ZIIHERA Plus TEVIMBRA and Chemotherapy: A Potential New Standard for First-Line HER2+ Advanced GEA

 SAN CARLOS, Calif. - Wednesday, 07. January 2026 AETOSWire 

Combination therapy showed compelling survival and disease control compared to current standard, regardless of PD-L1 status

High GEA burden in Asia, where BeOne holds ZIIHERA rights, signals potential broad patient impact

Results to be presented as a Late-Breaking Abstract Oral Presentation at ASCO GI on January 8, 2026

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- BeOne Medicines Ltd. (Nasdaq: ONC; HKEX: 06160; SSE: 688235), a global oncology company, today announced full results from the Phase 3 HERIZON-GEA-01 trial evaluating ZIIHERA® (zanidatamab), a HER2-targeted bispecific antibody, in combination with chemotherapy, with and without PD-1 inhibitor TEVIMBRA® (tislelizumab), as a first-line treatment for HER2-positive (HER2+) locally advanced or metastatic gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA). These data, including the first interim overall survival (OS) analysis, will be presented as a Late-Breaking Abstract Oral Presentation (#LBA285) at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI) on January 8, 2026, from 8:57- 9:07 a.m. PST.

HERIZON-GEA-01 met the dual primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS), demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in both experimental arms compared to the control arm. The addition of TEVIMBRA to ZIIHERA and chemotherapy also showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS) (mOS: 26.4 months, HR=0.72 [95% CI: 0.57, 0.90]; P=0.0043), resulting in a 28% reduction in the risk of death and a greater than 7-month improvement in mOS. These PFS and OS benefits were observed in the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm versus the control arm regardless of PD-L1 expression level, with approximately one-third of enrolled patients with tumors classified as PD-L1 < 1%. ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy showed a clinically meaningful survival benefit with a mOS of 24.4 months, a strong trend toward statistical significance at the time of this first interim analysis for OS.

“The HERIZON-GEA-01 results are encouraging, with median overall survival for tislelizumab plus zanidatamab and chemotherapy surpassing two years, an outcome that marks a significant advancement in the treatment of metastatic HER2+ gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma,” said Manish Shah, M.D., Chief of the Solid Tumor Service and Director of Gastrointestinal Oncology at Weill Cornell Medicine and a medical oncologist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, who serves as a paid advisory board member for Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and BeOne Medicines Ltd. “Unlike prior studies in HER2+ GEA with checkpoint blockade therapy, the addition of tislelizumab demonstrated meaningful activity even in TAP PD-L1 < 1%, suggesting a potential new treatment option for this subgroup, while broadening choices for patients with PD-L1 ≥1%.”

Further highlights from the HERIZON-GEA-01 results include:

TEVIMBRA added to ZIIHERA and chemotherapy (n=302; mPFS: 12.4 months, HR=0.63 [95% CI: 0.51, 0.78], P=<0.0001) resulted in a 37% reduction in the risk of disease progression and a greater than 4-month improvement in mPFS.

Patients receiving ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy (n=304; mPFS: 12.4 months, HR=0.65 [95% CI: 0.52, 0.81], P=<0.0001) showed a 35% reduction in the risk of disease progression and a similar greater than 4-month improvement in mPFS.

These results compare favorably to mPFS of 8.1 months in patients treated with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy.

In the PD-L1 negative subgroup (TAP score <1%), the HR results for PFS were 0.47 [95% CI: 0.32, 0.69] in the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm and the HR results for OS were 0.49 [95% CI: 0.33, 0.73].

In the PD-L1 positive subgroup (TAP score >1%), the HR results for PFS were 0.65 [95% CI: 0.49, 0.86] in the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm and the HR results for OS were 0.82 [95% CI: 0.60, 1.10].

Both experimental arms demonstrated improvements in the key secondary endpoints of objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DOR) versus the control arm, with ZIIHERA and chemotherapy resulting in an ORR of 69.6% with a median DOR of 14.32 months (CI 95%: 11.53, 21.85). The ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm induced an ORR of 70.7%, with the median DOR reaching 20.70 months (CI 95%: 12.55, 37.65), highlighting TEVIMBRA’s essential role in the durability of response observed with the regimen.

“The comprehensive results of the HERIZON-GEA-01 study, particularly the improvement in overall survival shown in the TEVIMBRA plus ZIIHERA and chemotherapy arm, pave the way for the adoption of a new standard in first-line HER2-positive metastatic GEA,” said Mark Lanasa, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer, Solid Tumors at BeOne. “BeOne holds commercial rights for ZIIHERA in most of Asia Pacific, where the GEA burden is highest. With these data, we anticipate the opportunity to expand access so more patients can benefit.”

