Junshi Biosciences, a leading company in the biopharmaceutical sector, has made significant strides in developing innovative treatments across various medical fields. The company's focus spans from oncology to autoimmune, chronic metabolic, neurological, and infectious diseases. Here is a summary of their key developments and achievements:

Oncology:
Junshi Biosciences has been at the forefront of cancer treatment with the development of Toripalimab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. This drug has shown promise in treating various types of cancer, including melanoma and lung cancer. In December 2018, Toripalimab received approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), marking a milestone as the first domestically developed anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody to be marketed in China. Furthermore, in October 2023, the drug gained approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the brand name LOQTORZI™, becoming the first Chinese independently developed and manufactured innovative biological drug to be approved by the FDA.

Autoimmune Diseases:
The company has also made inroads into treating autoimmune diseases with drugs like Adalimumab, which targets the TNF-α pathway, and JS005, which is aimed at IL-17A. Additionally, UBP1213sc, a drug targeting BLyS, is under development.

Chronic Metabolic Diseases:
In the realm of chronic metabolic diseases, Junshi Biosciences is developing treatments such as Angorixizumab, which targets the PCSK9 pathway, and JS103, a Uricase enzyme, along with JS401, which is designed to target ANGPTL3.

Neurological Disorders:
The company is also exploring treatments for neurological conditions with JS010, a drug candidate for CGRP-related disorders.

Infectious Diseases:
Infectious disease treatments are another area of focus, with Etesevimab, an antibody targeting the S protein of the virus, and Hydroxychloroquine, an antiviral medication, among the company's pipeline.

Junshi Biosciences' commitment to innovation is evident through its diverse R&D pipeline, which includes over 50 drug candidates. The company's mission is to provide patients with innovative, trustworthy, and affordable drugs. With a global outlook, the company has a presence in both the United States and China, with approximately 3,000 employees working across various locations. The company's dedication to research and development has led to several of its innovations reaching the market, with Toripalimab being a prime example of its success in both Chinese and international markets.
