  • The NMPA had formally accepted the NDA submitted by Junshi Biosciences for Toripalimab in combination with Chemo as a perioperative treatment and Toripalimab monotherapy as a consolidation therapy after adjuvant therapy to treat Stage 3 NSCLC

  • The comprehensive data will be disclosed internationally for the first time in an oral presentation at the ASCO Plenary Series on April 20, 2023