The safety profile of ZIIHERA in combination with chemotherapy, with or without TEVIMBRA, was consistent with the known effects of HER2-directed therapy and immunotherapy, and no new safety signals were identified. Duration of treatment was longest on the ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy arm. Rates of Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were 71.8% with ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy, 59.0% with ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, and 59.6% with trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. Rates of discontinuation of ZIIHERA or trastuzumab due to TRAEs were 11.9% with ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy, 8.5% with ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, and 2.3% in the trastuzumab plus chemotherapy arm. The most common Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse event (TRAE) was diarrhea (24.5% of patients with ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy; 20.0% with ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy; and 12.9% of patients in the trastuzumab plus chemotherapy arm). Importantly, discontinuation of either ZIIHERA or trastuzumab due to treatment-related diarrhea was uncommon (4.1% of patients with ZIIHERA plus TEVIMBRA and chemotherapy, 1.3% with ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, and 0% of patients in the trastuzumab plus chemotherapy arm). Treatment-emergent diarrhea generally occurred early in treatment and resolved within 3 weeks. The manageable safety profile supports the feasibility of these combinations in the first-line metastatic setting.

These results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. BeOne intends to submit supplemental Biologics License Applications to the U.S. FDA for TEVIMBRA and to the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for TEVIMBRA and ZIIHERA, based on these data. The company also intends to work with authorities in its licensed territories to expedite regulatory submissions in these markets.

About the HERIZON-GEA-01 Phase 3 Trial

HERIZON-GEA-01 (NCT05152147) is a global, randomized, open-label Phase 3 trial, conducted jointly with Jazz Pharmaceuticals, to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of ZIIHERA plus chemotherapy, with or without TEVIMBRA, to the standard of care (trastuzumab plus chemotherapy) as first-line treatment for adult patients with advanced/metastatic HER2+ GEA. The trial randomized 914 patients from approximately 300 trial sites in more than 30 countries. Appropriate patients for this trial had unresectable locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic HER2+ GEA (adenocarcinomas of the stomach or esophagus, including the gastroesophageal junction), defined as 3+ HER2 expression by IHC or 2+ HER2 expression by IHC with ISH positivity per central assessment. Patients were randomized to the three trial arms: ZIIHERA in combination with chemotherapy and TEVIMBRA; ZIIHERA in combination with chemotherapy; and trastuzumab plus chemotherapy. The trial is evaluating dual primary endpoints, PFS per blinded independent central review (BICR) and OS.

About Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma

Gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (GEA), which includes cancers of the stomach, gastroesophageal junction, and esophagus, is the fifth most common cancer worldwide. Approximately 20% of GEA patients have HER2-positive disease1,2,3, which has high morbidity and mortality, and patients are urgently in need of new treatment options. The overall prognosis for patients with GEA remains poor, with a global five-year survival rate of less than 30% for gastric cancer and about 19% for GEA.4

About ZIIHERA (zanidatamab)

ZIIHERA (zanidatamab) is a bispecific human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, or HER2-directed antibody that binds to two extracellular sites on HER2. Binding of zanidatamab with HER2 results in internalization leading to a reduction in HER2 expression of the receptor on the tumor cell surface. Zanidatamab induces complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP). These mechanisms result in tumor growth inhibition and cell death in vitro and in vivo.5

Zanidatamab is being developed in multiple clinical trials as a targeted treatment option for patients with solid tumors that express HER2. Zanidatamab is approved in China for the treatment of patients who have unresectable, locally advanced, or metastatic HER2-high expression (IHC 3+) biliary tract cancer (BTC) and who have received prior systemic therapy. ZIIHERA also has been approved in both the U.S. and the European Union for eligible BTC patients. Zanidatamab is being developed by Jazz and BeOne under license agreements from Zymeworks, which first developed the molecule. BeOne has licensed zanidatamab from Zymeworks in Asia (excluding India and Japan), Australia and New Zealand. Jazz Pharmaceuticals has rights in all other regions.

ZIIHERA is a registered trademark of Zymeworks BC Inc.

About TEVIMBRA (tislelizumab)

TEVIMBRA is a uniquely designed humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody with high affinity and binding specificity against PD-1. It is designed to minimize binding to Fc-gamma (Fcγ) receptors on macrophages, helping to aid the body’s immune cells to detect and fight tumors.

