National Anti-Cancer Week | Harnessing Innovation to Enable Long-Term, High-Quality Survival for Cancer Patients

April 15, 2026 16:40

April 15–21, 2026 marks the 32nd National Anti-Cancer Week, themed “Early Prevention, Early Screening, Early Treatment – United Hand in Hand Against Cancer.” The campaign aims to comprehensively raise public awareness of cancer prevention and control and mitigate cancer-related harm through etiological prevention, screening and treatment, social co-governance, and science popularization and education. As a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the R&D and manufacturing of innovative cancer therapies, Alphamab Oncology actively pursues its mission of “to enable long-term, high-quality survival for cancer patients”, and contributes to the advancement of cancer prevention and treatment efforts.

 

Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that approximately 20 million new cancer cases are diagnosed globally each year, with China accounting for about 23.7% of these new cases, reflecting the severe challenges in cancer prevention and treatment. Nevertheless, scientific research has indicated that around 40% of tumors can be prevented through healthy lifestyles, 30% can be clinically cured via early screening and diagnosis, and another 30% can have prolonged survival through standardized treatment.

 

Leveraging its proprietary core technology platforms, Alphamab Oncology continues to advance differentiated, innovative therapies that are more effective, safer, and more convenient. The company has built a product pipeline centered on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), bispecific antibodies, and single-domain antibodies:

 

●   Envafolimab (KN035): The world’s first subcutaneous PD-(L)1 inhibitor, already approved for marketing. Its pan-tumor coverage and 30-second subcutaneous administration represent a significant breakthrough in enhancing the convenience and accessibility of cancer treatment, substantially improving patients’ treatment experience.

 

●   Anbenitamab (KN026): It has achieved robust progression‑free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) benefits in second- or third-line HER2-positive gastric cancer. The compelling efficacy data has fully demonstrated the clinical value of "China-innovated medicine" on the global academic stage. The new drug application (NDA) for this indication is currently under review, with the potential to reshape the treatment landscape for HER2-positive gastric cancer. In addition, multiple combination therapies for new indications are being accelerated.

 

●   Bispecific ADC innovative drugs: JSKN003, JSKN016, and JSKN033 cover a wide range of high‑incidence tumor types including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, and cervical cancer. Five studies are currently in Phase III clinical trials, demonstrating excellent efficacy and safety profiles, and promising to overcome challenges of tumor heterogeneity and drug resistance, offering transformative treatment options for patients. Meanwhile, several bispecific ADCs and dual‑payload ADCs are advancing rapidly in clinical studies, continuously enriching the innovative product portfolio.

 

Throughout the R&D process, we always place patients at the core. Every innovative drug developed and every technological breakthrough achieved stems from deep insight into clinical needs and more importantly, from our persistent pursuit of “to enable long-term, high-quality survival for cancer patients.” We deeply understand that behind every cancer patient lies the hope of an entire family. Therefore, we strictly uphold quality standards, rigorously managing every step of drug development and manufacturing to ensure each drug is safe and effective, safeguarding patients' lives and health.

 

Furthermore, Alphamab Oncology actively responds to the national cancer prevention and treatment strategy, taking the initiative to participate in science popularization and public welfare assistance activities. We strive to raise the public awareness of cancer prevention and control and promote widespread knowledge of cancer prevention. We aim to help more people understand the importance of "Early Prevention, Early Screening, Early Treatment", and enable more cancer patients to access high-quality and accessible innovative treatment options.

 

Technological innovation injects new momentum into cancer treatment. On the 32nd National Anti-Cancer Week, we call on all sectors of society to pay attention to cancer prevention and treatment. Alphamab Oncology will continue to be driven by innovation, deepen research into differentiated cutting‑edge therapies, enable cancer patients to benefit from high‑quality innovative medicines, and work together to build a healthier future for China.
