Matthew Yan's questions to HUTCHMED (China) (HCM) leadership • H1 2025
Question
Matthew Yan of CITIC CLSA asked about HUTCHMED's ATTC platform, including the timeline for target disclosure and the development strategy. He also inquired about the reasons for the recent sales decline and the revised timeline for the SYK inhibitor, sofloplanib.
Answer
CEO Weiguo Su explained that the ATTC target and preclinical data for A251 will be disclosed at the upcoming EORTC conference, with a development strategy focused on combinations in frontline settings. He attributed the transitory sales decline to anti-corruption activities impacting off-label use and a team transition, noting a recovery was already underway. Regarding the SYK inhibitor, he clarified that regulators guided them to focus on CMC validation, leading to a planned resubmission in H1 2026. EVP & Chief Medical Officer Michael Shi added that the ATTC platform's global development will leverage FDA's Project Frontrunner for earlier combination studies.
