[Slide 1] Achieved comprehensive coverage across core lung cancer indications, establishing a complete multi-line therapy portfolio Ivonescimab has achieved comprehensive coverage across core lung cancer indications and established a complete multi-line therapy portfolio, demonstrating its potential to transform the global treatment paradigm for advanced lung cancer. The first approved indication of ivonescimab is for the treatment of EGFR-mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC progressed after EGFR-TKI treatment. This indication was approved in Mav 2024 and successfully included in the NRDL in 2025. In August 2025, the Company announced that the final OS analysis of this clinical trial showed that ivonescimab met the OS clinical endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful OS benefit. Detailed results of this study will be presented at an upcoming medical conference. During the Reporting Period, this treatment received 4 authoritative clinical guidelines as recommendation, including a Class I recommendation in the CSCO Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (2025). In April 2025, the sNDA for ivonescimab as monotherapy for the first-line treatment of PD-L1-positive, locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC received approval from the NMPA. This marks the second approved indication for ivonescimab, providing a novel, efficacious and safe "chemo-free" regimen for first-line NSCLC. This treatment was granted a prominent recommendation in the CSCO Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (2025).

[Slide 1] ASCO Sign in Ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutant non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who progressed on EGFR tyrosine- kinase inhibitor treatment (HARMONi-A): A randomized, double-blind, multi-center, phase 3 trial. Abstract Authors Li Zhang i Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, China Li Zhang, Wenfeng Fang, Yuanyuan Zhao, Yongzhong Luo, Runxiang Yang, Yan Huang, Zhiyong He, Hui Zhao, Mingjun Li, Kai Li, Qibin Song, Xiaobo Du, Yulan Sun, Wei Li, Fei Xu, Zhiyu Wang, Kunning Yang, Yun Fan, Wenting Li, Yu Xia --- [Slide 2] Background: Ivonescimab (AK112/SMT112) is a anti-PD- 1/VEGF bispecific antibody. Previous phase I/II clinical studies have shown potential efficacy of ivonescimab in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations who had failed prior EGFR-TKIs therapies. This phase 3 study aimed to evaluate and confirm the efficacy and safety of ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in this population. Methods: Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive ivonescimab (20 mg/kg) plus pemetrexed (500 mg/m²) and carboplatin (AUC 5) or placebo plus chemotherapy once every 3 weeks for four cycles, with stratification according to the third- generation EGFR-TKI (received vs not received) and brain metastases (presence vs absence), followed by maintenance therapy of ivonescimab and pemetrexed or placebo and pemetrexed. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) in intention-to-treat (ITT) population assessed by independent radiographic review committee (IRRC) per RECIST v1.1. Here we report the results of the first planned interim analysis. --- [Slide 3] Results: Total 322 patients were randomized (161 to the ivonescimab plus chemotherapy arm, 161 to the placebo plus chemotherapy arm). 86.3% versus 85.1% of patients had received the third generation EGFR-TKIs treatment, 21.7% versus 23.0% of patients had brain metastases. As of March 10, 2023, median follow up time was 7.89 months. PFS was significantly improved in the ivonescimab plus chemotherapy arm (HR 0.46 [0.34, 0.62], P < 0.0001). Median PFS (95%CI) by IRRC were 7.06m (5.85, 8.74) in the ivonescimab arm versus 4.80m (4.21, 5.55) in chemotherapy arm. The prespecified subgroup analysis showed PFS benefit favoring patients receiving ivonescimab over placebo across almost all subgroups, including in patients who progressed on the third-generation EGFR-TKIs therapy (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.35-0.66), those with brain metastases (HR 0.40, 0.22-0.73), those with EGFR mutation of deletion 19 (HR 0.48, 0.32- 0.73), and individuals with T790M mutation positive (HR 0.22, 0.09-0.54). The ORR were 50.6% and 35.4%, respectively. Grade ≥3 TEAEs occurred in 99 (61.5%) patients versus 79 (49.1%) patients, the most common grade ≥3 TEAEs were chemotherapy related adverse events. Grade ≥3 immune-related adverse events occurred in 10 (6.2%) patients versus 4 (2.5%). Grade ≥3 VEGF blocking related adverse events occurred in 5 patients (3.1%) versus 4 patients (2.5%). --- [Slide 4] Conclusions: Ivonescimab plus chemotherapy significantly improved PFS while maintaining a manageable safety profile in patients who had failed EGFR- TKIs treatments. Clinical trial information: NCT05184712.

About the HARMONi-A Trial

HARMONi-A (AK112-301) is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind clinical trial evaluating ivonescimab, a first-in-class PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody, combined with pemetrexed and carboplatin versus placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with EGFR-mutant non-squamous NSCLC who progressed after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. The trial enrolled 322 patients and was conducted in China by Akeso. HARMONi-A is the first Phase III immunotherapy study in EGFR-TKI-resistant NSCLC to achieve positive results across both co-primary endpoints of PFS and OS, demonstrating concurrent survival benefits in a setting where PD-1 monoclonal antibodies have previously failed.

