SAN FRANCISCO and SUZHOU, China, March 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Innovent Biologics, Inc. (“Innovent”) (HKEX: 01801), a world-class biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures, and commercializes high-quality medicines for the treatment of oncologic, autoimmune, cardiovascular and metabolic, ophthalmologic, and other major diseases, announces the non-covalent (reversible) Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, Jaypirca® (pirtobrutinib), has received approval by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in China for a new indication for the treatment of adult patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) after at least one line of systemic therapy including a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.

Pirtobrutinib is a highly selective kinase inhibitor that utilizes a novel non-covalent binding mechanism to extend the benefit of targeting the BTK pathway in CLL/SLL patients previously treated with a covalent BTK inhibitor (ibrutinib, acalabrutinib, or zanubrutinib).[1],[2] Pirtobrutinib received approval from the U.S. FDA in January 2023 as a non‑covalent (reversible) BTK inhibitor. In October 2024, pirtobrutinib was approved in China as a monotherapy for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have previously received at least two prior systemic therapies, including a Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor.

The approval of this new indication is based on results from the international, multicenter, randomized, Phase 3 BRUIN CLL‑321 study. BRUIN CLL‑321 is the world’s first randomized Phase 3 trial conducted in patients with CLL/SLL who had previously been treated with a covalent BTK inhibitor (cBTKi). The study enrolled a total of 238 patients and evaluated the efficacy and safety of pirtobrutinib monotherapy versus investigator’s choice of IdelaR (idelalisib plus rituximab) or BR (bendamustine plus rituximab). The results demonstrated that pirtobrutinib significantly prolonged median progression‑free survival (PFS) compared with the investigator’s choice regimen (14.0 months vs 8.7 months; hazard ratio [HR] = 0.54). In addition, the discontinuation rate due to treatment‑related adverse events was lower with pirtobrutinib (5.2% vs 21.1%), further supporting its efficacy and tolerability advantages in patients previously treated with a covalent BTK inhibitor.[3]

Professor Lu-Gui Qiu, Principal Investigator of the BRUIN CLL321 study in China, Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, stated, “BTK inhibitors have become the preferred first‑ or second‑line treatment for patients with CLL/SLL, yet some patients still experience disease progression and have a poor prognosis. Studies have shown that the median overall survival for patients after discontinuing a covalent BTK inhibitor is only about 22.7 months.[4] Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for new treatment. As a next‑generation, non‑covalent and reversible BTK inhibitor, pirtobrutinib represents an important advancement for patients with relapsed or refractory CLL. The BRUIN CLL‑321 study demonstrated its therapeutic potential in CLL/SLL. We believe it will offer an important treatment option for patients with CLL/SLL in China and help meet the needs of long‑term disease management in the future.”

Dr. Li Wang, Lilly Corporate Senior Vice President, Head of Lilly China Drug Development & Medical Affairs Center, states, “The approval of pirtobrutinib for the CLL/SLL indication in China marks an important milestone in the treatment journey for Chinese CLL/SLL patients. It means that patients who continue to experience disease progression after covalent BTK inhibitor therapy can now gain timely access to this globally innovative treatment option. Supported by the efficacy and safety demonstrated in the BRUIN CLL‑321 study, we are pleased to offer a new therapeutic choice for CLL/SLL patient population with significant unmet medical needs in China. Looking ahead, Lilly will remain committed to accelerating the introduction of cutting‑edge therapies to help patients with hematologic malignancies in China achieve longer and better quality of survival. This is our enduring commitment to patients in China.”

Dr. Hui Zhou, Chief R&D Officer of Oncology in Innovent, stated, “Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib) is a next-generation, non-covalent (reversible) BTK inhibitor. It offers a novel treatment option for patients who have previously received covalent BTK inhibitor therapy. The approval in China for CLL/SLL represents a significant breakthrough in this field, which ensures that CLL/SLL patients in China have timely access to this global therapeutic innovation. We will fully leverage Innovent’s leading brand presence and commercialization capabilities in oncology, to accelerate the accessibility of this innovative therapy, thereby benefiting more cancer patients in need.”

About BRUIN CLL-321
BRUIN CLL-321 is a Phase 3, randomized, open-label study of Jaypirca versus investigator’s choice of idelalisib plus rituximab (IdelaR) or bendamustine plus rituximab (BR) in covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor pre-treated patients with relapsed and refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The trial enrolled 238 patients, who were randomized 1:1 to receive Jaypirca (200 mg orally, once daily) or investigator’s choice of either IdelaR or BR per labeled doses. This trial’s primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS) per 2018 International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) criteria, as assessed by blinded independent review committee (IRC). Secondary endpoints include PFS, as assessed by investigator; overall response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR); event-free survival; overall survival (OS) and time to next treatment (TTNT); safety and tolerability; and patient-reported outcomes (PRO).  

About Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib)
Jaypirca (pirtobrutinib, formerly known as LOXO-305) (pronounced jay-pihr-kaa) is a highly selective (300 times more selective for BTK versus 98% of other kinases tested in preclinical studies), non-covalent (reversible) inhibitor of the enzyme BTK.[2] BTK is a validated molecular target found across numerous B-cell leukemias and lymphomas including mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).[5],[6]

In China, pirtobrutinib was developed by Eli Lilly and Company and is commercialized in mainland China by Innovent Biologics.

About Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are forms of slow-growing non-Hodgkin lymphoma that develop from white blood cells known as lymphocytes.[7] In China, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) represents approximately 6%–7% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases.[8] SLL is identical to CLL from a pathologic and immunophenotypic standpoint, with the main difference between them being the location of the cancer cells. In CLL, the cancer cells are present in the blood, and in SLL, the cancer cells are found in the lymph nodes.[7]

Unprecedented Surge: Gold Price Hits Astounding New Record High

Unprecedented Surge: Gold Price Hits Astounding New Record High

BitcoinWorld Unprecedented Surge: Gold Price Hits Astounding New Record High While the world often buzzes with the latest movements in Bitcoin and altcoins, a traditional asset has quietly but powerfully commanded attention: gold. This week, the gold price has once again made headlines, touching an astounding new record high of $3,704 per ounce. This significant milestone reminds investors, both traditional and those deep in the crypto space, of gold’s enduring appeal as a store of value and a hedge against uncertainty. What’s Driving the Record Gold Price Surge? The recent ascent of the gold price to unprecedented levels is not a random event. Several powerful macroeconomic forces are converging, creating a perfect storm for the precious metal. Geopolitical Tensions: Escalating conflicts and global instability often drive investors towards safe-haven assets. Gold, with its long history of retaining value during crises, becomes a preferred choice. Inflation Concerns: Persistent inflation in major economies erodes the purchasing power of fiat currencies. Consequently, investors seek assets like gold that historically maintain their value against rising prices. Central Bank Policies: Many central banks globally are accumulating gold at a significant pace. This institutional demand provides a strong underlying support for the gold price. Furthermore, expectations around interest rate cuts in the future also make non-yielding assets like gold more attractive. These factors collectively paint a picture of a cautious market, where investors are looking for stability amidst a turbulent economic landscape. Understanding Gold’s Appeal in Today’s Market For centuries, gold has held a unique position in the financial world. Its latest record-breaking performance reinforces its status as a critical component of a diversified portfolio. Gold offers a tangible asset that is not subject to the same digital vulnerabilities or regulatory shifts that can impact cryptocurrencies. While digital assets offer exciting growth potential, gold provides a foundational stability that appeals to a broad spectrum of investors. Moreover, the finite supply of gold, much like Bitcoin’s capped supply, contributes to its perceived value. The current market environment, characterized by economic uncertainty and fluctuating currency values, only amplifies gold’s intrinsic benefits. It serves as a reliable hedge when other asset classes, including stocks and sometimes even crypto, face downward pressure. How Does This Record Gold Price Impact Investors? A soaring gold price naturally raises questions for investors. For those who already hold gold, this represents a significant validation of their investment strategy. For others, it might spark renewed interest in this ancient asset. Benefits for Investors: Portfolio Diversification: Gold often moves independently of other asset classes, offering crucial diversification benefits. Wealth Preservation: It acts as a robust store of value, protecting wealth against inflation and economic downturns. Liquidity: Gold markets are highly liquid, allowing for relatively easy buying and selling. Challenges and Considerations: Opportunity Cost: Investing in gold means capital is not allocated to potentially higher-growth assets like equities or certain cryptocurrencies. Volatility: While often seen as stable, gold prices can still experience significant fluctuations, as evidenced by its rapid ascent. Considering the current financial climate, understanding gold’s role can help refine your overall investment approach. Looking Ahead: The Future of the Gold Price What does the future hold for the gold price? While no one can predict market movements with absolute certainty, current trends and expert analyses offer some insights. Continued geopolitical instability and persistent inflationary pressures could sustain demand for gold. Furthermore, if global central banks continue their gold acquisition spree, this could provide a floor for prices. However, a significant easing of inflation or a de-escalation of global conflicts might reduce some of the immediate upward pressure. Investors should remain vigilant, observing global economic indicators and geopolitical developments closely. The ongoing dialogue between traditional finance and the emerging digital asset space also plays a role. As more investors become comfortable with both gold and cryptocurrencies, a nuanced understanding of how these assets complement each other will be crucial for navigating future market cycles. The recent surge in the gold price to a new record high of $3,704 per ounce underscores its enduring significance in the global financial landscape. It serves as a powerful reminder of gold’s role as a safe haven asset, a hedge against inflation, and a vital component for portfolio diversification. While digital assets continue to innovate and capture headlines, gold’s consistent performance during times of uncertainty highlights its timeless value. Whether you are a seasoned investor or new to the market, understanding the drivers behind gold’s ascent is crucial for making informed financial decisions in an ever-evolving world. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Q1: What does a record-high gold price signify for the broader economy? A record-high gold price often indicates underlying economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and geopolitical instability. Investors tend to flock to gold as a safe haven when they lose confidence in traditional currencies or other asset classes. Q2: How does gold compare to cryptocurrencies as a safe-haven asset? Both gold and some cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) are often considered safe havens. Gold has a centuries-long history of retaining value during crises, offering tangibility. Cryptocurrencies, while newer, offer decentralization and can be less susceptible to traditional financial system failures, but they also carry higher volatility and regulatory risks. Q3: Should I invest in gold now that its price is at a record high? Investing at a record high requires careful consideration. While the price might continue to climb due to ongoing market conditions, there’s also a risk of a correction. It’s crucial to assess your personal financial goals, risk tolerance, and consider diversifying your portfolio rather than putting all your capital into a single asset. Q4: What are the main factors that influence the gold price? The gold price is primarily influenced by global economic uncertainty, inflation rates, interest rate policies by central banks, the strength of the U.S. dollar, and geopolitical tensions. Demand from jewelers and industrial uses also play a role, but investment and central bank demand are often the biggest drivers. Q5: Is gold still a good hedge against inflation? Historically, gold has proven to be an effective hedge against inflation. When the purchasing power of fiat currencies declines, gold tends to hold its value or even increase, making it an attractive asset for preserving wealth during inflationary periods.
