SHANGHAI, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Asieris Pharmaceuticals today released its
2026 Semi-Annual Report, showing comprehensive progress across all business segments.
With the gradual realization of commercial launch and international expansion for
its core products, the company is accelerating its transition from Biotech to Biopharma:
CEVIRA^(®), the world’s first non-invasive treatment for precancerous cervical lesions
^([1]), has been successfully launched in China, ushering in a new era of non-invasive
therapy; its Marketing Authorization Application(MAA) in Europe has been accepted
for review by the European Medicines Agency(EMA), marking the first step in internationalization.
At the same time, the company’s Commercialization 2.0 strategy is entering a harvest
period, driving steady performance growth, while the innovation pipeline is advancing
rapidly with multiple key milestones achieved.

**Steady Growth in Commercial Performance with Core Drivers Further Strengthened**

In the first half of 2026, amid a dynamic external market environment, Asieris successfully
launched CEVIRA^(®), the world’s first non-invasive treatment for precancerous cervical
lesions, and steadily advanced its Commercialization 2.0 upgrade, refining its commercial
system and improving efficiency. During the reporting period, the company recorded
operating revenue of RMB 155 million, up 19.28% year over year. Its breast cancer
products Ouyoubi^(®) and Ounalin^(®), together with kidney cancer product Dipaite
^(®), continued to drive growth through academic engagement and channel expansion,
solidifying its commercialization capabilities and laying a foundation for the sales
of its core product CEVIRA^(®).

The company’s core product CEVIRA^(®) received regulatory approval in China in March
2026, becoming the world’s first non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for precancerous
cervical lesions and filling a critical clinical gap in this therapeutic area. In
just three months, in June 2026, the product achieved its first shipment, with the
world’s first prescription issued in Beijing on the same day—fully demonstrating
cross-functional collaboration efficiency and commercial supply capabilities. Within
10 days of the initial launch, first prescriptions were rapidly rolled out across
70 hospitals in 30 cities nationwide, with an exclusive online launch on JD Health.
To date, the product has been adopted in over 150 hospitals across the country.

Asieris will continue to accelerate the sales ramp-up of CEVIRA^(®). The company
has established a comprehensive omnichannel commercial presence centered on public
hospitals, having successfully built a specialized promotion team of more than 100
professionals focused on physician education and clinical evidence dissemination
for photodynamic therapy in cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions(
HSIL), spanning medical affairs, marketing, and sales. This is complemented by a
full commercial support structure encompassing government affairs and market access,
sales excellence operations, commercial operations, supply chain, and compliance.
Meanwhile, the company is also leveraging commercial partners to achieve full-territory
business coverage in broader markets.

At the same time, the company continues to intensify market education efforts and
drive the upgrade of therapeutic paradigms. On the academic front, it is prioritizing
post-marketing studies to strengthen clinical data, continuously publishing multidimensional
subgroup analysis results in domestic and international journals and at major congresses,
and expanding dissemination through national academic platforms. In terms of guideline
and consensus updates, two Chinese consensus documents have already been released
in the first half of 2026. Notably, in the 2026 updated photodynamic therapy consensus
issued by the Chinese Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (CSCCP), CEVIRA
® is recommended, with Level 1A evidence, for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial
neoplasia grade 2 (CIN2). During the 19th International Federation for Cervical 
Pathology and Colposcopy (IFCPC) Congress in June 2026, the company initiated an
international expert consensus meeting on the standardized application of local 
photodynamic therapy (PDT) for precancerous cervical lesions, helping to shape global
treatment guidelines.

To address accessibility and financial burden, the company has conducted and published
disease burden and pharmacoeconomic studies, and released a Fertility-Friendly Blue
Book in July 2026 to maximize market accessibility opportunities. Together with 
the China Women’s Development Foundation, it has launched the "Fertility-Friendly
Cervical Health Care" public benefit program, aimed at reducing unnecessary cervical
excision procedures through the establishment of fertility-friendly cervical clinics.
Following the successful kickoff meeting in Beijing at the end of 2025, the program
has rolled out exchange activities and extensive public education campaigns across
multiple provinces, building a fertility-friendly cervical care model while establishing
public awareness of proper diagnosis and treatment for precancerous cervical lesions.
In addition, the company continues to optimize its production and supply chain system
to ensure sustained high-quality product supply.

