2019年之前，翰森制药还是一家以仿制药为主的传统制药企业，仿制药业务收入和利润增速的放缓，让其下定决心转型创新药。 然而，创新转型并非一帆风顺。2022年，翰森制药创新药数量从2019年之前的1款增加到7款，创新药收入占比也首次超过了仿制药，达到了50.6%，但也就是在这一年，翰森制药营收和净利润首次出现负增长。 直到2024年中报业绩出炉，营收65.06亿元，同比增长44.21%，净利润27.26亿元，同比增长111.47%，创新药收入占比高达77.34%。一切质疑烟消云散，翰森制药进化到了势不可挡的阶段。 创新药价值兑现 仿转创从来都不只是一句口号。 成立于1995年的翰森制药，以仿制药起家，经过二十几年的发展，上市的药物超过五十款，拥有包括奥氮平片、注射用培美曲塞二钠、注射用盐酸吉西他滨等年销售额超10亿元的首仿药品。 虽说船大难掉头，但翰森制药管理层意识到随着竞争加剧，仿制药业务高速增长的时代已经过去，创新转型是唯一的道路。 截至目前，翰森制药共有8款创新药（含合作产品）获批上市，包括阿美乐（甲磺酸阿美替尼片）、豪森昕福（甲磺酸氟马替尼片）、迈灵达（吗啉硝唑氯化钠注射液）、孚来美（聚乙二醇洛塞那肽注射液）、恒沐（艾米替诺福韦片）、昕越（伊奈利珠单抗注射液）、圣罗莱（培莫沙肽注射液）、希维奥（塞利尼索），涵盖肿瘤、自免、慢性病、抗感染等多个领域。 翰森制药已上市创新药 图片来源：华源证券 这8款成功商业化的创新药，直接撑起了翰森制药近八成的营收，是其成功“仿转创”的底气所在。 其中，阿美乐（阿美替尼）无疑是翰森制药最核心的创新产品，是中国首个原研的三代EGFR-TKI类创新药，2020年3月获批二线治疗EGFR T790M，2021年12月二线前移至一线。 作为国内首款第三代EGFR抑制剂，阿美替尼享受到了充足的先发优势，上市的第三年，即2022年销售收入就达到了24亿元，2023年虽未披露数据，但从样本医药销售数据来看，依旧保持了较快的增长速度，外界预测约为35亿元，成为带动翰森制药创新药销售收入增长的绝对主力。 然而，目前国内已有6款第三代EGFR抑制剂获批上市，还有奥赛康的Limertinib、强生的兰泽替尼已在国内申请上市，预计今年年底或者明年将会有8款第三代EGFR-TKI同台竞技。 激烈的竞争下，翰森制药选择继续开拓阿美替尼的适应症，目前包括术后辅助、一线化疗联用在内的多个适应症正处在临床III期，另有两个适应症分别于今年7月、8月NDA获受理。 除此以外，翰森制药的其他创新药也即将迎来快速放量： 豪森昕福是国内首个自主研发的新型二代Bcr-Abl TKI，是我国首个在疗效和安全性上进行“双向优化”的新型TKI，获得国家卫健委《慢性髓性白血病诊断与治疗指南》以及《恶性血液病诊疗指南》推荐； 恒沐是首个中国原研口服抗乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）药物，目前迎来上市3周年，成为翰森制药抗感染药物主力； 昕越是全球唯一获批用于AQP4抗体阳性的视神经脊髓炎谱系疾病（NMOSD）成人患者治疗的人源化抗CD19单抗，目前安进正在进行IgG4相关疾病及重症肌无力适应症的临床工作，有望提升销量天花板…… 创新药收入占比的提高，让翰森制药的销售毛利率得到提升，2024年上半年，毛利率达到91.1%，较2023年同期提高2.97个百分点。 “务实”的研发策略 翰森制药能在短短五年时间完成产品结构的彻底改变，离不开持续的研发投入。2019年-2023年，翰森制药研发投入分别为11.21亿元、12.52亿元、17.97亿元、16.93亿元、20.97亿元，2024年上半年，研发投入继续保持增长达到11.96亿元，同比增长28.7%。 翰森制药研发开支（2019年-2024H1） 除了已上市产品之外，目前翰森制药还有超过30个处于临床不同阶段的创新药项目正在开展超过50项临床，数款在研产品进入关键临床阶段。 其中，HS-20093是国产进度第一的靶向B7-H3 ADC药物，目前正在中国进行多项用于治疗小细胞肺癌、肉瘤、头颈鳞癌及其他实体瘤的II期临床研究。2024 ASCO公布的研究数据显示，HS-20093在既往充分治疗的复发或难治性骨与软组织肉瘤患者中表现出了较强的抗肿瘤活性，优于临床现有标准治疗历史数据，且安全耐受性良好。有望2027年在国内获批上市。 除了传统的抗肿瘤优势板块，翰森制药的非肿瘤产品管线也日益丰满。 HS-20094是一款GLP-1受体和GIP受体双重激动剂，在GLP-1降糖减肥药火遍全球的背景下，唯一的双靶点GLP-1替尔泊肽2024年上半年销售额达到66.56亿美元，同比增长329%。目前HS-20094降糖及减重适应症研发均处于临床II期，进度全球领先。 此外，针对银屑病的TYK2药物HS-10374、针对慢性咳嗽的P2X3药物HS-10383、针对IgA肾病的ETA/AT1双受体拮抗剂HS-10390、针对精神分裂症的HS-10380，均具备广阔的市场前景，临床研究进度在国内或全球处于领先地位。 仿制药起家的翰森制药，能在短时间内拥有强大的创新药研发管线，一方面来自自主研发，另一方面多元化的BD战略也发挥了举足轻重的作用。 自2019年以来，翰森制药就积极通过外部合作来拓宽管线，近五年累计达成超20项BD合作，其中既有已成熟的创新产品，也有早期高差异化的项目。 2024年上半年，翰森制药在BD方面的表现依旧抢眼，先后与普米斯、荃信生物、麓鹏制药就EGFR/cMet 双抗、IL-23单抗、BTK抑制剂达成总金额高达68.36亿元人民币的授权合作。 与其在仿制药上坚持做“首仿”类似，翰森制药在创新药研发策略上也以“me to”和“me better”为主，争取通过“国内首创”来抢占国内市场份额，同时凭借手上充足的现金流，四处寻找有潜力的管线进行BD合作，降低新药研发风险。 在这种“务实”的战略下，翰森制药形成了大量梯次合理的研发管线，预计未来3年公司每年将有8-10个IND申请，2-3个NDA申请，至2025年将有15款以上的创新药（含新适应症）上市，创新药收入占比也将超过80%。 借船出海 由于中美医药市场对创新药支付能力的差距短期内无法消除，在国内创新药越来越内卷的情况下，国产创新药只有走向海外，才能充分兑现价值。 在必须“出海”的前提下，如何出海成为摆在创新药企面前一个选择，主要有“造船出海”和“借船出海”（License out）两种模式。 与百济神州、君实生物在海外铺设大量团队人员推进临床、商业化不同，翰森制药尽管拥有丰厚的现金储备，但在吸取恒瑞医药出海的“教训”后，选择了更为保守的License out的方式。 作为翰森制药创新药的核心，阿美替尼早在2020年7月，就以超1亿美元价格将海外开发及商业化权益转让给了美国EQRx公司。2022年6月和12月，一线治疗EGFR突变晚期或转移性NSCLC上市申请，分别在英国（MHRA）和欧洲（EMA）获得受理。 但在2023年8月，EQRx公司被Revolution收购，EQRx原有管线被放弃，阿美替尼也随之被退货，翰森制药重新获得其海外权益。目前阿美替尼正在进行与奥希替尼的头对头III期临床试验，可见翰森制药对奥希替尼疗效的信心，未来海外权益仍有机会授权给更有商业化能力的海外药企。 