Zoomlion's Agricultural Machinery Gains Ground Across Kenya's Fields

NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zoomlion"; 1157.HK) is helping Kenyan farmers navigate the country's shifting seasons, where heavy rains turn fields to mud and the dry months leave soil unworkable. In Nakuru, Zoomlion's agricultural machinery is increasing land productivity and giving farmers tools suited to local field conditions. Around 70 percent of Kenya's population depends on farming but progress has been stymied by limited mechanization. Extreme weather strains traditional labor, and used equipment often falls short of demand. Reliable, efficient machines have become essential.


Zoomlion’s Agricultural Machinery Gains Ground Across Kenya’s Fields

At a Zoomlion warehouse, engineer Solomon inspects a tractor before delivery. Every unit undergoes a strict check. That day's shipment includes RC110 tractors heading to Angata Sugar Mills. March to May and September to November mark the country's busiest seasons. John, head of logistics at the sugar mills, prepares fleets of machines to move into the fields. Sugarcane is a vital cash crop, and the mill has planted 1,000 hectares with support from around 60 Zoomlion machines. Output and efficiency, he said, have climbed sharply.

Farmers and operators have embraced the tractors for their power, low fuel use, and simple controls, said Kenneth, a local Zoomlion service engineer. One storage site now holds almost 300 pieces of equipment including tractors, harvesters, and transplanting machines. Zoomlion's technology has also cut transportation costs. "After our tractors were deployed, operating costs for short-distance hauling dropped about 30 percent," said Zhu Wenxi, Zoomlion's Deputy General Manager for East Africa. For operators such as Malala, the change is personal, sharing: "We used to carry everything manually. Now the work is easier."

To keep equipment running smoothly, Zoomlion stations Kenyan engineers in the sugar factory for immediate support. John said their constant presence has been invaluable. Service teams also train local technicians, preparing them to handle issues independently. Climate challenges have pushed further innovation. Frequent braking on muddy roads caused early wear, prompting Zoomlion to upgrade brake pads on later models. Service engineer Ken Gang recently returned from a technical training trip in China. The experience, he said, helps him teach Kenyan operators safer and more efficient practices.

As machinery spreads through Kenya's fields, farmers are seeing higher yields and lighter workloads. And as cooperation deepens, Zoomlion is helping shape a modern agricultural path for the region, one rooted in shared innovation and growing opportunity.

Phase II Data of Cadonilimab Regimen as Neoadjuvant Therapy for Resectable Gastric Cancer Presented at ESMO Asia 2025

HONG KONG, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK) ("Akeso" or the "Company") announced that data from the Phase II study (COMPASSION-25) for its first-in-class PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody, cadonilimab, in combination with SOX regimen (oxaliplatin + tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil) as neoadjuvant therapy for resectable gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma, was presented at the 2025 ESMO Asia Congress.

Currently, Akeso is running the pivotal Phase III study (AK104-310/COMPASSION-33) investigating cadonilimab combined with the SOX regimen for perioperative treatment of resectable G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. This regimen is expected to further push the efficacy boundaries beyond existing single-target immunotherapies and establish a new standard for perioperative immunotherapy in gastric cancer.

Promising Pathologic Complete Response (pCR) Rate

Among all evaluable patients, the overall pCR rate was 28.6%. Notably, in patients receiving the cadonilimab Q3W dosing regimen, the pCR rate reached 50.0%. pCR, defined as the absence of viable tumor cells in both the primary tumor site and regional lymph nodes upon surgical resection, is considered the "gold standard" surrogate endpoint for evaluating neoadjuvant treatment efficacy and predicting long-term survival benefits.

High Rate of Major Pathologic Response (MPR)

The overall MPR rate (defined as ≤10% residual viable tumor cells) across all evaluable patients was 71.4%. For the cadonilimab Q3W regimen, the MPR rate was as high as 85.7%. This suggests that the cadonilimab-based regimen induces substantial tumor regression in the majority of patients.

100% R0 Resection Rate

All patients who underwent surgery achieved an R0 resection (microscopically margin-negative resection), providing a solid foundation for curative intent and potentially reducing the risk of recurrence.

Significant Tumor Downstaging

Among all evaluable patients, 85.7% achieved downstaging of the primary tumor (ypT), and 75.0% achieved nodal downstaging (ypN). These results confirm the efficacy of the cadonilimab regimen in reducing tumor burden and lowering the pathological stage, thereby improving the conditions for successful surgical intervention.

Manageable Safety Profile with Good Tolerability

Treatment-related adverse events were consistent with the known safety profiles of the SOX regimen and immune checkpoint inhibitors. No new or unexpected safety signals were observed, indicating an overall manageable and favorable safety profile.

In perioperative treatment of resectable G/GEJ adenocarcinoma, chemotherapy remains the standard therapy for locally advanced gastric cancer. However, chemotherapy has limited efficacy. Cadonilimab, the first PD-1/CTLA-4 bispecific antibody, works by synergistically activating the immune system, achieving a dual blockade of the tumor immune suppressive microenvironment. This mechanism provides a stronger anti-tumor effect compared to PD-1/L1 monotherapies.

