The company maintains a strategic focus on critical therapeutic areas, including various oncology indications, autoimmune disorders, and ophthalmology. Its portfolio of marketed products encompasses several significant biosimilars and innovative monoclonal antibodies. Noteworthy offerings include HANLIKANG, a rituximab injection utilized for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and rheumatoid arthritis; HANQUYOU, a trastuzumab injection (also known as HERCESSI™ in the U.S. and Zercepac® in Europe) approved for HER2-positive breast and metastatic gastric cancers across China, Europe, and the U.S.; HANDAYUAN, an adalimumab injection targeting conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, plaque psoriasis, and uveitis; and HANBEITAI, a bevacizumab injection for metastatic colorectal cancer and non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer. Furthermore, HANSIZHUANG (serplulimab, or Hetronifly® in Europe), an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody, is a key innovative product, notably the world's first approved for the first-line treatment of extensive small cell lung cancer, and is also indicated for microsatellite instability-high solid tumors and squamous non-small cell lung cancer.
