About Summit Ivonescimab, also known as SMT112, is a novel, potential first‑in‑class investigational bispecific antibody that combines the effects of immunotherapy via a blockade of PD‑1 with the anti‑angiogenesis effects associated with blocking VEGF into a single molecule. Ivonescimab displays unique cooperative binding to each of its intended targets with multifold higher affinity when the presence of both PD‑1 and VEGF.
Summit has begun its clinical development of ivonescimab in non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with three active Phase III trials:
HARMONi is a Phase III clinical trial which evaluates ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy compared to placebo plus chemotherapy in patients with EGFR‑mutated, locally advanced or metastatic non‑squamous NSCLC who have progressed after treatment with a 3rd generation EGFR TKI (e.g., osimertinib).
HARMONi‑3 is a Phase III clinical trial that evaluates ivonescimab combined with chemotherapy compared to pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with first‑line metastatic NSCLC.
HARMONi‑7 is a Phase III clinical trial that evaluates ivonescimab monotherapy compared to pembrolizumab monotherapy in patients with first‑line metastatic NSCLC whose tumors have high PD‑L1 expression.
Ivonescimab is an investigational therapy that is not approved by any regulatory authority in Summit’s license territories, including the United States and Europe. It was approved for marketing authorization in China in May 2024 and received Fast Track designation by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the HARMONi clinical trial setting.
