongoing in advanced breast cancer, brain metastases, diffuse midline gliomas, and primary central nervous system lymphoma, with several of these trials having reported encouraging interim data. Paxalisib was granted Orphan Drug Designation for glioblastoma by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2018, and Fast Track Designation (FTD) for glioblastoma in August 2020. Paxalisib was also granted FTD in July 2023 for the treatment of solid tumor brain metastases harboring PI3K pathway mutations in combination with radiation therapy. Additionally, paxalisib was granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Orphan Drug Designation by the FDA for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma in August 2020 and for atypical teratoid / rhabdoid tumors in June 2022 and July 2022, respectively. Kazia is also developing EVT801, a small molecule inhibitor of VEGFR3, which was licensed from Evotec SE in April 2021. In addition to its clinical-stage programs, Kazia is advancing NDL2, a potentially first-in-class intracellular PD-L1 protein degrader program targeting a newly identified mechanism of immunotherapy resistance and metastatic progression, as well as MSETC, a potentially first-in-class SETDB1 inhibitor program intended to restore immune signaling in tumors that have become resistant to immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors. Both programs are currently in preclinical development.

Kazia Therapeutics Reports 100% Clinical Benefit Rate in Initial Six Patients Treated for Advanced Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Durable Complete Metabolic Response Ongoing Since November 2025

All Evaluable Patients Demonstrated Reductions in Metastasis-Associated CTC Clusters and Terminally Exhausted T cells, With Median Reductions of 83% and 51% Respectively

No Treatment-Related Serious Adverse Events Observed

SYDNEY, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA) (“Kazia” or the “Company”), an oncology-focused biotechnology company developing therapies that selectively reprogram cancer biology, restore anti-tumor immunity and overcome treatment resistance, today announced new data showing its lead asset, paxalisib, achieved a 100% clinical benefit rate in six evaluable patients with Stage IV triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Five of the six patients achieved an objective response – a measurable 30% or greater reduction in tumor burden after treatment – including one complete response and four partial responses, resulting in an objective response rate of 83 percent. The remaining patient achieved stable disease. Importantly, these results were achieved with the convenience of oral dosing and a favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no paxalisib-related serious adverse events and no grade 3 or higher hyperglycemia, stomatitis or mucositis, toxicities commonly associated with PI3K/mTOR pathway inhibition.

“Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer is one of the toughest cancers to treat. Historically, only 12 percent of patients are alive five years after diagnosis. Once a patient’s disease progresses on immunotherapy, options run out quickly,” said Dr. John Friend, CEO, Kazia Therapeutics. “Across the six evaluable patients treated, every one of them has benefited, and we haven’t seen a single serious adverse event tied to paxalisib. We’ve also demonstrated meaningful improvements in terminally exhausted T cells and drastic reductions in circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters, providing early evidence that paxalisib may be addressing biological mechanisms associated with treatment resistance and metastasis. These results strengthen our confidence in this program as we continue enrollment in the Phase 1b trial.”

Clinical responses were observed across a broad range of metastatic disease sites, including lung, liver, bone, lymph node and central nervous system target lesions, with responses emerging as early as approximately three months post-randomization. Most notably, a 44-year-old woman with Stage IV TNBC achieved a complete metabolic response and has had no evidence of disease since November 2025. Her response has remained durable through the most recent assessment and has been accompanied by sustained and complete abolishment of CTC clusters and significant reduction in terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells, alongside overall improvement in markers of immune function.

Translational analyses demonstrated reductions in terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells across all six patients, with a median reduction of 51 percent within approximately three weeks of treatment. These cells represent a dysfunctional population of cytotoxic T cells that has lost its ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. Notably, total CD8+ T cell counts remained unchanged, which suggests that paxalisib is not eliminating these exhausted cells or replacing them with new ones. Instead, the existing cells appear to be regaining function. Blood-based simultaneous multi-modal protein, RNA and plasma profiling supported this finding, demonstrating increases in immune cell populations associated with anti-tumor activity, reductions in markers of immune exhaustion and evidence of PI3K-AKT pathway target engagement. The marker findings provide evidence of improved overall immune function across all patients.

In parallel with the immune changes, all six patients demonstrated reductions in circulating tumor cell clusters, which are aggressive groupings of tumor cells in the bloodstream associated with metastatic spread. The median reduction was 83 percent within six to seven weeks of treatment.

“Two of the biggest challenges in treating triple-negative breast cancer are the dormant cancer cells that spread through the bloodstream, and an immune system too exhausted to fight them. It’s rare to see a treatment influence both at the same time. After years of studying this disease, it’s exciting to witness this in a clinical setting. The circulating tumor cell clusters that seed new metastases are being suppressed, while the exhausted T cells needed to fight the cancer are recovering function and showing signs of immune memory, which may translate to more durable responses. These changes in the blood are tracking with what we are seeing on the scans, which suggests our liquid biopsy approach may be capturing both the tumor’s metastatic behavior and the immune system’s response to treatment in real time. It gives us a remarkable window into the disease, and we look forward to building on these findings as the trial progresses,” said Dr. Sudha Rao, Chief Scientific Officer, Kazia Therapeutics.

These early biological findings represent what may be a first-in-class effect and suggest that paxalisib’s therapeutic effect may extend beyond cytoplasmic PI3K/mTOR inhibition. The rapid and consistent biological responses observed across all evaluable patients support the hypothesis that paxalisib may exert dual influence by restoring immune function and reducing metastatic dissemination, addressing two of the greatest challenges in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer and fundamental drivers of cancer progression.

Enrollment in the Company’s ongoing Phase 1b study evaluating paxalisib in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) and chemotherapy in advanced metastatic TNBC is expected to be completed by July 2027, with interim clinical updates anticipated throughout 2026 and 2027.
