According to the abstract, this Phase III, randomized, double-blind study evaluated the efficacy and safety of telitacicept 160 mg group versus the placebo group in RA patients with inadequate responses to MTX. The study met all its primary endpoints and showed comparable safety profile of telitacicept group vs. control group.

The invitation to present at ACR Convergence 2023 follows a recent announcement that the Company’s cutting-edge drug telitacicept (RC18) obtained positive results in a Phase III clinical study in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in China. Telitacicept is an innovative B-cell lymphocyte stimulator/proliferation inducing ligand(BLyS/APRIL) dual-target fusion protein drug independently developed by RemeGen that can prevent abnormal differentiation of B cells by simultaneously inhibiting the overexpression of two cytokines, BLyS and APRIL, thereby treating a variety of immunology diseases mediated by B cells.

About Telitacicept (RC18)
Telitacicept (RC18, Brand Name: 泰爱®) is RemeGen’s proprietary novel fusion protein for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. It is constructed with the extracellular domain of the human transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor (TACI) receptor and the fragment crystallizable (Fc) domain of human immunoglobulin G(IgG). Telitacicept targets two cell-signaling molecules critical for B-lymphocyte development: B-cell lymphocyte stimulator(BLyS) and a proliferation inducing ligand (APRIL), which allows it to effectively reduce B-cell mediated autoimmune responses that are implicated in several autoimmune diseases. It was granted conditional marketing approval by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in March 2021.
