However, the current market adjustment appears excessive, with leading companies like Kangfang Biotech, Zai Lab, and Kelun-Biotech experiencing declines exceeding 30% [2] - Zai Lab's recent performance has been impacted by two public announcements: disappointing clinical data for its gastric cancer drug Bemarituzumab and a Q3 report showing total revenue of $116 million, a 14% year-on-year increase, but a net loss of $35.96 million, which is a narrowing of losses compared to the previous year. Revenue growth was primarily driven by sales of "Nusinersan" and "Dingyoule," offset by a slowdown in "Zele" sales [2] Short-term Outlook - In the short term, the innovative drug industry is undergoing emotional recovery and valuation reconstruction, with stock volatility heavily influenced by clinical data and earnings guidance.

In the first half of the year, both revenue and net profit saw declines of 16.97% and 25.82%, respectively, attributed to a decrease in CRO service income and a 45.8% drop in sales of proprietary drugs [5] Clinical Trial Updates - From November 3 to November 7, the National Medical Products Administration disclosed 110 new clinical trial registrations, with 33 of these being innovative drugs in Phase II or above, primarily covering oncology, immunology, cardiovascular, and psychiatric fields [6] - Four innovative drugs were approved during the week [7] Notable Approvals - The first CAR-T therapy in China, Pucalunase injection (pCAR-19B), was approved for treating pediatric acute B lymphoblastic leukemia patients aged 3 to 21.
