Hangzhou, China, June 11, 2025 – Zhejiang Doer Biologics Co., Ltd. ("Doer Biologics"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative biotherapeutics for metabolic diseases and cancer, today announced the successful dosing of the first patient in a Phase Ib/IIa clinical trial of DR30206, its novel tri-targeted multi-specific drug, in combination with standard chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal tumors. The trial is being conducted at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University).

DR30206 for Injection is a Class 1 therapeutic biologic independently developed by Doer Biologics with global intellectual property rights. DR30206 is an antibody fusion protein targeting PD-L1, VEGF, and TGF-β. By blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway, it restores the proliferation of exhausted CD8+T cells; by specifically binding to free VEGF and TGF-β, it reduces the formation of tumor neovascularization while relieving immunosuppression, thereby achieving the purpose of killing tumors.

On June 28, 2023, Doer Biologics received the "Clinical Trial Approval Notice" issued by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The clinical trial application for injectable DR30206 was approved, allowing DR30206 to proceed with clinical trials for the treatment of patients with advanced solid tumors. On April 16, 2025, the first subject was dosed in the Phase Ib clinical trial for non-small cell lung cancer treatment. On April 3, 2025, Doer Biologics received another "Clinical Trial Approval Notice" from the NMPA, approving DR30206 to conduct clinical trials in combination with standard chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal tumors.

The completed non-clinical studies have demonstrated that DR30206 has a clear mechanism of action and activity in inhibiting tumor growth. The ongoing Phase Ia dose-escalation and Phase Ib expansion clinical trials have both observed good safety and preliminary anti-tumor efficacy signals for DR30206.

The Phase Ib clinical study of DR30206 in combination with standard chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal tumors plans to enroll patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer, or who have progressed after receiving first-line chemotherapy with or without targeted therapy or immunotherapy. The Phase IIa clinical study plans to enroll colorectal cancer patients who have not previously received systemic chemotherapy or who have progressed after receiving first-line chemotherapy with or without targeted therapy or immunotherapy, as well as other patients with gastrointestinal tumors.

DR30206 is an innovative tri-specific biologic drug designed, modified, and developed using Doer Biologics' proprietary SMART-VHHBody and MultipleBody® platform technologies. It exhibits high affinity and excellent specificity for three targets: PD-L1, VEGF, and TGF-β. Non-clinical studies have shown that DR30206 demonstrates potent anti-tumor activity in multiple models related to gastrointestinal cancers.

Chief Operating Officer of Doer Biologics

We are encouraged by the progress of the ongoing Phase Ib/IIa clinical study of DR30206. The ongoing Phase Ia dose-escalation and Phase Ib expansion stages of the clinical trial have demonstrated good tolerability of DR30206 in humans, along with preliminary anti-tumor efficacy signals in patients with various types of solid tumors. The enrollment and dosing of the first subject in the Phase Ib/IIa study at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (Sun Yat-sen University Affiliated Tumor Hospital) marks another significant advancement in the clinical development of DR30206. We look forward to DR30206 providing a new treatment option for patients with gastrointestinal tumors in the future.
