The clinical trial, being conducted in collaboration with City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, with its National Medical Center ranked among the nation’s top cancer centers by U.S. News & World Report, represents a significant milestone in developing a novel therapeutic approach that harnesses patients’ own tumor cells to stimulate targeted immune responses against their cancer.

"We are excited to begin enrolling patients in this groundbreaking trial," said Raymond P. Goodrich, PhD, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of PhotonPharma. "Innocell represents a fundamentally different approach to cancer immunotherapy, presenting the complete spectrum of tumor antigens to the immune system, potentially overcoming the challenge of tumor heterogeneity that limits the effectiveness of many existing treatments."

About the Clinical Trial

The Phase 1 study will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of Innocell in patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. The trial is designed to evaluate real-time safety profiles and measure immunologic responses following treatment with the investigational autologous cellular immunotherapy.

Addressing a Critical Unmet Medical Need

Ovarian cancer represents a significant public health challenge, with approximately 20,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the United States and approximately 13,000 deaths per year. Approximately 70-80% of patients are diagnosed at Stage III or IV, and the five-year survival rate remains approximately 50%. Despite advances in surgical techniques and chemotherapy regimens, recurrence rates remain high, with approximately 50% of patients experiencing relapse within three to five years following initial treatment.

"Patients with recurrent ovarian cancer face limited curative treatment options. City of Hope is conducting translational research to address even the most challenging cancers," said Mihae Song, M.D., Assistant Professor, Division of Gynecologic Oncology, Department of Surgery at City of Hope and principal investigator for the trial. "PhotonPharma’s approach offers a promising new avenue that could potentially help these patients by activating their own immune systems to recognize and attack cancer cells."

The Innocell Technology Platform

Innocell is an autologous cellular immunotherapy that utilizes a proprietary photochemical inactivation process involving ultraviolet light and riboflavin (vitamin B2), the same technology platform originally developed for pathogen inactivation in blood products, currently used globally. This process renders tumor cells replication-incompetent while preserving their metabolic activity, and upregulating protein expression and antigen presentation capabilities.

The patented technology enables customized treatment within approximately one week at scale, significantly faster than many current autologous cell therapies. Following tumor harvest through surgery or biopsy, cells are treated with the photochemical inactivation process and combined with an adjuvant to enhance immune activation. The processed cells are then administered intradermally to stimulate comprehensive immune responses, including activation of both cellular (T-cell mediated) and humoral (antibody-mediated) immunity.

Trial Participation Information

Patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer who are interested in learning more about participation in this clinical trial should contact City of Hope or visit ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06366490) for detailed eligibility criteria and enrollment information. The study is seeking adult patients (≥18 years old) with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer who have received at least 1 line of platinum-based systemic therapy and for whom single-agent therapy is appropriate as the next line of treatment.

The upcoming presentations will feature clinical data from the Company’s lead programs, including the HCB101-101 Phase 1 monotherapy (NCT05892718) and the HCB101-201 Phase 1b/2a combination (NCT06771622) studies, as well as the HCB301-101 Phase 1 monotherapy (NCT06487624) study, highlighting the therapeutic potential of its CD47-SIRPα innate immune backbone and multi-functional biologics:

HCB101: A highly engineered SIRPα–IgG4 Fc-fusion protein designed to maximize phagocytosis while minimizing hematologic toxicities.
HCB301: A first-in-class multi-specific candidate targeting the CD47/SIRPα, PD-1/PD-L1, and TGFb pathways to overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).
"The concentration of oral and poster presentations at premier global forums like AACR (Free AACR Whitepaper)-IO and ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper)-TAT reflects the significant momentum of our clinical programs," said Alvin Luk, PhD, MBA, CCRA, President & Chief Medical Officer (Group) and CEO (U.S.A.) of HanchorBio. "By presenting data on both HCB101 and HCB301, we are demonstrating our ability to execute our complex, multi-center trials and our commitment to delivering next-generation innate immune checkpoint therapies to patients globally."

About HCB101: A Next-Generation SIRPα Fc-Fusion Protein

HCB101 is a rationally engineered SIRPα–IgG4 Fc fusion protein developed on HanchorBio’s FBDB platform to selectively block the CD47–SIRPα innate immune checkpoint while minimizing hematologic toxicity. Unlike earlier anti-CD47 approaches, HCB101 is designed to preserve macrophage-mediated antitumor activity while reducing binding to red blood cells, a limitation that historically constrained the clinical utility of CD47-directed therapies.

HCB101 was engineered using AI-assisted structural modeling to achieve differentiated binding to CD47 on cancer cells while maintaining low affinity for CD47 on red blood cells. Its safety profile, receptor occupancy characteristics, and pharmacologic properties are designed to support integration with established oncology regimens without disrupting standard dosing, safety expectations, or clinical workflows. Across ongoing clinical and translational evaluation, HCB101 has demonstrated consistent target engagement and early antitumor activity as both monotherapy and in combination settings, including tumor types historically considered challenging for CD47-directed therapies.

Together, these attributes position HCB101 as a differentiated innate immune checkpoint backbone with broad potential for a wide variety of combination strategies across solid tumors and hematologic malignancies.

About HCB301: A Tri-Specific Checkpoint Immunotherapy

HCB301 is HanchorBio’s next-generation immunotherapy designed to integrate three synergistic mechanisms into a single molecule: CD47-SIRPα blockade to activate myeloid phagocytosis, PD-1 inhibition to restore exhausted T cells, and TGF-b pathway suppression to counteract immune evasion. Developed using the proprietary FBDB platform, HCB301 represents a next-generation approach to multi-checkpoint immunotherapy. Preclinical studies demonstrated enhanced immune activation and potent antitumor activity, and the results were presented at the SITC (Free SITC Whitepaper) 2025.
