For the record, ORIENT-32 is a phase 3 randomized, open-label clinical trial assessing TYVYT® (sintilimab injection) together with BYVASDA® (bevacizumab biosimilar injection, or IBI305) in order to develop a novel first-line treatment for advanced HCC( hepatocellular carcinoma) patients.
Registered patients were randomly allocated 2:1 to receive TYVYT® together with BYVASDA® or sorafenib until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, death, withdrawal of consent, or other numerous reasons mentioned in the protocol, whichever happens first.
Sources cite that TYVYT® together with BYVASDA® showed a statistically considerable improvement in OS and PFS compared with sorafenib. The safety profile of this combination in this clinical trial was also consistent with earlier reported studies, and no novel safety signals were recognized.

The company said it is planning to review these outcomes with CDE (Drug Evaluation Center) of NMPA (National Medical Products Administration) and will represent these data at the forthcoming medical conference.
