The drug is a type of antitumor ADC drug (antibody-drug conjugate, ADC) for Trop-2 target, which is intended to be developed for treatment of solid tumors. In normal tissues of the human body, Trop-2 (human trophoblast cell surface glycoprotein antigen) is expressed at different levels, but its expression level is significantly increased in various carcinomas, such as breast cancer, lung cancer, and stomach cancer. High Trop-2 expression plays an important role in promoting tumor development. The Drug combines with Trop-2 to deliver anti-cancer drug molecules to kill cancer cells. The research goal is to explore suitable indications and corresponding therapeutic windows.

Due to the high-tech,high-risk and high-value-added characteristics of pharmaceutical products, and the long cycle and numerous stages in the process, there are uncertainties in drug research, development and commercialization. These many stages make it susceptible to uncertainties and therefore, investors are advised to make cautious decisions and pay careful attention to investment risks. The Company will actively facilitate the above research and development project and fulfill its information disclosure obligations in a timely manner for subsequent progress in strict accordance with relevant regulations.
