ZIIHERA Plus TEVIMBRA and Chemotherapy: A Potential New Standard for First-Line HER2+ Advanced GEA

ZIIHERA Plus TEVIMBRA and Chemotherapy: A Potential New Standard for First-Line HER2+ Advanced GEA




ZIIHERA Plus TEVIMBRA and Chemotherapy: A Potential New Standard for First-Line HER2+ Advanced GEA

Combination therapy showed compelling survival and disease control compared to current standard, regardless of PD-L1 status

High GEA burden in Asia, where BeOne holds ZIIHERA rights, signals potential broad patient impact

Results to be presented as a Late-Breaking Abstract Oral Presentation at ASCO GI on January 8, 2026

SAN CARLOS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ONC #BeOneBeOne Medicines Ltd. (Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced full results from the Phase 3 HERIZON-GEA-01 trial evaluating ZIIHERA® (zanidatamab), a HER2-targeted bispecific antibody, in combination with chemotherapy, with and without PD-1 inhibitor TEVIMBRA® (tislelizumab), as a first-line treatment for HER2-positive (HER2+) locally advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). These data, including the first interim overall survival (OS) analysis, will be presented as a Late-Breaking Abstract Oral Presentation (#LBA285) at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI) on January 8, 2026, from 8:57- 9:07 a.m. PST.


HERIZON-GEA-01 met the dual primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS), demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in both experimental arms compared to the control arm. The addition of TEVIMBRA to ZIIHERA and chemotherapy also showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS) (mOS: 26.4 months, HR=0.72 [95% CI: 0.57, 0.90]; P=0.0043), resulting in a 28% reduction in the risk of death and a greater than 7-month improvement in mOS. These PFS and OS benefits were observed in the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm versus the control arm regardless of PD-L1 expression level, with approximately one-third of enrolled patients with tumors classified as PD-L1 < 1%. ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy showed a clinically meaningful survival benefit with a mOS of 24.4 months, a strong trend toward statistical significance at the time of this first interim analysis for OS.

“The HERIZON-GEA-01 results are encouraging, with median overall survival for tislelizumab plus zanidatamab and chemotherapy surpassing two years, an outcome that marks a significant advancement in the treatment of metastatic HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma,” said Manish Shah, M.D., Chief of the Solid Tumor Service and Director of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine and a medical oncologist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, who serves as a paid advisory board member for Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and BeOne Medicines Ltd. “Unlike prior studies in HER2+ GEA with checkpoint blockade therapy, the addition of tislelizumab demonstrated meaningful activity even in TAP PD-L1 < 1%, suggesting a potential new treatment option for this subgroup, while broadening choices for patients with PD-L1 ≥1%.”

Further highlights from the HERIZON-GEA-01 results include:

  • TEVIMBRA added to ZIIHERA and chemotherapy (n=302; mPFS: 12.4 months, HR=0.63 [95% CI: 0.51, 0.78], P=<0.0001) resulted in a 37% reduction in the risk of disease progression and a greater than 4-month improvement in mPFS.
  • Patients receiving ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy (n=304; mPFS: 12.4 months, HR=0.65 [95% CI: 0.52, 0.81], P=<0.0001) showed a 35% reduction in the risk of disease progression and a similar greater than 4-month improvement in mPFS.
  • These results compare favorably to mPFS of 8.1 months in patients treated with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy.
  • In the PD-L1 negative subgroup (TAP score <1%), the HR results for PFS were 0.47 [95% CI: 0.32, 0.69] in the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm and the HR results for OS were 0.49 [95% CI: 0.33, 0.73].
  • In the PD-L1 positive subgroup (TAP score >1%), the HR results for PFS were 0.65 [95% CI: 0.49, 0.86] in the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm and the HR results for OS were 0.82 [95% CI: 0.60, 1.10].
  • Both experimental arms demonstrated improvements in the key secondary endpoints of objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) versus the control arm, with ZIIHERA and chemotherapy resulting in an ORR of 69.6% with a median DOR of 14.32 months (CI 95%: 11.53, 21.85). The ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm induced an ORR of 70.7%, with the median DOR reaching 20.70 months (CI 95%: 12.55, 37.65), highlighting TEVIMBRA’s essential role in the durability of response observed with the regimen.

“The comprehensive results of the HERIZON-GEA-01 study, particularly the improvement in overall survival shown in the TEVIMBRA plus ZIIHERA and chemotherapy arm, pave the way for the adoption of a new standard in first-line HER2-positive metastatic GEA,” said Mark Lanasa, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, Solid Tumors at BeOne. “BeOne holds commercial rights for ZIIHERA in most of Asia Pacific, where the GEA burden is highest. With these data, we anticipate the opportunity to expand access so more patients can benefit.”

