TSY-110 is positioned to become the first biosimilar alternative to Roche’s Kadcyla\u00ae<\/sup> (ado-trastuzumab emtansine) in major regulated markets.<\/i><\/p>\n

TAIPEI<\/span>, Aug. 28, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Formosa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (TWSE: 6838), today announced the submission of a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) to European regulatory authorities to conduct a pivotal clinical trial for TSY-110<\/b>. TSY-110 is a biosimilar candidate referencing Roche’s antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) Kadcyla\u00ae<\/sup> (ado-trastuzumab emtansine), indicated for HER2-positive metastatic and early-stage breast cancer.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Designed following regulatory guidance from both US and EU authorities, the upcoming trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity profile of TSY-110 compared with the reference product. This milestone advances Formosa Pharmaceuticals’ and EirGenix’s shared goal of providing cost-effective biosimilar ADC treatments to patients across regulated global markets.<\/p>\n

“Filing this CTA marks a significant achievement for Formosa Pharmaceuticals and underscores our strategic alliance with EirGenix,” said Erick Co, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Formosa Pharmaceuticals<\/b>. “Antibody-drug conjugates have established themselves as mainstays in oncology, including HER2-positive breast cancer care, but patient access remains constrained by high treatment costs. Advancing TSY-110 into clinical evaluation is a momentous step toward fulfilling our goal of delivering world-class, accessible\u00a0ADC options to oncologists and patients.”<\/p>\n

About TSY-110<\/b><\/p>\n

TSY-110, also designated as EG12043, is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) biosimilar co-developed by Formosa Pharmaceuticals and EirGenix, Inc. (TWSE: 6589). The conjugate links HER2 monoclonal antibody,\u00a0trastuzumab, with a cytotoxic payload (mertansine) to selectively eradicate HER2-overexpressing cancer cells while minimizing systemic toxicity. Comprehensive preclinical assessments demonstrate high biosimilarity, drug-antibody ratio (DAR) consistency, and comparable plasma kinetics to the reference product.<\/p>\n

About HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Market<\/b><\/p>\n

HER2-positive breast cancer accounts for a significant portion of all breast cancer diagnoses globally.\u00a0Approximately 2.4 million breast cancer cases were diagnosed in 2024, with HER2+ disease affecting roughly 360,000 to 480,000 of these patients based on the standard 15\u201320% prevalence rate.\u00a0HER2-targeted therapies continue to be a prominent tool in modern oncological care.\u00a0Kadcyla\u00ae<\/sup>, approved by the FDA in 2013, generated approximately $2.5 billion in global sales in 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n
