SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China, June 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Innovent Biologics,
Inc. ("Innovent") (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops,
manufactures and commercializes high quality medicines for the treatment of oncology,
cardiovascular and metabolic, autoimmune, ophthalmology and other major diseases,
announced that the first patient has been dosed in the Chinese pivotal Phase 3 clinical
trial (TriadicMM-1) of its self-developed innovative anti-GPRC5D, BCMA and CD3 tri-
specific antibody IBI3003 for the second to fifth-line treatment of patients with
relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM). IBI3003 is China’s first self-
developed anti-GPRC5D/BCMA/CD3 tri-specific antibody to enter the pivotal registrational
Phase III clinical trial, aiming to bring a promising next-generation immunotherapy
option for Chinese R/R MM patients.

TriadicMM-1 (NCT07623798) is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label Phase
3 clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBI3003 versus 
investigator’s choice of regimen (pomalidomide, bortezomib and dexamethasone [PVd]
or daratumumab, pomalidomide and dexamethasone [DPd]). The primary endpoint of the
study is progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by the Independent Review Committee(
IRC).

Clinical data presented at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting
on December 7, 2025 [[Link]](https://innoventbio.com/InvestorsAndMedia/PressReleaseDetail?key=568),
demonstrated a tolerable safety profile and promising efficacy signals for IBI3003
in patients who had failed ≥2 prior lines of myeloma therapy:

 ◦ Thirty-nine patients with R/R MM who had previously received at least a PI, an
   IMiD, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody were treated with IBI3003 at dose 
   levels ranging from 0.1 μg/kg to 800 μg/kg and underwent at least one tumor assessment
   after baseline. As of the data cutoff date of November 7, 2025, the median follow-
   up duration was 3.25 months (range: 0.4–7.4), and the median treatment duration
   was 12.14 weeks (range: 1.0–33.0).
 ◦ Among patients treated at doses ≥120 μg/kg (n=24), the overall response rate (
   ORR) was 83.3%, including 4 stringent complete responses (sCR), 7 very good partial
   responses (VGPR), and 9 partial responses (PR). In this cohort, the ORR was 80%
   among 10 patients with extramedullary disease (EMD) and 77.8% among 9 patients
   previously treated with BCMA- and/or GPRC5D-directed therapies. Among patients
   who achieved complete response or better, the minimal residual disease (MRD) 
   negativity rate was 100% (n=4), as assessed by validated next-generation sequencing,
   with a threshold of 10^(-5), performed at a central laboratory.
 ◦ All cases of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) were Grade 1-2, with only 2 cases
   of Grade 1-2 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) reported.
   Most treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) related to GPRC5D targeting, including
   those affecting the oral cavity, skin, and nails, were Grade 1–2, with two patients
   experiencing Grade 3 rash.
 ◦ Relevant dose optimization data (including RP2D selection) from this Phase 1/
   2 study will be presented at future academic conferences.
 ◦ In addition, IBI3003 has received Fast Track Designation (FTD) from the U.S. 
   Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this year. This designation applies
   to the treatment of R/R MM in patients who have received four or more lines of
   previous anti-myeloma therapies, that include at least a proteasome inhibitor(
   PI), an immunomodulatory drug (IMiD), and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody. The
   Phase I/II clinical trial in the United States is currently underway.

**Professor Peng Liu from Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, the
Principal Investigator of the TriadicMM-1 Study, **stated: "We are delighted that
the first patient has been enrolled in TriadicMM-1 at our hospital. This is the 
first domestic pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of a tri-specific antibody with independent
intellectual property rights for the treatment of R/R/MM in China. Furthermore, 
IBI3003 is also the second tri-specific antibody globally to have advanced into 
pivotal Phase III clinical development in the R/R MM setting. Although multiple 
myeloma has multiple treatment options, the disease still recurs most frequently
and is incurable. With each recurrence, symptoms reappear, quality of life declines,
and both the likelihood and duration of treatment response typically decrease. Therefore,
there remains a significant and urgent unmet medical need for novel therapeutic 
agents targeting alternative mechanisms of action to better control the disease,
achieve deeper and more durable responses, and improve long-term outcomes including
maintaining health-related quality of life. We highly anticipate that the Phase 
III study TriadicMM-1 will validate the potential of IBI3003 and establish IBI3003
as a new standard of care for 2-5 line R/R MM."

**Dr. Hui Zhou, Chief R&D Officer (Oncology Pipeline) of Innovent Biologics, **stated:"
The successful completion of the first patient’s first dose in the Chinese pivotal
Phase III study TriadicMM-1 of IBI3003 is an important milestone for Innovent in
advancing its first tri-specific antibody program into the registrational stage.
IBI3003 is built on Innovent’s proprietary Sanbody^(®) platform. The promising efficacy
data and manageable safety profile observed in preclinical and clinical studies 
are expected to bring a promising next-generation immunotherapy option for patients
with multiple myeloma. Looking ahead, Innovent will deepen its dual innovation in
ADC and immunotherapy, and is committed to delivering cutting-edge therapies to 
patients worldwide."

**About Multiple Myeloma**

Multiple Myeloma is a malignant hematological malignancy originating from plasma
cells in the bone marrow, ranking as the second most common blood cancer globally.
Abnormal, clonal expansion of these malignant plasma cells crowding the bone marrow
disrupts normal hematopoiesis and secretes abnormal monoclonal immunoglobulins (
M protein). This process leads to a series of severe clinical complications, classically
characterized by bone destruction, anemia, renal impairment, and hypercalcemia.

Driven by an aging global population, the incidence of multiple myeloma is continuously
rising. Although the introduction of innovative therapies—such as proteasome inhibitors,
immunomodulatory drugs, and targeted agents—has significantly improved patient prognosis
over the past decades, multiple myeloma remains largely incurable. The vast majority
of patients who initially achieve remission will inevitably experience a relentless
cycle of relapse and drug resistance.

For patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma who have already progressed
through 1-4 lines of therapy, subsequent treatment options become severely limited.
With each successive line of therapy, the duration of remission shortens, and the
prognosis worsens drastically. Consequently, there is a critical and unmet medical
need for novel therapeutic regimens with superior efficacy, manageable safety profiles,
and distinct mechanisms of action to overcome resistance, prolong overall survival,
and preserve patient quality of life.

**About IBI3003**

IBI3003, constructed on Innovent’s proprietary Sanbody^(®) platform, is a novel 
trispecific antibody targeting G protein–coupled receptor, family C, group 5, member
D (GPRC5D), B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and CD3. This molecular design aims
to overcome single tumor antigen escape. Its antitumor activity in preclinical mouse
models is superior to that of marketed bispecific antibody benchmarks, and it exhibits
particularly potent tumor killing efficacy in in vitro cell models with low expression
of BCMA and GPRC5D.

Currently, a Phase I/II clinical trial of IBI3003 is underway in China, Australia
and U.S. (NCT06083207) to explore the safety, tolerability and efficacy of IBI3003
in subjects with R/R MM. In China, the program has advanced into pivotal registration
stage with TriadicMM‑1 (NCT07623798), a randomized, controlled, open‑label Phase
III study comparing IBI3003 to investigator’s choice of regimens (DPd or PVd). The
primary endpoint is progression‑free survival (PFS) assessed by an independent review
committee (IRC).
