RemeGen Co., Ltd. announced that two of its innovative drugs, a dual-targeted TACI-Fc fusion protein, Telitacicept (RC18) for treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), Disitamab Vedotin (RC48) for treating locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, have been officially included in this year's National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL). SLE has one of the highest mortality and disability rates among autoimmune rheumatic diseases. According to Frost & Sullivan, approximately 7.8 million patients will be diagnosed with SLE in 2020, and it is estimated to reach 8.6 million by 2030. There is a substantial unmet medical need for more effective and better-tolerated therapies for the treatment of SLE. Telitacicept is a first-in-class fusion protein product capable of simultaneously inhibiting the binding of two cytokines: a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) and recombinant B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) proved with higher efficacy in treating SLE. Disitamab Vedotin is China's first domestically made antibody-drug conjugate indicated for HER2-expressing locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer. According to Frost & Sullivan, gastric cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths globally. Almost one million people are diagnosed annually, and over 700,000 patients die from the disease. The prevalence of cancer in China forces heavy burdens onto the shoulders of disease-stricken individuals and their families. The NRDL was formed to alleviate the financial pressures of falling ill. Increasing the availability of therapeutic drugs, such as Telitacicept and Disitamab Vedotin, is also conducive to improving hospital access, establishing the RemeGen brand, and facilitating subsequent business development.