Currently, cadonilimab's clinical value in gastric cancer is scientifically well-established. Beyond its ongoing phase III clinical trial in the perioperative setting, cadonilimab combined with chemotherapy as a first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer (with survival benefits across the PD-L1 expression levels) has been approved for commercialization in China. Additionally, a pivotal phase III trial exploring cadonilimab in combination with pulocimab (VEGFR-2) for immune therapy-resistant advanced gastric cancer is currently ongoing and is expected to offer a new therapeutic option for later-line gastric cancer. Collectively, these pivotal phase III studies will expand the use of cadonilimab, paving the way for a comprehensive gastric cancer treatment options that spans from advanced, unresectable gastric cancer to early-stage, resectable disease.

Significant Improvement in Quality of Life Reported in Updated HARMONi-6 Data for Ivonescimab at ESMO Asia

HONG KONG, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK) ("Akeso" or the "Company") announced that at the 2025 ESMO Asia Congress, updated results from the pivotal Phase III HARMONi-6 study (AK112-306) were shared in an oral presentation by Professor Shun Lu from Shanghai Chest Hospital. The study evaluates ivonescimab (a first-in-class PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibody) combined with chemotherapy versus tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy in first-line treatment for advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sq-NSCLC).

Beyond the previously reported efficacy data presented at the ESMO 2025 Presidential Symposium and simultaneously published in The Lancet, this presentation further disclosed patient-reported quality of life outcomes based on the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire.

Both prolonging survival and improving quality of life are core indicators for evaluating cancer treatments. The results published at 2025 ESMO Asia demonstrate that, compared to the tislelizumab-based regimen, treatment with ivonescimab plus chemotherapy not only significantly prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) but also offers better tolerability, enables higher treatment adherence, and provides patients to maintain better overall health status and quality of life over a longer period. These findings highlight the comprehensive clinical value of the ivonescimab regimen in delivering both survival and quality-of-life benefits for patients.

  • Quality of life (QoL) assessments from the HARMONi-6 study show that, compared with PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy, ivonescimab plus chemotherapy not only significantly prolongs progression-free survival (PFS) but also helps patients maintain better overall health status. Time to deterioration in "Global Health Status/Quality of Life" was meaningfully delayed in the ivonescimab arm (HR = 0.94), indicating a trend toward reduced risk of QoL worsening versus the control group.
  • The ivonescimab-based regimen met the primary PFS endpoint versus the tislelizumab-based regimen, delivering a decisive, strongly positive outcome with both statistical significance and clear clinical benefit. PFS was substantially prolonged with ivonescimab plus chemotherapy compared with tislelizumab plus chemotherapy.
  • The hazard ratio for PFS between the ivonescimab and tislelizumab arms was 0.60 (P < 0.0001), corresponding to an absolute PFS improvement (ΔPFS) of 4.24 months (11.14 months vs. 6.90 months). This benefit was consistent across all PD-L1 expression subgroups.

The HARMONi-6 study enrolled 532 patients with well-balanced baseline characteristics. Among these patients, 92.3% had stage IV disease at enrollment. The squamous histology profile of the patients reflected real-world patterns, with approximately 63% of patients exhibiting the central squamous subtype (66.9% in the ivonescimab arm vs. 59.4% in the control arm). PD-L1 expression levels were also aligned with clinical expectations.

The results from the HARMONi-6 study further validate the breakthrough clinical value of the ivonescimab-plus-chemotherapy regimen compared to PD-1-plus chemotherapy regimen. The ivonescimab-plus chemotherapy regimen addresses a critical clinical gap when anti-angiogenic agents such as bevacizumab demonstrated severe safety considerations in the treatment of sq-NSCLC. Since ivonescimab's initial approval in 2024, it has been evaluated in multiple clinical studies and used in real-world settings involving over 40,000 patients, where its transformative clinical benefits have been consistently demonstrated.

Across the immuno-oncology landscape, ivonescimab has shown clinical superiority to both PD-1 based treatments, which are currently the optimal standard of care for many cancers, and to also VEGF-targeted therapies in anti-angiogenesis based treatments.

In July 2025, based on the HARMONi-6 study results, the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for ivonescimab in combination with chemotherapy as first-line treatment for sq-NSCLC was accepted for review by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). Akeso's partner, Summit Therapeutics, is currently carrying out a global multicenter Phase III HARMONi-3 study, evaluating ivonescimab plus chemotherapy versus pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy as first-line therapy for advanced NSCLC (both squamous and non-squamous subtypes).

