Conducting an initial clinical trial, the objective is to assess how well patients with progressing solid tumors can tolerate the novel therapeutic agent HBM9027, as well as to evaluate the drug's pharmacokinetic properties, safety measures, and effectiveness in combating cancer. HBM9027 originates from the innovative HBICE® technology owned by Harbour BioMed. This groundbreaking PD-L1xCD40 dual-specificity antibody is engineered to initiate CD40 signaling only in the presence of PD-L1 engagement, which is anticipated to offer a favorable safety profile.

Frequently found in high amounts on various solid tumor types, PD-L1, when targeted by HBM9027, links to CD40 in a manner selective to cancer cells, consequently enabling potent modulation of the immune response. According to previous laboratory investigations, HBM9027 has revealed itself to be both exceedingly safe and efficacious against cancer cells.

Emphasizing the promise of HBM9027, Dr. Jingsong Wang, the architect behind Harbour BioMed, asserts that the molecule's impressive safety track record and strong anti-cancer properties have been pivotal in showcasing the potent potential of their HBICE® platform. Dr. Jingsong Wang maintains a position of Chairman and CEO at the firm and believes wholeheartedly that Harbour BioMed's dedication to novel research will significantly enhance cancer treatments.

HBM9027 emerges as an innovative PD-L1xCD40 dual-specificity antibody, articulated through Harbour's HBICE bispecific engineering and Harbour Mice technology. The progression of PD-L1xCD40 using the HBICE approach extends the company's repertoire within the burgeoning realm of direct DC/myeloid cell engagement. Notably, the HBICE platform is reputed for its flexible geometric configurations and its capacity for seamless integration within novel therapeutic strategies.
