• 與安進合作探索靶向DLL3的ADC藥物zocilurtatug pelitecan聯合IMDELLTRA^®的臨床潛力
• 安進將申辦並執行一項全球1b期研究；再鼎醫藥保留zocilurtatug pelitecan的完整所有權

上海和馬薩諸塞州劍橋2026年4月2日 /美通社/ -- 再鼎醫藥有限公司（納斯達克代碼：ZLAB；香港聯交所股份代號：9688）今日宣佈與安進公司（納斯達克代碼：AMGN）達成一項全球臨床研究合作，旨在評估再鼎醫藥處於臨床階段的靶向delta樣配體3（DLL3）的抗體藥物偶聯物（ADC）zocilurtatug pelitecan（zoci，前稱ZL-1310）聯合安進IMDELLTRA^®（tarlatamab-dlle），一款靶向DLL3的雙特異性T細胞銜接器（BiTE^®）療法，用於治療廣泛期小細胞肺癌（ES-SCLC）患者。

作為該合作協議的一部分，安進將申辦一項全球1b期研究，評估zoci聯合IMDELLTRA^®在ES-SCLC患者中的安全性和有效性。再鼎醫藥將保留zoci的完整所有權，並將向安進提供臨床研究用藥。

再鼎醫藥總裁、全球研發負責人Rafael G. Amado博士表示：「這種雙靶向聯合策略有望提升全身及顱內治療的緩解率和緩解程度，應對耐藥機制，並為小細胞肺癌患者開闢新的治療範式。這兩種療法利用了互補的作用機制——我們的ADC將強效的細胞毒性載荷直接遞送至表達DLL3的腫瘤細胞，而T細胞銜接器則旨在通過結合同一抗原激活T細胞，引發抗腫瘤免疫應答。」

Zoci是靶向DLL3的 ADC，用於小細胞肺癌的治療。再鼎醫藥已在2025年EORTC-NCI-AACR（ENA）大會和2025年美國臨床腫瘤學會（ASCO）年會上公佈了zoci的1/2期臨床研究數據，數據顯示zoci在經過多藥治療的小細胞肺癌（SCLC）患者中實現了高緩解率，展示了顯著的顱內活性且可耐受的安全性。安進的IMDELLTRA^®已獲得FDA批准，目前在美國上市，用於治療既往接受含鉑化療後出現疾病進展的ES-SCLC成人患者。請參閱IMDELLTRA^®包括黑框警告在內的完整處方信息。

關於Zocilurtatug Pelitecan (zoci, 前稱ZL-1310)

Zoci是再鼎醫藥全球腫瘤研發管線中一款靶向DLL3的新型ADC。DLL3是一種在多個神經內分泌癌症中過度表達的抗原，是小細胞肺癌（SCLC）已驗證的治療靶點，通常與不良臨床預後相關。Zoci包含人源化抗DLL3單克隆抗體，該抗體與新型喜樹鹼衍生物（一種拓撲異構酶1抑制劑）連接作為其有效載荷。此分子的設計來源於新型ADC技術平台TMALIN^®。該平台能夠利用腫瘤微環境克服第一代ADC療法遇到的相關挑戰（包括脫靶載荷的毒性）。

Zoci正在進行全球臨床開發，涉及以下三項臨床研究方案：DLLEVATE研究——一項隨機三期關鍵性研究，旨在進一步評估zoci對比研究者選擇的單藥化療用於復發性ES-SCLC患者中的安全性和有效性；一項評估zoci用於包括肺外神經內分泌癌的特定實體瘤中的1b/2期研究；以及一項評估zoci單藥及聯合免疫檢查點抑制劑阿替利珠單抗用於ES-SCLC的1a/1b期研究。

Zoci的安全性特徵及明確的全身性和顱內的療效，支持其有望作為ES-SCLC一線聯合方案的基石，用以降低化療的毒性負擔。Zoci已獲得美國FDA授予的治療SCLC的孤兒藥資格認定和快速通道資格認定。

關於小細胞肺癌（SCLC）

小細胞肺癌是最具侵襲性和致命的實體腫瘤之一，每年全球約250萬被診斷為肺癌的患者中，大約有15%屬於小細胞肺癌^[1,2]。其中，約三分之二的小細胞肺癌患者在確診時已經處於廣泛期^[3]。該階段復發率高且預後差。ES-SCLC患者預後尤為嚴峻：初始治療後中位總生存期僅約12個月^[4]，五年總生存率約5-10%^[5]。一旦患者使用含鉑化療後出現疾病進展，可用的治療選擇曾經十分有限。IMDELLTRA^®是首款靶向DLL3的雙特異性T細胞銜接器療法，在上述患者中已驗證具有總生存期獲益。Zocilurtatug Pelitecan與IMDELLTRA^®的聯合用藥方案有望在此優勢基礎上，進一步改善有效性，同時保持可控的安全性^[6]。

According to Bloomberg, a US man on Tuesday (31st) filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, seeking to represent users of artificial intelligence startup Perplexity in a class action, alleging that the startup secretly shared users personal information with Meta (META.US) and Google under Alphabet (GOOGL.US), in suspected violation of California privacy laws.

