ESMO 2026 | HC010, a PD-1/VEGF/CTLA-4 trispecific antibody, in advanced solid tumors

Yuxiang Ma, MD, PhD, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, China, highlights preliminary results from the first-in-human Phase I dose-escalation study (NCT06307925) of HC010, a trispecific antibody targeting PD-1, CTLA-4 and VEGF, in heavily pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors, most commonly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Encouraging efficacy signals were seen especially in immunotherapy-refractory patients and the drug showed a manageable safety profile and early antitumor activity across multiple tumor types. This interview took place at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) 2026 Congress in Madrid, Spain.

HC010 is a tumor-specific antibody. It’s an immunotherapy, immune checkpoint. And when we talk about antibodies with hormonal antibodies, and we are talking about the second generation of immune checkpoints, the bispecific antibody, the tumor-specific antibody. What I reported last month is a trispecific antibody. It inhibits the PD-L1, VEGF, and the CTLA-4. So it’s more like a combined drug for two immunotherapies and the VEGF...

HC010 is a tumor-specific antibody. It’s an immunotherapy, immune checkpoint. And when we talk about antibodies with hormonal antibodies, and we are talking about the second generation of immune checkpoints, the bispecific antibody, the tumor-specific antibody. What I reported last month is a trispecific antibody. It inhibits the PD-L1, VEGF, and the CTLA-4. So it’s more like a combined drug for two immunotherapies and the VEGF. So the preliminary results, the efficacy is nearly 20% of the patients have achieved partial remission. All these patients are pretty heavily treated and have shown good promising efficacy. And what is worth mentioning is that the PD marker is very good. The neutralization of VEGF in the circulation of peripheral blood is nearly 90% to 100% for the neutralization of VEGF and nearly 100% for the PD-L1 neutralization. So this drug, when we are doing the combination treatments we are currently doing now, the combination is ongoing, so we have very much confidence that this drug can be comparable or even better than the currently available biologic antibodies.