In urologic oncology, Hexvix^(®), China’s first approved blue-light imaging agent
for bladder cancer, has opened a new era of blue-light diagnosis and treatment for
bladder cancer in the country. The SYSTEM BLUE blue-light cystoscopy system, developed
by Asieris’ partner R.WOLF, received market approval in April 2026, providing a 
realistic foundation for the clinical value of the blue-light diagnostic and treatment
approach. The company will accelerate the market introduction of Hexvix^(®) in combination
with the blue-light cystoscopy system to benefit patients as soon as possible. Meanwhile,
to fully advance the integrated full-cycle diagnosis and treatment process for bladder
cancer, the company has developed the world’s first portable single-use blue-light
flexible cystoscope for diagnostic and surveillance applications in bladder cancer
^([2]). This product has received EU CE certification and will be further accelerated
for market approval in China.

**R&D Focused on Core Therapeutic Areas, Accelerating Advancement of High-Potential
Programs**

Guided by its strategic priorities, Asieris has continued to deepen its focus in
core therapeutic areas, optimize resource allocation, and concentrate efforts on
high-potential pipeline programs by leveraging its targeted and AI-driven drug discovery
platform, drug-device combination platform, and innovative ADC technologies. During
the reporting period, multiple pipeline programs achieved positive progress, demonstrating
innovative advantages and competitive potential and fully reflecting the company’s
R&D strength and clinical development capabilities in its areas of focus.

In women’s health, the core product CEVIRA^(®) has made positive progress in international
market development, with its MAA successfully accepted for review by the EMA. The
company is actively establishing commercial partnerships in Europe, emerging markets,
and Belt and Road countries and regions.

In urologic oncology, the Phase I clinical trial of APL-2401 (FGFR2/3 inhibitor)
completed enrollment of the first patient in January 2026, with dose escalation 
proceeding smoothly and efficiently, and preliminary safety characteristics and 
efficacy signals observed. APLD-2304 (the world’s first portable single-use blue-
light flexible cystoscope) passed review by the EU Notified Body and obtained EU
CE certification in August 2026. The company is currently preparing for commercial
production and actively exploring overseas commercialization partnership opportunities.

In breast cancer and gynecologic oncology, APL-2501 (CLDN6/9-ADC) submitted IND 
applications in both China and the U.S. in June and July 2026, respectively, and
received FDA and NMPA approval to initiate clinical trials in August, with plans
to start a Phase I monotherapy dose-escalation study by year-end enrolling patients
with advanced solid tumors including ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.
APL-2302 (USP1 inhibitor) is currently in an ongoing Phase I/IIa clinical trial 
for the treatment of advanced solid tumors.

In other disease areas, based on positive results from the first stage of the clinical
study of APL-1401 for moderate-to-severe active ulcerative colitis (UC), the company
has further initiated an extension study to evaluate the potential of this First-
in-class therapy in a broader UC patient population over a 12-week treatment period.
The clinical study is progressing smoothly, with data readout expected by the end
of 2026. Given that APL-1202 has shown initial efficacy for the treatment of free-
living amoebae (FLA) infections, the company has signed an investigational drug 
supply agreement with the U.S. CDC under its Expanded Access Program and obtained
authorization under Health Canada’s Special Access Program to ensure access for 
FLA patients.

Dr. Kevin Pan, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Asieris Pharmaceuticals, said: "In the
first half of 2026, Asieris achieved multiple milestones in both commercialization
and innovation pipelines. We delivered sustained sales growth and significant pipeline
progress. Most excitingly, our core product CEVIRA^(®)—the world’s first non-invasive
treatment for precancerous cervical lesions—was successfully launched in China with
a strong commercial start, marking the company’s official entry into a phase of 
accelerated delivery of innovation outcomes and further solidifying the foundation
for our transition from Biotech to Biopharma. Looking ahead, we are confident in
continuing to achieve breakthroughs through steady growth, bringing more benefits
to patients and creating greater value for shareholders and society."