核心要點
研究背景
CML 是一種獲得性造血干細胞惡性克隆性疾病,TKI的出現使CML患者的治療徹底改觀但仍有相當比例的患者在治療中出現耐藥或因安全性不耐受停藥,進而面臨更為嚴重的後果。因此,許多對一代二代TKI 均耐藥/不耐受的CML 患者,目前仍缺乏有效的治療選擇,且該類患者有著明確病情進展的風險。奧雷巴替尼是一種強效的第三代BCR-ABL酪氨酸激酶抑制劑,對攜帶野生型BCR-ABL的CML和攜帶BCR-ABL-T315I突變(可導致對於伊馬替尼和第二代TKI耐藥)的CML患者均有較強療效,且安全性良好。

研究介紹

  • 該研究(NCT04126681)是一項開放性、隨機對照、多中心的關鍵註冊II期臨床研究,旨在評估奧雷巴替尼在對一代和二代TKI均耐藥和/或不耐受的CML-CP患者中的療效和安全性。本報告為一項2023ASH年會口頭報告的研究更新數據。截至2025年1月13日,共有144例CML-CP患者入組,其中105例為不伴T315I突變患者。
  • 在本研究中,患者被按照2:1 比例隨機分組進入奧雷巴替尼治療組和研究者決定的BAT對照組。
  • 主要終點為無事件生存期(EFS)。事件的定義為:疾病進展、達到又消失的完全血液學緩解(CHR)、主要細胞遺傳學反應、完全細胞遺傳學反應(CCyR);治療失敗;3個治療週期內未達CHR;任何原因導致的死亡;不可接受的藥物毒性。

療效數據

  • 奧雷巴替尼治療組的中位EFS顯著長於BAT治療組:在所有CMP-CP患者中,奧雷巴替尼治療組和BAT治療組的中位EFS分別為21.2個月和2.9個月(P < 0.0001);在不伴T315I突變CML-CP患者中,奧雷巴替尼治療組和BAT治療組的中位EFS分別為11.9 和3.1個月(P = 0.0159)。
  • 奧雷巴替尼治療組的其他療效指標顯著高於BAT治療組:在所有CML-CP患者中,奧雷巴替尼治療組和BAT治療組的CHR率分別為85% 和35%, CCyR率分別為38%和19%,主要分子學反應(MMR)率分別為30%和8%;在不伴T315I突變CML-CP患者中,CHR率分別為82% 和50%,CCyR率分別為26%和21%,MMR率分別為16%和10%。

安全性數據:奧雷巴替尼治療組在伴或不伴T315I突變的CML-CP患者中均展示出良好的安全性,且未觀察到新的安全性信號。≥3級不良事件主要為血液毒性。值得一提的是,奧雷巴替尼治療組的血管閉塞事件發生率為7%。

結論:奧雷巴替尼在治療對一代和二代TKI均耐藥和/或不耐受的CML-CP受試者,包括不伴T315I突變CML-CP患者時,較BAT治療組展示出明顯治療優勢。

核心要點

研究背景

BCR-ABL1 酪氨酸激酶抑制劑(TKI)顯著改善了慢性髓性白血病(CML)患者的預後,但仍有部分患者在TKI治療過程中出現耐藥或不耐受。既往研究顯示,接受伊馬替尼治療的CML患者中,1 年內20%~30%患者發生耐藥或者不耐受,接受第二代TKI達沙替尼或尼洛替尼一線治療的CML 患者中,1年內均有超過10% 患者發生耐藥或者不耐受。因此,在我國對一種TKI耐藥或者不耐受的CML-CP 患者的治療是一個亟需解決的問題。

研究介紹

該研究(ChiCTR2200061655)是一項開放性、單臂、多中心臨床研究,旨在評估隔日口服40mg奧雷巴替尼在既往使用過一種TKI治療後耐藥或不耐受(包括伊馬替尼、氟馬替尼、尼洛替尼及達沙替尼等)的非T315I突變CP-CML中國患者中的療效和安全性。截至2025年7月24日,共入組非T315I 突變的CP-CML 患者47例。

療效數據

  • 截至2025年7月24日,39例(83.0%)患者接受了至少1次療效評估,36例(76.6%)接受了至少2次療效評估,34例(72.3%)接受了至少3次療效評估。2例患者尚未進行首次療效評估。
  • 至截止日期,71.8%(28/39)的患者獲CCyR,43.6%(17/39)獲MMR。第6、9、12、15、18、21、24個週期評估的CCyR率和MMR率分別為54.3%和25.7%、66.7%和33.3%、74.2%和35.5%、84.6%和46.2%、85.7% 和 47.6%、90.0% 和 60.0%、89.5% 和 57.9%。提示療效隨用藥時間延長而逐漸加深。
  • 在39例療效可評估的患者中,有30例患者既往以二代TKI作為一線治療,其中76.7%(23/30)獲得CCyR,43.3%(13/30)獲得MMR;在既往接受伊馬替尼治療的9例患者中,55.6%(5/9)獲得CCyR,44.4%(4/9)獲得MMR。

安全性數據:中位(區間)治療時間16.0(1-18)個週期。共有42例(89.4%)患者發生了任何級別的治療相關不良事件(TRAEs),其中21例(44.7%)發生了≥3級TRAEs,6例(12.8%)發生了與奧雷巴替尼相關的嚴重不良事件(SAEs)。≥3級血液學不良反應包括血小板減少(42.6%)、中性粒細胞減少(25.5%)和貧血(8.5%)。奧雷巴替尼相關SAEs包括血小板計數減少(6.4%)、貧血、骨髓抑制和發熱(各2.1%)。無死亡報告。

結論:奧雷巴替尼可能為二線CP-CML患者提供一種安全有效的治療選擇,尤其是對於一線使用二代 TKIs治療失敗的患者。
