Developer of γδ T Cell Therapeutics

Recently, Beijing Qinghui Lienuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Qinghui Lienuo") independently developed the world's first off-the-shelf universal CAR-γδ T cell injection targeting B7H3, QH104A (acceptance number: CXSL2500546), which has officially received the clinical trial implied permission from the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). It is intended for the treatment of recurrent or progressive malignant tumors in the central nervous system. Previously, this product had already obtained the Investigational New Drug (IND) approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2025. QH104A is the first allogeneic cell drug for solid tumors to achieve dual filings and approvals in both China and the United States, and it is also one of the fastest progressing products globally among cell therapies targeting the same site. The product demonstrated good safety and efficacy in earlier IIT studies, and preparations for Phase I clinical research are almost complete.

Approval in Both China and the U.S. Demonstrates Global Innovation Strength

Obtaining clinical trial approvals from the U.S. FDA and China CDE within four months indicates that the preclinical research data, production processes, and quality systems of QH104A have all met the consistent standards of international regulatory authorities. This is not only a high recognition of the product's innovative potential but also strong evidence that Qinghui Lianuo's R&D system has the capability to compete globally, laying a solid foundation for subsequent global synchronized development.



Breakthrough in Source Innovation: Exploring New Pathways for the Treatment of Central Nervous System Tumors

"Malignant tumors of the central nervous system" have a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. QH104A combines the innate immune recognition properties of γδ T cells with the precise targeting ability of CAR technology, enabling deeper and more sustained tumor killing and control. Additionally, the "off-the-shelf" design offers advantages in drug accessibility, providing a novel solution to break the clinical deadlock for malignant tumors of the central nervous system.



Independent Process Platform: Making Affordable Quality Medicines for the People

The realization of QH104A's "off-the-shelf universal" design relies on the efficient and stable production process system independently developed by Qinghui Lianuo. This platform has overcome key bottlenecks in large-scale preparation and cost control for allogeneic cell therapies, serving as the core guarantee to make "off-the-shelf" cell treatment drugs accessible and affordable. The successful dual filing of QH104A in China and the United States reflects regulatory recognition of the platform’s potential and reliability, laying a solid foundation for the development of more product varieties in the future.




"QH104A's successful dual filing in China and the US marks a crucial milestone in the development history of Qinghui Lianuo," said Hui Zhao, co-founder and CEO of Qinghui Lianuo. "This achievement reflects the team's relentless exploration and innovation in the field of γδ T cells. We will fully advance the clinical trials of this product in both China and the US, and actively explore its potential applications in a broader range of solid tumors."

Standing at a new starting point, Qinghui Lianuo will continue to focus on the γδ T cell therapy field, relying on its unique technological innovation platform to continuously advance the development of more innovative pipelines, fulfilling its corporate mission of "Uniting innovative forces, adhering to the commitment to health."
