**Hard Data: Up to 86% Efficacy in Patients with Brain Metastases**

At the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting, global phase 1a/1b clinical study data for ZL-1310 were presented.

For previously treated patients (second-line treatment):

- Unconfirmed objective response rate (uORR) reached 67%, with a disease control rate (DCR) of 97%.

- In the optimal biological dose group (1.6 mg/kg): Objective response rate (ORR) soared to 79%, with a disease control rate (DCR) of 100%.

- This means: Nearly all 10 patients receiving this dose achieved tumor control, and nearly 8 patients experienced significant tumor shrinkage.

For the most challenging patients with brain metastases:

- Patients with baseline brain metastases: Objective response rate (ORR) was 68%.

- Patients who had never received cranial radiotherapy: Objective response rate (ORR) was as high as 86%!

This data is groundbreaking. Traditional chemotherapy drugs struggle to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, yet ZL-1310 demonstrates robust anti-tumor activity intracranially. For international patients concerned about the side effects of whole-brain radiotherapy, this represents a significant hope of “avoiding brain radiation.”

 

**Safety Profile:** In the <2.0 mg/kg dose group, the incidence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of grade 3 or higher was only 6%, with no treatment-related interstitial lung disease (ILD) or treatment discontinuation events reported.
