Zai Lab (NASDAQ: ZLAB) announced groundbreaking research published in Cell, offering new insights into HRD-positive ovarian cancer treatment. The study, supported by Zai Lab, revealed that niraparib, a PARP inhibitor, achieves high response rates and reshapes the tumor microenvironment (TME) in HRD-positive ovarian cancer patients. Key findings include:
1. Niraparib monotherapy achieved 62.5% and 73.6% response rates per RECIST v.1.1 and GCIG CA125, respectively.
2. The study identified eTregs as key responders to HRD and neoadjuvant therapies.
3. Combining niraparib with Zai Lab's investigational CCR8 antibody, ZL-1218, showed enhanced tumor suppression in pre-clinical models.
This research opens new avenues for immunotherapy and combination treatments in HRD-positive ovarian cancer and other HRD-related cancers.

This investigational therapy targets the IL-17 cytokine and is designed for mild-to-moderate CPP, unlike other treatments that address more severe cases via systemic administration. The trial will involve 250 patients over 16 weeks, with the primary endpoint being a 75% reduction in the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score at week 16.

Zai Lab and Innoviva Specialty Therapeutics have received approval from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for XACDURO® (sulbactam-durlobactam), a new treatment for hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia caused by Acinetobacter baumannii-calcoaceticus complex in adults. This approval is based on positive results from the global Phase 3 ATTACK trial, which demonstrated XACDURO's non-inferiority to colistin in reducing 28-day all-cause mortality and significantly improving clinical cure rates.

This milestone follows the FDA's approval of XACDURO in the U.S. in May 2023, marking it as the first FDA-approved pathogen-targeted therapy for this condition.