如果说与EQRx的合作只是翰森制药出海的小试牛刀，那么与GSK的合作则显得更成熟。 2023年10月，以8500万美元首付款以及最多14.85亿美元的里程碑付款将HS-20089的海外权益授权给GSK；2023年12月，又以1.85亿美元首付款以及15.25亿美元里程碑付款将HS-20093的海外权益授权给GSK。以上两款产品商业化后，还将获得海外地区的全球净销售额分级支付特许权使用费。 这两笔对外授权，无论是合作对象还是合作金额都与阿美替尼授权EQRx相比进步极大。HS-20089和HS-20093是分别靶向B7-H4、B7-H3的ADC药物，与GSK的合作充分验证了翰森制药技术平台的优势，走在了国产ADC出海的第一梯队。未来在GSK全力推动下，翰森制药ADC产品将更快实现创新价值。 结语 作为一家成立近30年的药企，翰森制药的发展充分诠释了“稳健”的魅力，无论是仿制药时代的以“首仿”为主，还是创新药时代自研+BD的模式降低研发风险，都是以公司长期盈利为目的，在业绩没有较大波动的情况下，以惊人的速度实现了从传统仿制药企向创新药企的华丽转变，估值逻辑也发生了根本性的变化。 参考资料 翰森制药官网、年报 《翰森制药：国内领先创新驱动型BigPharma，出海提升价值空间》，华源医药，2024年05月31日

Phase 3 PHOENYCS GO study met the primary endpoint demonstrating clinical improvement in moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus; Clinical improvements were observed among key secondary endpoints measuring disease activity and flares.UCB and Biogen are advancing dapirolizumab pegol with the objective to address the substantial unmet medical need for people living with SLE, where there are limited treatment options.SLE is a chronic, debilitating autoimmune disease that affects multiple organ systems and disproportionately affects women. BRUSSELS and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UCB (Euronext Brussels: UCB) and Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ: BIIB) today announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 PHOENYCS GO study evaluating dapirolizumab pegol, a novel Fc-free anti-CD40L drug candidate, in people living with moderate-to-severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Dapirolizumab pegol, in addition to standard-of-care (SOC) treatment, met the primary endpoint to demonstrate greater improvement of moderate-to-severe disease activity as assessed by achievement of British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG)-based Composite Lupus Assessment (BICLA) after 48 weeks versus placebo in addition to SOC. Clinical improvements were observed among key secondary endpoints measuring disease activity and flares. The safety profile of dapirolizumab pegol was generally consistent with previous studies and with that expected in study participants with systemic lupus erythematosus receiving an immunomodulator. “These positive results with dapirolizumab pegol represent encouraging progress in the development of medicines that can improve the lives of those living with lupus, an area that remains one of high unmet medical need and where women are disproportionately affected,” said Fiona du Monceau, Head of Patient Evidence at UCB. "We have confidence in the unique mode of action of dapirolizumab pegol which targets multiple inflammatory pathways involved in the pathogenesis of SLE. As we pursue the next steps in the clinical development of this potentially differentiated treatment, we extend our appreciation to the patients, study investigators and the clinical community for their ongoing support and participation in this important research.” Based on the successful outcome of the PHOENYCS GO study, UCB and Biogen are initiating a second