中国上海和香港,2025年2月13日–致力于研发,生产和销售同类首款及/或同类最优血液及实体肿瘤疗法的商业化阶段领先创新生物制药公司–德琪医药有限公司(简称“德琪医药”,香港交易所股票代码:6996.HK)今日宣布,希维奥®(中文通用名:塞利尼索,台湾市场注册商品名:保必欧®)在台湾市场获批纳入全民健康保险,联合硼替佐米 (bortezomib) 和地塞米松 (dexamethasone) (XVd方案) 用于治疗接受过至少两种既往治疗的复发/难治性多发性骨髓瘤(R/R MM)成人患者。希维奥®将于2025年3月1日起正式纳入台湾市场《全民健康保险用药品项表》。
希维奥®是全球首个全新机制的口服选择性XPO1抑制剂,已在亚太市场的9个国家和地区获批用于治疗多项适应症,并在其中5个市场(中国大陆、台湾市场、澳大利亚、新加坡和韩国)实现医保收录。公司预计希维奥®将在亚太地区的更多市场获得医保收录。
多发性骨髓瘤(MM)是一种克隆浆细胞异常增殖导致的恶性疾病。研究报告显示,在台湾市场,MM是血液系统第二大常见的恶性肿瘤,每年新增约700至800例MM患者及400例相关死亡。1多数患者都面临着易复发、生存期短、治疗选择有限的困境。此次希维奥®成功在台湾市场获得医保报销批准,将进一步减轻患者经济负担,惠及更多患者及其家庭。
在持续推进亚太市场布局的同时,公司也正努力扩充希维奥®的适应症范围。基于其独特的作用机制,公司正在开发希维奥®在骨髓纤维化(MF)和子宫内膜癌等不同疾病领域的多种联合疗法。
关于希维奥®(塞利尼索)
希维奥®是全球首个全新机制的口服选择性核输出蛋白(XPO1)抑制剂,具有“全新机制、协同增效、快速起效、持久缓解”四大特点。
通过抑制核输出蛋白XPO1,希维奥®可促使肿瘤抑制蛋白和其他生长调节蛋白的核内储留和活化,并下调细胞浆内多种致癌蛋白水平。希维奥®发挥抗肿瘤作用机制的三条通路为:1)使抑癌蛋白在细胞核中明显聚集,再激活发挥抗肿瘤作用;2)使致癌基因mRNA滞留在细胞核,降低胞浆内致癌蛋白水平;3)激活糖皮质激素受体(GR)通路,恢复激素敏感性。基于其独特的作用机制,希维奥®在不同疾病领域的多种联合疗法正在进行开发。目前,德琪医药正在中国大陆地区开展多项(其中三项全球临床试验由德琪医药与Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc.[纳斯达克交易所股票代码:KPTI] 共同开展)针对复发/难治性血液及实体肿瘤的临床研究。

Antengene Announces XPOVIO® Approved for Public Health Insurance Coverage in Taiwan Market, Benefiting More Patients with R/R MM in the Region
- XPOVIO® is the first XPO1 inhibitor approved in Taiwan for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM).
- After the mainland of China, South Korea, Australia and Singapore, Taiwan market is the fifth APAC market in which XPOVIO® has been approved for public health insurance coverage.
- XPOVIO® is expected to extend public health insurance coverage across APAC markets.
Shanghai and Hong Kong, PRC, February 13, 2025 — Antengene Corporation Limited (“Antengene”, SEHK: 6996.HK), a leading innovative, commercial-stage global biopharmaceutical company dedicated to discovering, developing and commercializing first-in-class and/or best-in-class medicines for cancer, today announced that XPOVIO® (selinexor) in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone (XVd) for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM) who have received at least two prior therapies, has been approved for reimbursement in Taiwan. Starting from March 1, 2025, XPOVIO® will be officially included in the NHI drug reimbursement scheme.
With a novel mechanism of action, XPOVIO® is the world’s first approved orally-available, selective XPO1 inhibitor, which has already been approved in nine countries and regions in APAC, and included in the public insurance schemes in five of those markets (the mainland of China, Taiwan market, Australia, Singapore and South Korea). Moving forward, XPOVIO® is expected to extend public health insurance coverage across APAC markets.
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy caused by the dysregulated proliferation of plasma cells. According to epidemiology data, MM is the second most prevalent hematologic malignancy in Taiwan market, accounting for approximately 700 to 800 newly diagnosed cases and around 400 relevant deaths each year.1 Most patients with MM have to face a range of challenges in treatment, including high propensity to relapse, short period of survival, and limited treatment options. The inclusion of XPOVIO® for reimbursement coverage in Taiwan market, will further reduce the financial burden on many patients, benefiting more patients and their families.
While bringing XPOVIO® to more APAC markets, Antengene is also striving to expand the indications of XPOVIO®. Leveraging the drug’s novel mechanism of action, XPOVIO® is currently being developed with multiple combination regimens for the treatment of various additional indications including myelofibrosis (MF) and endometrial cancer.
About XPOVIO® (selinexor)
XPOVIO® is the world’s first approved orally-available, selective inhibitor of the nuclear export protein XPO1. It offers a novel mechanism of action, synergistic effects in combination regimens, fast onset of action, and durable responses.
By blocking the nuclear export protein XPO1, XPOVIO® can promote the intranuclear accumulation and activation of tumor suppressor proteins and growth regulating proteins, and down-regulate the levels of multiple oncogenic proteins. XPOVIO® delivers its antitumor effects through three mechanistic pathways: 1) exerting antitumor effects by inducing the intranuclear accumulation of tumor suppressor proteins; 2) reducing the level of oncogenic proteins in the cytoplasm by inducing the intranuclear accumulation of oncogenic mRNAs; 3) restoring hormone sensitivity by activating the glucocorticoid receptors (GR) pathway. To utilize its unique mechanism of actions, XPOVIO® is being evaluated for use in multiple combination regimens in a range of indications. At present, Antengene is conducting multiple clinical studies of XPOVIO® in the mainland of China for the treatment of relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies and solid tumors (3 of these studies are being jointly conducted by Antengene and Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. [Nasdaq:KPTI]).
