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