Trial Methodology & Results

Study Design

Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Patients received ivonescimab 20 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks in combination with pemetrexed and carboplatin, or placebo plus the same chemotherapy backbone. Co-primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

Population

Adults with locally advanced or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC harboring EGFR sensitizing mutations who experienced disease progression following prior EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. ECOG performance status 0-1; any PD-L1 expression status. 322 patients enrolled across Chinese sites.

Interventions

Ivonescimab 20 mg/kg IV every 3 weeks plus pemetrexed and carboplatin versus placebo plus pemetrexed and carboplatin.

Primary Endpoints

Co-primary endpoints: progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The related global HARMONi trial evaluated overall response rate, duration of response, and safety as secondary endpoints.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

At a median follow-up of 7.89 months, median PFS was 7.1 months (95% CI: 5.9–8.7) in the ivonescimab group versus 4.8 months (95% CI: 4.2–5.6) in the placebo group (HR 0.46; 95% CI: 0.34–0.62; p<0.001), representing a 54% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death. All prespecified subgroups showed PFS benefit favoring ivonescimab, including patients with brain metastases and those who received third-generation EGFR TKIs.

PFS HR 0.46 — 54% risk reduction

Overall Survival (OS)

Final OS analysis at a median follow-up of 32.5 months demonstrated that ivonescimab combination therapy reduced the risk of death by 26% compared with chemotherapy alone, achieving statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival. HARMONi-A is the first Phase III immunotherapy trial in EGFR-TKI-resistant NSCLC to show both PFS and OS benefit. Final OS results were presented at SITC 2025 (Abstract 1348).

Safety & Tolerability

The long-term safety profile of ivonescimab plus chemotherapy remained favorable with no new safety signals identified. Rates of common treatment-related adverse events were comparable between treatment and control groups. The most common adverse events were hematological toxicities, transaminitis, and elevated serum creatinine. Common immune-related adverse events included rash and hypothyroidism; rare events included interstitial lung disease and liver dysfunction. VEGF-related adverse events included proteinuria and hypertension. Adverse events (both immune-related and anti-VEGF-related) were less frequent with ivonescimab compared to separate anti-VEGF and anti-PD-1 agents.

Favorable safety — no new signals

Clinical Implications

HARMONi-A establishes ivonescimab plus chemotherapy as the first immunotherapy combination to show both PFS and OS benefit in EGFR-TKI-resistant NSCLC, a setting where prior PD-1 monoclonal antibodies have failed. Key clinical debates include the generalizability of China-only data to global populations, the positioning versus amivantamab-based regimens (MARIPOSA-2/LUNAR), and the pending FDA BLA review (PDUFA Nov 14, 2026). The global HARMONi trial (NCT06396065) confirmed PFS benefit across a broader multiregional population (median PFS 6.8 vs 4.4 months; HR 0.52; p<0.0001), with notable intracranial activity (brain mets PFS HR 0.53). Ivonescimab received NMPA approval in China in May 2024 and was added to the National Reimbursement Drug List in November 2024.

● POSITIVE #TTLC25 Leave it to @BalazsHalmosMD (King of Memes) to present data for next IO/VEGF inhibitors (I.e ivonescimab) to compete for the Crown of 1L NSCLC therapy in the most memorable way. #lcsm https://t.co/55PdyY8TpG
● POSITIVE Prvsly, ivonescimab (a PD-1 and VEGF bispecific antibody) showed benefit for pts w/ EGFR+ tumors not responding to TKIs. HARMONi-A compares ivo + chemo vs chemo alone. PFS improved w/ ivo. Trial is expanding globally. New SOC in China. #ASCO24 #lcsm
● POSITIVE It's great to see Wenfeng Fang and Li Zhang presenting results on the phase II OptiTROP-Lung01 and the phase III trial of HARMONi-A at #ASCO24 today. Read more from them and colleagues in this popular #JITC article: https://t.co/u9C1ZKm06Y https://t.

● POSITIVE After MARIPOSA-2, the second bispecific antibody in the OSI-resistant setting. We're still carrying chemotherapy with us, but the results (though only from an Asian cohort) are intriguing and open new horizons in NSCLC. #LungCancer #ASCO24 #LCSM http

@chuminhua432
● POSITIVE 5/Ivonescimab's Fc region is specially engineered with two key mutations, L234A and L235A. These modifications block FcγRI/IIIa binding, effectively inhibiting multiple Fc-mediated effector functions.

● POSITIVE @dr_yakupergun @BalazsHalmosMD Hmm.. Lazertinib does not seem as bothered by this. Maybe because its confidence is increasing with HARMONi-A being positive for OS in 2nd line (#wclc25 ), and SubQ Ami is coming hopefully soon... no sweat!

● NEUTRAL @TejasPatilMD @EGFRResisters @lcsmchat Can’t all this be squared by accepting the premise that VEGF does modify the microenviroment making ICIs more effective? No idea why everyone is attributing Harmoni PFS benefit to VEGF inhibition alone. Specious
