[Taipei, Shanghai, San Francisco | October 12, 2026] <\/strong>\u2013 HanchorBio, Inc. (TWSE: 7827), a global clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation immunotherapies, today announced its participation in BioJapan 2026 in Yokohama, Japan. The Company has scheduled more than 15 partnering meetings with regional and global pharmaceutical leaders to explore co-development and strategic collaboration opportunities across its proprietary Fc-based Designer Biologics (FBDB\u2122) platform.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Japan remains a primary focus of HanchorBio\u2019s international business development strategy. Following discussions initiated at BIO Asia\u2013Taiwan earlier this year, several Japanese pharmaceutical companies have advanced HanchorBio\u2019s assets into deeper evaluation stages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cBioJapan provides a key forum to accelerate our momentum in Asia’s largest pharmaceutical market,\u201d said Scott Liu, Ph.D., Chairman and CEO at HanchorBio. \u201cAs our programs mature, we are seeing increased global interest in both our clinical assets and our underlying FBDB\u2122 platform to address high unmet needs in oncology and autoimmune diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key Pipeline Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n

HCB206: <\/strong>A novel bispecific fusion protein targeting CD20 and SIRP\u03b1, extending HanchorBio\u2019s macrophage-directed strategy into B-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases to achieve deeper, more durable B-cell depletion. The asset is currently in the preclinical, IND-enabling stage.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

HCB101<\/strong>: <\/strong>HanchorBio\u2019s lead clinical-stage SIRP\u03b1-based innate immune checkpoint inhibitor, serving as the cornerstone of its oncology strategy.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

HCB303<\/strong>:<\/strong> A first-in-class trispecific fusion protein biologic targeting SIRP\u03b1\/CD47, PD-L1\/PD-1, and TIGIT\/PVR pathways. Designed to engage macrophages, T cells, and NK cells simultaneously, HCB303 recently received U.S. FDA Investigational New Drug (IND) clearance to begin Phase 1 trials. It is HanchorBio\u2019s second trispecific fusion protein biologic to enter human clinical development.<\/p>\n
