The trial behind sugemalimab's approval in China and later Europe, showing a PD-L1 antibody plus chemotherapy delays progression in both main types of lung cancer.
479 patients randomised 2:1. Median progression-free survival 7.8 versus 4.9 months (hazard ratio 0.50) at the interim analysis, with benefit in squamous and non-squamous histology and across PD-L1 levels; overall survival favoured sugemalimab at the final analysis. NMPA approval December 2021; European Commission approval July 2024, the first EU approval of a Chinese-developed PD-L1 antibody.
