 ◦ _Oral presentation of DZD6008 demonstrated strong and durable anti-tumor activity,
   excellent BBB-penetrant properties, and a favorable safety profile in patients
   relapsed from third-generation EGFR TKI_
 ◦ _In treatment-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC without driver mutations, Golidocitinib,
   a JAK-only inhibitor, in combination with anti-PD-1 antibody enhanced anti-tumor
   response. _

SHANGHAI, May 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dizal (SSE:688192), a biopharmaceutical company
committed to developing novel medicines for the treatment of oncology and hematological
diseases, today announced the presentations of two studies in non-small cell lung
cancer (NSCLC) at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
One study evaluated DZD6008, an investigational fourth-generation EGFR TKI, in pre-
treated NSCLC patients with EGFR C797X mutations following progression on third-
generation EGFR TKI treatment. The results were featured in an oral presentation.
The other study reported results for golidocitinib, a JAK1-selective inhibitor, 
combined with an anti-PD-1 antibody as a first-line treatment for PD-L1-positive,
advanced NSCLC without driver mutations.

**DZD6008:** **A Fourth-Generation EGFR TKI Overcomes Resistance Following Third-
Generation EGFR TKI Failure**

The latest findings showed that DZD6008 demonstrated strong and durable anti-tumor
activity in patients relapsed from third-generation EGFR TKI with a favorable safety
profile.

 ◦ The majority of patients (82.1%) had tumor shrinkage following DZD6008 treatment.
   Higher response rate is expected with longer treatment.
 ◦ Tumor response is durable, with 6 months progression free survival (PFS) rates
   at 70.6% and 61.8%, respectively for 40 mg and 60 mg cohorts. The median duration
   of response (DoR) was not reached.
 ◦ Excellent blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration was observed, including strong
   intracranial anti-tumor activity among patients with baseline brain metastasis.
 ◦ DZD6008 demonstrated a favorable safety profile with high selectivity for wild-
   type EGFR, resulting in minimal adverse effects.

Patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC whose disease progresses on or after third-generation
EGFR TKI treatment often acquire resistance mutations, among which EGFR C797X is
one of the most frequently reported. DZD6008 is a fourth-generation EGFR TKI designed
with full BBB penetration and high selectivity over wild-type EGFR. Preclinical 
and clinical data support its potent activities against single, double and triple
EGFR mutations (L858R/19del, T790M, C797X).

**Golidocitinib: A JAK1 Inhibitor Combined with Anti-PD-1 Demonstrates Durable Clinical
Benefit**

Among 47 enrolled treatment-naïve patients with advanced NSCLC, golidocitinib plus
sintilimab following chemo-immunotherapy demonstrated encouraging and durable anti-
tumor efficacy, particularly in those with high PD-L1 expression. Profound improvement
of irAE was noticed.

Dr. Xiaolin Zhang, CEO of Dizal, said: "Main reasons for patients relapsed from 
3^(rd) generation EGFR TKI treatment include acquired resistance mutations and CNS
metastasis. DZD6008 was designed to address these clinical issues. The data presented
confirmed that DZD6008 met our design criteria and has the potential to provide 
an oral safe treatment option for these patients. We are very excited by the clinical
data. We look forward to collaborating with investigators worldwide to accelerate
its clinical development globally."

**About Golidocitinib (DZD4205)**

Golidocitinib is currently the first and only Janus kinase 1 (JAK1) inhibitor being
evaluated for the treatment of r/r PTCL. In June 2024, golidocitinib was approved
by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for the treatment
of adult patients with relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL).

At the data cut-off date of August 31, 2023, golidocitinib has demonstrated robust
and durable anti-tumor efficacy, with an ORR of 44.3%. All subtypes benefited well,
and the ORR of common subtypes exceeded 40%. More than 50% of the patients with 
tumor remission achieved a complete response with a CRR of 23.9%. Per IRC assessment,
the median duration of response (mDoR) reached 20.7 months. As of February 2024,
golidocitinib showed a median overall survival (mOS) of 24.3 months.

Golidocitinib was granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. FDA for the treatment
of r/r PTCL in February 2022. In September 2023, the CDE accepted its NDA and granted
Priority Review for the treatment of r/r PTCL. The Phase I clinical data of golidocitinib(
JACKPOT8 PART A) were published in Annals of Oncology (Impact Factor: 51.8), and
global pivotal trial data of golidocitinib for the treatment of r/r PTCL (JACKPOT
PART B) were published in The Lancet Oncology (Impact Factor: 54.4).

**About DZD6008**

DZD6008 is a novel, highly selective, full-BBB penetrant EGFR TKI, designed as a
potential treatment option for advanced EGFR mutation positive (EGFRm) NSCLC.

Non-small cell lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Epidermal
growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene is one of the most common driver genes for NSCLC.
Multiple agents can be used to treat patients with EGFR mutated NSCLC who develop
resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), but the clinical outcome was
not satisfactory. Brain metastases (BM) are a leading cause of death and disease
progression for NSCLC. Approximately 23%-30% of NSCLC patients are synchronous BM
at their initial diagnosis. Previous studies reported that the 3-year cumulative
rate of BMs ranges from 29.4% to 60.3% in patients with mutated EGFR.

Currently, the clinical benefits of existing treatments for third-generation EGFR
TKI-resistant NSCLC are limited and DZD6008 is expected to fill the unmet medical
needs. DZD6008 effectively inhibits EGFR-mutated tumor growth in cell lines and 
in animal models. Previous clinical studies have validated the design concept of
the molecule and suggest that DZD6008 demonstrates good safety and efficacy in NSCLC
patients with brain metastases who had failed third-generation EGFR TKI therapy 
or multiple lines of pre-treatments.
