3 June 2024
Junshi Biosciences, a leading biopharmaceutical company, focuses on the development of innovative therapies across various medical fields. The company has made significant strides in oncology with the introduction of toripalimab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, which became the first domestically produced anti-PD-1 drug to be marketed in China in December 2018. This breakthrough was further cemented with the FDA's approval of toripalimab under the brand name LOQTORZI™ in October 2023, marking it as the first Chinese independently developed and manufactured innovative biological drug to be approved by the FDA.

The company's pipeline extends beyond oncology, encompassing treatments for autoimmune diseases, chronic metabolism disorders, neurological conditions, and infectious diseases. For autoimmune conditions, Junshi Biosciences is developing drugs targeting TNF-α and IL-17A pathways, with products such as adalimumab and JS005. In metabolic diseases, the company is working on PCSK9 inhibitors and uricase enzymes, represented by drugs like angorixizumab and JS103. Neurological therapies include JS010, which targets the CGRP receptor, and for infectious diseases, the company has developed etesevimab, an S protein antibody, and deuridine deoxyribonucleic acid (RdRp) inhibitors like hydrogen bromide deuridine remdesivir.

Junshi Biosciences' commitment to innovation is evident in their diverse therapeutic focus areas, which include a robust pipeline of over 50 drug candidates. The company's mission is to provide patients with innovative, trustworthy, and affordable drugs, reflecting their dedication to improving global health.