Phase 3 trial of dapirolizumab pegol in 2024, PHOENYCS FLY. Participants from the PHOENYCS GO study will continue to be followed in a long-term open-label study. “Our hypothesis is that impacting the CD40L pathway, a central mechanism in immune response, would translate to significant impact on SLE disease burden. These results demonstrate that dapirolizumab pegol has the promise to provide meaningful benefit in this serious, chronic, and often devastating disease,” said Diana Gallagher, MD, Head of AD, MS and Immunology Development Units at Biogen. “We are committed to delivering new treatment options for this autoimmune disease and believe the overall efficacy and safety seen in PHOENYCS GO support further development of dapirolizumab pegol in SLE.” PHOENYCS GO (n= 321) is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of dapirolizumab pegol as an add on therapy to standard of care compared to placebo with standard of care. The primary outcome measure was improvement of moderate-to-severe disease activity at Week 48 using BICLA, an established, composite primary efficacy endpoint for measurement of clinical disease activity based on patient medical history, clinical examination and laboratory tests. Detailed results from the PHOENYCS GO study will be presented at an upcoming medical congress. About Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)SLE, the systemic form of lupus, is a chronic, multifactorial autoimmune disease that can affect multiple organ systems with periods of illness or flares alternating with periods of inactivity.1 SLE can present itself in several ways including rash, arthritis, anemia, thrombocytopenia, serositis, nephritis, seizures or psychosis.2 SLE is associated with a greater risk of death from causes such as infection and cardiovascular disease. An estimated 90 percent of people living with lupus are women; most begin to see symptoms between the ages of 15-55.3,4,5 Individuals from populations of African, Hispanic, Asian and Native American descent are at a greater risk of earlier onset and more aggressive disease.6,7 Pregnancy in women with SLE is high risk, with higher maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity than the general population.8,9 About Dapirolizumab PegolDapirolizumab pegol is a novel investigational humanized Fc-free polyethylene glycol (PEG)-conjugated antigen-binding (Fab’) fragment. Dapirolizumab pegol inhibits CD40L signaling which has been shown to reduce B cell activation and autoantibody production, mitigate type 1 interferon (IFN) secretion, and attenuate T cell and antigen-presenting cell (APC) activation.10 Dapirolizumab pegol is presently in Phase 3 clinical development for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) under a collaboration between UCB and Biogen.11 About UCB UCB, Brussels, Belgium (http://www.ucb.com) is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines and solutions to transform the lives of people living with severe diseases of the immune system or of the central nervous system.
