China Insurance Association Completes Drug Selection for Commercial Insurance List; NHSA to Expand Innovative

The China Insurance Association, under the National Financial Regulatory Administration, has completed preliminary drug selection for its commercial insurance drug list, which is pending release. The list differs from the NHSA's commercial insurance innovative drug list and is for pure commercial health insurance. In 2026, the NHSA will expand its innovative drug list for the first time, requiring drugs with strong insurance suitability. Submissions for the NHSA list in 2026 are less than half of 2025. The first NHSA list faced challenges in Huiminbao products, including incomplete discount channels. Alzheimer's drugs lecanemab and donanemab entered national medical insurance in 2026 and are in multiple Huiminbao products. The China Insurance Association is also developing a drug guarantee list to standardize commercial insurance drug lists.

Henlius Serplulimab First to Show Positive Post-Surgery Chemo-Free Result in Gastric Cancer at ASCO

At the 2026 ASCO annual meeting, Peking University Cancer Hospital's Professor Shen Lin presented the ASTRUM-006 phase III study, showing that Henlius' serplulimab achieved the first global positive result for a post-surgery chemotherapy-free regimen in perioperative gastric cancer. The trial involved 57 centers and 588 patients, with a design of three cycles of preoperative chemo-immunotherapy followed by up to 17 cycles of immunotherapy alone. The study met its primary endpoint of event-free survival at the interim analysis in October 2025. Nearly half of gastric cancer patients worldwide are in China, and the Western triple chemotherapy regimen is applicable to less than 10% of East Asian populations. Over the past 30 years, the five-year survival rate for gastric cancer has improved from about 20% to 40-50%.
