ABOUT DISITAMAB VEDOTIN (RC48, Brand Name: 爱地希®)
Disitamab vedotin (RC48, Brand Name: 爱地希®) is an anti-HER2 antibody drug conjugate targeting prevalent cancers with significant unmet medical needs, and it is the first domestically developed ADC in China to have entered clinical development. We are implementing a differentiated development and commercial strategy for disitamab vedotin, targeting prevalent HER2 expressing indications that are currently underserved, including HER2 expressing and HER2 low-expressing breast cancer (BC), HER2 expressing gastric cancer (GC) and urothelial carcinoma (UC), and other HER2 expressing cancer indications. These therapeutic areas represent a less crowded and underserved field for HER2 targeted therapies, and a broad addressable patient population for disitamab vedotin.
