- Risvutatug rezetecan showed anti-tumor activity with a generally manageable safety profile in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who had progressed after prior novel hormonal agents.
SHANGHAI, February 28, 2026 — Hansoh Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (“Hansoh Pharma,” 03692.HK) today announced the presentation of Phase 2 study data of risvutatug rezetecan (HS-20093 / GSK5764227) at the 2026 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (ASCO GU 2026), held February 26–28, 2026, in San Francisco, California.
Risvutatug rezetecan is a B7-H3-targeted antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) under clinical development for multiple solid tumors. At ASCO GU 2026, data were presented from ARTEMIS-003 (NCT06001255), an open-label, multicenter Phase 2 study evaluating risvutatug rezetecan in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who had progressed after at least one prior line of systemic therapy.
In the study, risvutatug rezetecan was administered at 8.0 mg/kg every three weeks until disease progression or other treatment discontinuation criteria were met. The study was designed to evaluate efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity, with the primary endpoint being objective response rate assessed per combined RECIST v1.1 and PCWG3 criteria.
● Encouraging anti-tumor activity:Risvutatug Rezetecan demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity in both taxane-pretreated and taxane-naïve patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
ᅳ In taxane-pretreated patients, the cORR was 38.9%, with a cPSA50 response rate of 40.7%.
ᅳ Among taxane-naïve patients, the uORR was 41.7% and uPSA50 rate 23.8%; enrollment in this cohort remains ongoing as of the data cutoff date, with updated results pending.
● Manageable safety profile: The safety profile is in line with previous reports in other solid tumors. Most common grade ≥3 TRAEs (incidence ≥20%) were neutrophil count decreased and anemia.
The details are as follows:

About Risvutatug Rezetecan
Risvutatug rezetecan (HS-20093) is a B7-H3–targeted antibody–drug conjugate (ADC) discovered and developed by Hansoh Pharma. It comprises a fully human anti-B7-H3 monoclonal antibody conjugated to a topoisomerase inhibitor (TOPi) payload and is being evaluated for the treatment of multiple solid tumors.
The programme has entered Phase 3 clinical development in China for osteosarcoma and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and is also being evaluated in multiple proof-of-concept studies across additional indications, including non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer, prostate cancer, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and colorectal cancer.
In December 2023, Hansoh Pharma granted GSK an exclusive worldwide license, excluding Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, to develop, manufacture and commercialize risvutatug rezetecan. The programme is being advanced globally by GSK, with Phase 1 and Phase 3 clinical studies ongoing outside China.
Risvutatug rezetecan has received multiple regulatory designations from the NMPA, EMA and FDA, including Breakthrough Therapy and Orphan Drug designations in select solid tumor indications.
About metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
Prostate cancer is one of the most common male genitourinary system tumors, with about 134.200 new cases in 2022 in China [1]. In China, about 30% of prostate cancer patients are in metastasis stage at initial diagnosis and almost all patients will progress to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) ultimately [2]. Patients with mCRPC who progress after first-line therapy have limited effective later-line options and poor outcomes [3], with contemporary data showing median overall survival of about 18-25 months [4-6]. Therefore, there remains high unmet needs for mCRPC patients who progressed after one line of prior therapy and new therapeutics are urgently needed.
