SHANGHAI, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mabwell (688062.SH, 02493.HK), an innovation-
driven biopharmaceutical company with a fully integrated industry chain, will present
multiple clinical study results of its novel Nectin-4-targeting ADC 9MW2821 (Bulumtatug
Fuvedotin, BFv) at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual 
Meeting, including the Phase Ib/II clinical study data of 9MW2821 in combination
with toripalimab for locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (la/mUC)
in the form of oral presentation, and the Phase II clinical study data of 9MW2821
in combination with toripalimab for perioperative muscle-invasive bladder cancer(
MIBC) in the form of poster presentation.

The Phase Ib/II clinical study of 9MW2821 in combination with toripalimab for the
treatment of patients with la/mUC enrolled a total of 52 patients with advanced 
urothelial carcinoma. Follow-up results showed that as of December 1, 2025, 47 subjects
were included in the efficacy analysis. The overall objective response rate (ORR)
was 83.0%, confirmed ORR was 74.5%, complete response (CR) rate was 12.8%, and disease
control rate (DCR) was 89.4%; and for the previously untreated populations, ORR 
was 87.5%, confirmed ORR was 80.0%, CR rate was 12.5% and DCR was 92.5%. The median
progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.9 months, median duration of response (DoR)
and median overall survival (OS) was not yet reached. No new safety signals related
to 9MW2821 or toripalimab were observed in this study.

The Phase II clinical study on 9MW2821 in combination with toripalimab for patients
with perioperative MIBC enrolled a total of 32 subjects. As of January 4, 2026, 
7 subjects completed neoadjuvant therapy (9MW2821 in combination with toripalimab).
Among these subjects, 6 subjects completed radical cystectomy and regional lymph
node dissection, and 1 subject refused radical surgery due to achieving clinical
CR following neoadjuvant therapy. Pathological complete response (pCR) was 66.7%(
4/6), and pathological downstaging (pDS) rate was 83.3% (5/6). No new safety signals
related to 9MW2821 or toripalimab were observed in this study.