The complaint alleges that once users log into Perplexity s homepage, a tracker is downloaded onto their devices, enabling Meta and Google to gain full access to conversations between users and Perplexity s AI-powered search engine. Even if users register and use Perplexity s "incognito" mode, their personal data is still shared. The filing further claims that "hard-to-detect" tracking software is embedded in the search engine s code, automatically transmitting user conversations to Meta, Google and other third parties. The plaintiff stated that he had shared information such as his household finances, taxes, investment portfolio and investment strategies with the Perplexity chatbot.

The complaint also names Meta and Google as defendants, alleging that both companies violated federal and state computer privacy and anti-fraud laws. (fc/u)~

Liao Yixian, co-founder of Super Micro Computer (SMCI.US), pleaded not guilty on Wednesday at a hearing held in Manhattan, New York, to charges of assisting in the illegal transfer of Nvidia (NVDA.US) servers worth tens of billions of USD to China. The judge set the trial date for November 2.

US prosecutors last month charged Liao Yixian with violating US export controls by shipping high-performance computer servers assembled in the United States and equipped with Nvidia GPUs to China. Prosecutors allege that Liao Yixian and other company personnel sold the AI technology through a company in SE Asia, while knowing that the technology would ultimately be transshipped to China. Liao Yixian subsequently resigned from his position at Super Micro Computer.

• Apollo Go launches a fully driverless commercial ride-hailing service in Dubai via the Apollo Go app, marking the platform's first international app deployment.
• Collaboration with Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) powers Apollo Go's autonomous mobility expansion in the emirate.

DUBAI, UAE, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888) today announced that its autonomous ride-hailing platform, Apollo Go, in partnership with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), has launched a fully driverless commercial ride-hailing service in Dubai via the Apollo Go app, marking the platform's first international app deployment and a major milestone in the region. This comes alongside Apollo Go's strategic collaboration with Dubai Taxi Company (DTC), the emirate's leading mobility service provider, bringing strong local operational expertise to support the service.

The Apollo Go app is now available in Dubai, allowing residents and visitors to hail fully driverless rides. This launch represents a significant step forward in Apollo Go's plan — announced in March 2025 — to deploy a fleet of more than 1,000 autonomous vehicles in Dubai over the next few years. The collaboration with DTC further strengthens local operations and underscores the commercialization of fully autonomous mobility in the emirate.

"Our partnership with DTC represents a new chapter for autonomous mobility in Dubai. By combining our cutting-edge technology with DTC's local expertise, and through the launch of the Apollo Go app, our first international app deployment, we are creating a safe, efficient and scalable ride-hailing service that sets a new standard for the region. We are proud to contribute to Dubai's vision for smart, future-ready transportation," said Nan Yang, Vice President of Baidu and General Manager of Overseas Business Unit, Intelligent Driving Group.

Mansoor Rahma Alfalasi, Group CEO, DTC, said, "Dubai Taxi Company is proud and excited to be among the first entities to roll out the operations of driverless taxis in Dubai, marking a significant milestone in advancing the emirate's vision for smart and sustainable mobility. This initiative is in line with DTC's innovation-driven strategy and its commitment to delivering future-ready services that elevate the customer experience. We are grateful to our strategic partner, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), for their unwavering support and the development of a comprehensive infrastructure that enables the seamless deployment of driverless taxis, aligned with the ambition of transforming 25% of all transportation trips into smart and driverless journeys by 2030."

"We are equally proud to partner with Baidu Inc. to bring this future-forward technology to life, combining global innovation with Dubai's pioneering spirit. The successful trials conducted over the past few months have demonstrated the vehicles' readiness, particularly in terms of safety, reliability, and operational efficiency, reinforcing our confidence in scaling this initiative," he added.

This commercial launch follows a key milestone earlier this year. In January 2026, Apollo Go received Dubai's first-ever driverless testing permit for fully autonomous vehicles without a safety driver. This regulatory approval enables Baidu to operate fully autonomous ride-hailing services in Dubai in the first quarter of 2026, positioning the city as a strategic hub for autonomous mobility innovation. Also in January 2026, Baidu inaugurated the Apollo Go Park in Dubai, which serves as the company's first overseas operations and management hub, supporting plans for a fleet of over 1,000 autonomous vehicles in the coming years.

Dubai marks a key strategic hub in Apollo Go's growing global network, as it continues to expand its footprint worldwide. As of February 2026, Apollo Go has completed over 20 million rides worldwide, with weekly rides peaking at more than 300,000 during Q4 2025. Its fleets have accumulated over 300 million autonomous kilometers, including more than 190 million kilometers of fully driverless operations, with an outstanding safety record.
