HanchorBio Presents Two ASCO 2026 Abstracts Highlighting HCB101 Combination Activity and HCB301 First-in-Human Clinical Progress<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Data support HCB101 as a differentiated innate immune checkpoint backbone across monotherapy and standard-of-care combination settings<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

[Taipei, Shanghai, San Francisco<\/strong> | June 1, 2026<\/strong>] \u2013 HanchorBio, Inc. (TWSE: 7827), a global clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing next-generation immunotherapies for oncology and autoimmune diseases, today announced updated clinical data for HCB101 and HCB301 presented at the 2026 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The presentations highlight HanchorBio\u2019s advancing clinical pipeline in innate immunity and multifunctional immuno-oncology. HCB101 is the Company\u2019s differentiated SIRP\u03b1-IgG4 Fc fusion protein designed to block the CD47\/SIRP\u03b1 innate immune checkpoint while reducing hematologic liability. \u00a0HCB301 is a first-in-class tri-specific fusion protein designed to coordinate modulation of CD47\/SIRP\u03b1, PD-L1\/PD-1, and TGF-\u03b2\/TGF\u03b2-R pathways within a single molecule.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe the ASCO data further support HCB101 as a differentiated innate immune checkpoint backbone with broad combination potential,\u201d said Scott Liu, PhD, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of HanchorBio<\/strong>.\u00a0 \u201cUsing AlphaFold-guided structural modeling within our FBDB\u2122 platform, we engineered HCB101 to enhance and sustain receptor occupancy while reducing the hematologic limitations that challenged earlier anti-CD47 molecules. The emerging clinical data across monotherapy and combination settings support HCB101\u2019s potential for future registrational development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key HCB101 Clinical Highlights Presented at ASCO 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the ongoing HCB101-101<\/u><\/strong> first-in-human Phase 1 monotherapy study, dose escalation has reached 36 mg\/kg with manageable safety and no maximum tolerated dose identified. Across 67 treated patients, treatment-related adverse events were predominantly Grade 1\u20132, with no Grade 3 anemia observed.<\/p>\n

HCB101 demonstrated durable monotherapy antitumor activity, including confirmed partial responses in:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with ~42% tumor reduction and durability beyond 68 weeks<\/li>\n
  • Marginal zone lymphoma with approximately 89% tumor reduction<\/li>\n
  • Eleven additional cases of durable stable disease across multiple tumor types<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    In the HCB101-201<\/u><\/strong> multicohort combination study, HCB101 demonstrated encouraging activity across multiple standard-of-care regimens without compromising partner dosing or introducing unexpected overlapping toxicities.<\/p>\n

    In second-line gastric cancer, HCB101 combined with ramucirumab and paclitaxel achieved:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Overall ORR of 57.1% (8\/14)<\/li>\n
    • ORR of 80% in the mature mid-dose cohorts (5.12\u20138 mg\/kg)<\/li>\n
    • Deep tumor regressions up to 78.2%<\/li>\n
    • Ongoing responses beyond 34 weeks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Additional combination signals included:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • 80% ORR and 100% DCR in first-line HER2-positive gastric cancer<\/li>\n
      • 50% ORR and 100% DCR in first-line triple-negative breast cancer<\/li>\n
      • A confirmed partial response in colorectal cancer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/p>\n

        \u201cThe HCB101 data presented at ASCO represent one of the broadest clinical datasets reported to date for a macrophage checkpoint inhibitor across monotherapy and multiple combination settings,\u201d said Alvin Luk, PhD, MBA, CCRA, President & Chief Medical Officer (Group) and CEO (U.S.A.) of HanchorBio<\/strong>. \u201cThe HCB101-201 data in second-line gastric cancer support a clear development rationale for advancing HCB101 in combination with established standard-of-care therapy as a potential combination-enabling innate immune backbone for future registrational development.\u201d<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        The HCB301<\/u><\/strong> abstract presents first-in-human Phase 1 data supporting the clinical feasibility of coordinated modulation of innate, adaptive, and TGF-\u03b2 pathways with a single molecule. \u00a0As of February 2026, HCB301 demonstrated manageable safety, approximately linear PK, and early evidence of immune modulation in heavily pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        \u201cWe believe HCB301 represents an important next-generation evolution beyond conventional checkpoint combinations,\u201d added Dr. Luk. \u201cThe ability to coordinate SIRP\u03b1, PD-L1, and TGF-\u03b2 modulation within a single molecule may offer a differentiated strategy for immune-resistant tumors.\u201d<\/p>\n

        About HCB101<\/strong><\/p>\n

        HCB101 is a rationally engineered SIRP\u03b1\u2013IgG4 Fc fusion protein designed to selectively block the CD47\u2013SIRP\u03b1 innate immune checkpoint while minimizing hematologic toxicity associated with earlier-generation CD47-targeted therapies. HCB101 is being evaluated as monotherapy and in combination with standard-of-care regimens across multiple tumor types, including gastric, colorectal, head-and-neck, and triple-negative breast cancers.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        About HCB301<\/strong><\/p>\n

        HCB301 is an investigational tri-specific fusion protein designed to simultaneously modulate the CD47\/SIRP\u03b1, PD-L1\/PD-1, and TGF-\u03b2\/TGF\u03b2-R pathways. The molecule is intended to simultaneously trigger innate immune activation, inhibit adaptive checkpoint pathways, and modulate the stroma in a single construct.<\/p>\n