The safety profile of ZIIHERA in combination with chemotherapy, with or without TEVIMBRA, was consistent with the known effects of HER2-directed therapy and immunotherapy, and no new safety signals were identified. Duration of treatment was longest on the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm. Rates of Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were 71.8% with ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy, 59.0% with ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, and 59.6% with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. Rates of discontinuation of ZIIHERA or trastuzumab due to TRAEs were 11.9% with ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy, 8.5% with ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, and 2.3% in the trastuzumab plus chemotherapy arm. The most common Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) was diarrhea (24.5% of patients with ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy; 20.0% with ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy; and 12.9% of patients in the trastuzumab plus chemotherapy arm). Importantly, discontinuation of either ZIIHERA or trastuzumab due to treatment-related diarrhea was uncommon (4.1% of patients with ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy, 1.3% with ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, and 0% of patients in the trastuzumab plus chemotherapy arm). Treatment-emergent diarrhea generally occurred early in treatment and resolved within 3 weeks. The manageable safety profile supports the feasibility of these combinations in the first-line metastatic setting.

These results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. BeOne intends to submit supplemental Biologics License Applications to the U.S. FDA for TEVIMBRA and to the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for TEVIMBRA and ZIIHERA, based on these data. The company also intends to work with authorities in its licensed territories to expedite regulatory submissions in these markets.

About the HERIZON-GEA-01 Phase 3 Trial

HERIZON-GEA-01 (NCT05152147) is a global, randomized, open-label Phase 3 trial, conducted jointly with Jazz Pharmaceuticals, to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, with or without TEVIMBRA, to the standard of care (trastuzumab plus chemotherapy) as first-line treatment for adult patients with advanced/metastatic HER2+ GEA. The trial randomized 914 patients from approximately 300 trial sites in more than 30 countries. Appropriate patients for this trial had unresectable locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic HER2+ GEA (adenocarcinomas of the stomach or esophagus, including the gastroesophageal junction), defined as 3+ HER2 expression by IHC or 2+ HER2 expression by IHC with ISH positivity per central assessment. Patients were randomized to the three trial arms: ZIIHERA in combination with chemotherapy and TEVIMBRA; ZIIHERA in combination with chemotherapy; and trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. The trial is evaluating dual primary endpoints, PFS per blinded independent central review (BICR) and OS.

About Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

Gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA), which includes cancers of the stomach, gastroesophageal junction, and esophagus, is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Approximately 20% of GEA patients have HER2-positive disease1,2,3, which has high morbidity and mortality, and patients are urgently in need of new treatment options. The overall prognosis for patients with GEA remains poor, with a global five-year survival rate of less than 30% for gastric cancer and about 19% for GEA.4

About ZIIHERA (zanidatamab)

ZIIHERA (zanidatamab) is a bispecific human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, or HER2-directed antibody that binds to two extracellular sites on HER2. Binding of zanidatamab with HER2 results in internalization leading to a reduction in HER2 expression of the receptor on the tumor cell surface. Zanidatamab induces complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). These mechanisms result in tumor growth inhibition and cell death in vitro and in vivo.5

Zanidatamab is being developed in multiple clinical trials as a targeted treatment option for patients with solid tumors that express HER2. Zanidatamab is approved in China for the treatment of patients who have unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic HER2-high expression (IHC 3+) biliary tract cancer (BTC) and who have received prior systemic therapy. ZIIHERA also has been approved in both the U.S. and the European Union for eligible BTC patients. Zanidatamab is being developed by Jazz and BeOne under license agreements from Zymeworks, which first developed the molecule. BeOne has licensed zanidatamab from Zymeworks in Asia (excluding India and Japan), Australia and New Zealand. Jazz Pharmaceuticals has rights in all other regions.

ZIIHERA is a registered trademark of Zymeworks BC Inc.

About TEVIMBRA (tislelizumab)

TEVIMBRA is a uniquely designed humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody with high affinity and binding specificity against PD-1. It is designed to minimize binding to Fc-gamma (Fcγ) receptors on macrophages, helping to aid the body’s immune cells to detect and fight tumors.

TEVIMBRA is the foundational asset of BeOne’s solid tumor portfolio and has shown potential across multiple tumor types and disease settings. The global TEVIMBRA clinical development program includes almost 14,000 patients enrolled to date in 35 countries and regions across 70 trials, including 22 registration-enabling studies. TEVIMBRA is approved in at least one indication in 48 markets, and more than 1.8 million patients have been treated globally.

Select Important Safety Information

Serious and sometimes fatal adverse reactions occurred with TEVIMBRA treatment. Warnings and precautions include severe and fatal immune-mediated adverse reactions, including pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, endocrinopathies, dermatologic adverse reactions, nephritis with renal dysfunction, and solid organ transplant rejection. Other warnings and precautions include infusion-related reactions, complications of allogeneic HSCT, and embryo-fetal toxicity.

Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Control Charts for Laboratory Compliance Course (ONLINE EVENT: Jan 27, 2026) – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Control Charts for Laboratory Compliance (Jan 27, 2026)” training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.


Compliance under GLP can be difficult. The setting up of a system to monitor the performance of methods and instruments can lessen this. Statistical Process Control (SPC) uses control charts and statistical guidelines to monitor a wide variety of things in the compliant laboratory. These generate a proactive system to assess problems early on and quickly to be handled by adjustments rather than the strict situation of a non-compliance event.

Control charts are based on the distribution of data expected in a laboratory, the Gaussian distribution of occurrences. There are well-defined probabilities for the data. Guidelines for good or unacceptable behavior are well known. The most common of these are Nelson Rules, in use for over a century. With a wide selection of variables to monitor, assessing performance can be simple.

Who Should Attend:

  • Lab Chemists
  • Lab Managers
  • Lab Technicians
  • Lab Analysts
  • Industries into Compliance Methodology (Biotech, Pharma)
  • Quality Personnel
  • Manufacturing Personnel
  • Operations/Production Managers
  • Production Supervisors
  • Supplier Quality personnel
  • Quality Engineering
  • Quality Assurance Managers, Engineers
  • Process or Manufacturing Engineers or Managers

Key Topics Covered:

  • Control charts and their underlying statistics
  • Choosing variables to monitor
  • Maintaining the records
  • Planning adjustments
  • Examples and walk through of control chart implementation and use
  • Review of the relevant statistics

Clinical Neurology Specialists Partnering with Leading International Nonprofit to Accelerate Alzheimer’s Research in Las Vegas

Collaboration to Improve Access to Study for Alzheimer’s Disease

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation® (GAP) and Clinical Neurology Specialists (CNS) announced their collaboration to accelerate Alzheimer’s disease research in Las Vegas. CNS has joined the GAP-sponsored study, Bio-Hermes-002, a unique, observational platform study that compares blood-based and digital biomarkers to generate data that may help predict, detect and diagnose Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. This is a transformative, international study, but CNS is the only Las Vegas research site participating.

We’re enthusiastic about our collaboration with CNS, whose commitment to delivering first-in-class care aligns with our goal of expanding Alzheimer’s research opportunities in Las Vegas,” said John Dwyer, president of the Global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation. “With Dr. Germin’s leadership at CNS, GAP will expand opportunities and help to make Alzheimer’s research more accessible to people in the entire Las Vegas-area community.”

CNS is led by Dr. Leo Germin, an expert neurologist, known for offering compassionate care that reflects best practices. Dr. Germin and CNS are well-suited to introduce Bio-Hermes-002 in Las Vegas as the nationwide demand for more inclusive and real-world brain health research continues to rise.

“With nearly 55,000 Nevadans living with Alzheimer’s today, the need for accelerating research is clear. In collaborating with the Global Alzheimer’s Platform Foundation, CNS will have a direct pathway for patients who could benefit from opportunities with clinical trials,” said Leo Germin MD, founder and medical director of Clinical Neurology Specialists. “We are excited for this new partnership and look forward to helping improve the future of brain health.”

As a part of the collaboration, GAP Clinical Research Program Manager Sarah Freeland will oversee the Bio-Hermes-002 study locally. Serving as the key on-site leader, Freeland brings a wealth of experience having led trials across multiple therapeutic areas.

This collaboration comes less than one year after GAP and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), announced a memorandum of understanding to bring next generation research to Las Vegas driven by a shared commitment to design and conduct fast and effective neurodegenerative clinical trial. Establishing the partnership with CNS marks GAP’s initial step toward building its presence in the Las Vegas community, laying the groundwork for future collaborations, like those anticipated with UNLV.

The forward-looking statements, objectives and targets contained herein are based on Ipsen’s management strategy, current views and assumptions. Such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those anticipated herein. All of the above risks could affect Ipsen’s future ability to achieve its financial targets, which were set assuming reasonable macroeconomic conditions based on the information available today. Use of the words ‘believes’, ‘anticipates’ and ‘expects’ and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, including Ipsen’s expectations regarding future events, including regulatory filings and determinations.

Ipsen cannot be certain that its partners will fulfil their obligations. It might be unable to obtain any benefit from those agreements. A default by any of Ipsen’s partners could generate lower revenues than expected. Such situations could have a negative impact on Ipsen’s business, financial position or performance. Ipsen expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements, targets or estimates contained in this press release to reflect any change in events, conditions, assumptions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, unless so required by applicable law.
