SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China, May 19, 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,
announces that it will present multiple clinical and preclinical data from IBI3002(
IL-4Rα/TSLP), IBI3038(IGF-1R/IL-6), IBI3031(IGF-1R/TSHR) at the 2026 American Thoracic
Society (ATS) International Conference, held in Orlando, Florida (US) from May 17–
20 and the 2026 Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) Annual
Meeting, held in Denver, Colorado (US) from May 3-7.

**Title：** **IBI3002, A First-in-class Anti-IL-4R**α**/TSLP Bispecific Antibody
in Patients with Mild-To-Moderate Asthma: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled,
Single Dose Phase Ib StudyAbstract Number：8579
Presentation Form: PosterAuthor：
Dr. Yuanfang Ren, Innovent Biologics

IBI3002 is a first-in-class bispecific antibody that simultaneously targets IL-4Rα
and its upstream inflammatory cytokine―thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), a key
cytokine involved in initiating and perpetuating the inflammatory response in the
airways. In preclinical studies, IBI3002 demonstrated a significantly greater reduction
in airway inflammation and immune cell infiltration compared with an anti-IL-4Rα
antibody dupilumab and an anti-TSLP antibody tezepelumab. This Phase 1b clinical
trial (NCT06213844) was initiated and has been completed in Australia. In the single-
dose study, IBI3002 exhibited favorable safety and tolerability among participants
with mild-to-moderate asthma, alongside improvements in multiple pharmacodynamic
and pulmonary function endpoints. Compared with placebo, the IBI3002 group achieved
greater improvements in pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in one second(
pre-BD FEV1) (Day 36: -0.15L vs. +0.18L) and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO)(-
15ppb vs. -38ppb). Meanwhile, substantial reductions were also seen in key type 
2 inflammatory biomarkers: peripheral blood eosinophils (-12.5% vs. -46.53%), immunoglobulin
E (IgE) levels (+8% vs. -13%), and thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC)(-
6% vs. -29%). These findings suggest that, under the backdrop of publicly available
data on agents sharing similar mechanisms, IBI3002, with its unique IL‑4Rα/TSLP 
dual‑blockade mechanism, exhibits promising potential for more competitive therapeutic
efficacy.

**Title：Preclinical Characterization of IBI3038, An Anti-IGF-1R And Anti-IL-6 Bispecific
Antibody That Potently Inhibits Lung Fibrosis DevelopmentAbstract Number：14557

Presentation Form: PosterAuthor：Dr. Yao Xiong, Innovent Biologics

IBI3038 is a first-in-class IGF-1R x IL-6 bispecific antibody currently at the Investigational
New Drug (IND) enabling stage. With a unique design to simultaneously block both
fibrotic and inflammatory pathways, it aims at addressing large and urgent unmet
needs in fibrosis-related autoimmune diseases，including scleroderma related interstitial
lung disease (SS-ILD). In preclinical studies，IBI3038 potently and synergistically
inhibited IGF-1 and cis- as well as trans- IL-6 signaling superior to Teprotumumab.
It robustly suppressed HA production by and proliferation of human lung and dermal
fibroblasts. Besides, IBI3038 significantly inhibited collapse of alveoli (atelectasis)
and collagen deposits on human iPSC induced lung organoids, better than IL-6 mAb.
Lastly, in a mouse model, dual blockade of IL-6 and IGF-1R significantly suppressed
lung fibrosis development and skin thickening, while no such effect was observed
with either IGF-1R or IL-6 mAb treatment. To summarize, IBI3038 will provide new
treatment options to SS-ILD patients by synergistically blocking the keys factors
in both fibrotic and inflammatory pathways.

**Title: IBI3031 an anti-IGF-1R/TSHR bispecific antibody shows potential therapeutic
benefit in preclinical studyAbstract Number: 1154 – 0884
Presentation Form: PosterAuthor:
Dr. Yiming Li, Innovent Biologics

IBI3031 is a pioneering bispecific antibody designed to target both the Insulin-
like Growth Factor-1 Receptor (IGF-1R) and the Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone Receptor(
TSHR). By leveraging dual-target synergy and advanced antibody engineering, IBI3031
aims to surpass current Standard of Care (SoC) efficacy while optimizing delivery
routes for future clinical use. By neutralizing both IGF-1R and TSHR simultaneously,
IBI3031 significantly inhibited the proliferation, hyaluronic acid secretion, and
myofibroblast differentiation of orbital fibroblasts derived from patients with 
Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) and attenuates the hyperactivation of thyroid cells. In
murine TED models, the molecule effectively suppressed the expansion of orbital 
adipose and muscular tissues. In Pharmacokinetics & Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) Studies
in Non-Human Primates (NHPs), IBI3031 demonstrated a superior PK profile compared
to existing SoCs. These results suggest a potential for extended dosing intervals,
which will markedly reduce the treatment burden for patients. With its dual-pathway
inhibition and optimized molecular profile, IBI3031 stands as a promising candidate
for the next generation of TED therapies, offering the possibility of enhanced clinical
outcomes and more convenient administration protocols

**Dr. Lei Qian, Chief R&D Officer (General Biomedicine) of Innovent Biologics,**
stated："At the 2026 ATS and ARVO Annual Meetings, we showcased our next-generation
bispecific antibodies for autoimmune and ophthalmological diseases. Our first-in-
class anti-IL-4Rα/TSLP bispecific antibody, IBI3002, simultaneously targets key 
type 2 inflammation pathways. It has the potential to deliver more comprehensive
and sustained solution for patients with highly heterogeneous asthma, thereby addressing
critical unmet needs, particularly suboptimal disease control. The phase Ib data
showed IBI3002 significantly improved lung function and other indicators with good
tolerability. We will advance its development for asthma and atopic dermatitis. 
IBI3038 and IBI3031 will also enter clinical stages in 2026. We remain committed
to addressing unmet global clinical needs by advancing mechanism-driven innovation
and pipeline development."

**Dr. Huizhong Xiong, Vice President of Innovent Academy (Preclinical R&D of General
Biomedicine) of Innovent Biologics, **stated: "The preclinical programs presented
at these conferences further validate our R&D capabilities in bispecific platforms
and mechanism innovation. Specifically, we explore paths to breaking the cross-talk
and amplification loop of fibrosis, inflammation and metabolic abnormality. These
achievements reflect the company’s in-depth exploration of key pathogenic mechanisms.
In the future, we will continue to rely on our proprietary innovation platforms 
to advance the R&D of next-generation bispecific antibodies with global competitiveness,
providing patients with more differentiated treatment options."
