KEY 30 This pipeline describes investigational assets as of January 11, 2023. The safety and efficacy of these investigational asset s h ave not been established, except where indicated (in China) (1) An MAA for EGFR - mutated NSCLC is currently under review by the MHRA; another MAA for EGFR - mutated NSCLC is also currently under review by the EMA. (2) An MAA for Stage IV NSCLC is currently under review by the MHRA. We plan to submit an MAA to the EMA for Stage IV NSCLC in 2023. (3) We do not expect to pursue regulatory approval for sugemalimab in combination with chemotherapy for Stage IV NSCLC in the Un ited States. Sugemalimab was granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the U.S. FDA for ENKTL in 2020.