TEVIMBRA is the foundational asset of BeOne’s solid tumor portfolio and has shown potential across multiple tumor types and disease settings. The global TEVIMBRA clinical development program includes almost 14,000 patients enrolled to date in 35 countries and regions across 70 trials, including 22 registration-enabling studies. TEVIMBRA is approved in at least one indication in 48 markets, and more than 1.8 million patients have been treated globally.

Select Important Safety Information

Serious and sometimes fatal adverse reactions occurred with TEVIMBRA treatment. Warnings and precautions include severe and fatal immune-mediated adverse reactions, including pneumonitis, colitis, hepatitis, endocrinopathies, dermatologic adverse reactions, nephritis with renal dysfunction, and solid organ transplant rejection. Other warnings and precautions include infusion-related reactions, complications of allogeneic HSCT, and embryo-fetal toxicity.

Heath Hoglund Joins Sisvel as Chief IP Officer

  LUXEMBOURG - Wednesday, 07. January 2026 AETOSWire  

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sisvel is pleased to announce the appointment of Heath Hoglund as the company’s first-ever Chief Intellectual Property Officer. In this role he will be fully responsible for the firm’s patent pools on a global basis.

One of the world’s top IP dealmakers, Hoglund joins Sisvel having taken the decision to leave Via Licensing, where he was an outstanding President for four years. Prior to that, he had been Vice-President of IP and Standards at Dolby, overseeing the company’s patent portfolio, its patent licensing programmes, and leading on the formation and design of numerous patent pools and standards initiatives.

The appointment creates a new Licensing and Programme Management leadership structure at Sisvel. This will strengthen collaboration between the functions, increasing Sisvel’s considerable growth potential. Licensing and Programme Management heads, Nick Webb and David Muus, will continue to lead their respective areas, retaining all current responsibilities.

Heath Hoglund’s track record in developing successful patent pools is unparalleled. He has consistently driven industry adoption of collaborative licensing models, enabling fair access to essential technologies while generating huge value for licensors and licensees. This expertise will be pivotal as Sisvel expands its footprint in emerging technology domains and strengthens its position as a global leader in patent pooling and IP monetisation.

 LAS VEGAS

Lenovo announces Lenovo and Motorola Qira personal agentic AI across devices, new Motorola flagship smartphones, expanded portfolio of AI PCs, visionary proofs of concept including agentic-native wearables, and revolutionary inferencing servers alongside breakthroughs in AI technologies for FIFA, Formula 1®, and entertainment.

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today at Tech World @ CES 2026 at Sphere in Las Vegas, Lenovo unveiled the boldest innovations yet for the future of Hybrid AI, introducing a new personal AI super agent, AI PCs and smartphones, proofs of concept including agentic-native wearables, next-generation enterprise AI infrastructure, and breakthrough industry collaborations in entertainment and sports.

Building on years of AI innovation across devices, infrastructure, solutions, and services, Lenovo demonstrated how AI is now personal, perceptive, proactive, and everywhere. Lenovo’s new offerings adapt to individuals and organizations, operating as digital twins to orchestrate actions across ecosystems and elevate productivity, connection, and creativity.

During an immersive experience on stage at Sphere, industry leaders and luminaries joined Lenovo to deliver a keynote detailing how Hybrid AI securely unites personal, enterprise, and public models to transform the world, from the football pitch to the factory floor—delivering Smarter AI for all.

Major announcements included:

Lenovo and Motorola Qira: This unified, personal AI super agent perceives, thinks, and acts—with user’s permission—to bring Lenovo’s singular vision of “one AI, multiple devices” to life across PCs, smartphones, tablets, and wearables.

AI-native devices: Next-gen AI PCs, flagship Motorola smartphones, a perceptive AI pendant concept, and concept smart glasses bring AI to wherever users need it.

“For each of us, AI will boost our creativity, sharpen our intuition, and inspire our imagination, because it now draws from our unique language, habits, experiences, and memories. This is a fundamental shift towards augmenting, elevating, and maximizing human potential,” said Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yuanqing Yang. “For a business, the transformation is even more profound: AI is going beyond process management and workflow optimization. It now empowers organizations to use proprietary data generated from their own operations and apply their own decision logic to become a self-learning, self-reinventing entity.”

This rapid adaptation and customization herald an unprecedented degree of seamless operation, with AI agents acting and interacting with greater autonomy and expertise—on device, on private servers, or in the cloud.

“This is what we call intelligent model orchestration and is the foundation of any AI Super Agent,” said Lenovo CTO Tolga Kurtoglu. “It enables an AI agent to access a pool of specialized models, identify the best one for the user’s need of the moment, and optimize performance—maximizing security, minimizing latency, and reducing compute cost.”
