International and Regional Experts Focus on RSV Prevention at Pfizer MERA Maternal Immunization Summit: Born Ready
The Pfizer Middle East, Russia and Africa (MERA) Maternal Immunization Summit: Born Ready brought together more than 80 medical experts, physicians, and healthcare professionals together in Cairo, Egypt to share insights on the latest efforts to prevent RSV in newborns
The summit highlighted the critical role of maternal vaccinations in the successful prevention of RSV and shed light on global best practices for such vaccination programs.
DUBAI, UAE, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 80 international and regional healthcare experts have convened at the Pfizer MERA Maternal Immunization Summit: Born Ready to discuss issues pertaining to maternal immunization. The summit, entitled 'RISE: Respiratory Immunization Summit for Excellence' and, held from 16-17 May 2025 in Cairo, Egypt, focused on the growing burden of neonatal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and the role of maternal vaccination in its successful prevention.
The summit aimed to increase awareness of the virus and its impact, in addition to the importance of maternal immunization in preventing RSV and protecting newborns. Experts addressed the challenges and barriers to the adoption of maternal immunization, shared best practices, and explored how healthcare providers can more effectively implement maternal immunization programs in the region.
Professor Irene Cetin, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Milan and Head of Obstetrics, Mangiagalli Policlinico Hospital Fondazione IRCCS Cà Granda, Milan, Italy, said: "Maternal immunization leverages the natural pregnancy process whereby antibodies – disease-fighting molecules – pass naturally from mother to baby through the placenta, starting in the second trimester and peaking during the third. Maternal antibodies help protect infants at birth and during the first few months of life, before they are eligible to receive vaccinations themselves."
The administration of a vaccine to an expectant mother activates the maternal immune system, triggering the production of immunoglobin G (IgG) antibodies, which pass through the placenta from the parental bloodstream.
Professor Mohamed Momtaz, Emeritus Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kasr Al Ainy Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt, said: "Because of the way the placenta pumps antibodies into the fetus during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, fetal IgG concentration usually exceeds the concentration of antibodies in the maternal circulation in full-term infants, meaning the baby is better protected from infectious diseases than the mother. This highlights the tremendous potential of maternal immunization to help prevent transmission of communicable diseases and reduce the impact of infections such as RSV. Furthermore, events like this summit encourage evidence-based conversations between healthcare providers and expectant mothers, while also highlighting practical approaches to communication and appropriate data sharing."
According to the World Health Organization, RSV – a seasonal virus that leads to infections of the lungs and respiratory tract – is the most common cause of acute lower respiratory infections in children globally[i], responsible for an estimated 33 million such infections, more than three million hospitalizations and almost 60,000 deaths per year in children under 5 years of age[ii]. This trend is reflected regionally, where RSV infections are the leading cause of acute respiratory tract infections in young children, typically peaking during the winter months or the rainy season in humid countries.
Professor Hossam Al Tatari, Director of General Pediatrics and Pediatric Infectious Diseases Services at The Heart Medical Center, Al Ain, UAE said: "RSV infection is very common, affecting almost all children within two years from birth. In adults and older, healthy children, RSV typically produces mild symptoms that mimic the common cold, but in the newborn babies below 6 months, and those otherwise immunocompromised, such as babies born prematurely, the infection can prove life-threatening. It is imperative that we explore every possible avenue to mitigate the risks associated with RSV, and take every step to prevent transmission, especially to the most vulnerable amongst us."
Highlighting the benefits of maternal immunization to newborns and immunocompromised infants, Dr Hammam Haridy, Senior Director Regional Medical & Scientific Affairs at Pfizer MERA said: "Infections such as RSV, while potentially dangerous, are preventable with vaccination. Despite the significant impact of RSV in the region and across the globe, comprehensive and consistent region-wide surveillance and burden data across the Middle East and North Africa region are currently limited. Forums such as the Maternal Immunization Summit are therefore crucial to drive buy-in of healthcare providers in order to increase awareness and tackle vaccine hesitancy. By providing a platform via which stakeholders can connect and share data and insights, we can drive the conversation around maternal vaccination, ensuring we make best use of available data in our interactions."
Both the World Health Organization and the Strategic Group of Experts on Immunization recommend countries adopt measures to prevent severe RSV in infants[iii], with decisions on whether to use maternal immunization or monoclonal antibodies dependent upon a number of factors.
Emphasizing the need for collaboration between the medical community and vaccine developers to ensure maximum success in prevention, Merih Cetinkaya, Professor of Pediatrics, Health Sciences University and Head of Neonatology at Basaksehir Cam Sakura, City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey, said: "Communicable diseases such as RSV have considerable impact on neonatal health, affecting both our populations and our healthcare systems, and vaccinations remain a cornerstone in lessening this impact. As healthcare providers, we share responsibility with stakeholders across the healthcare landscape to understand such diseases, to leverage innovation and technology, and to ensure equitable access to life-saving vaccines, especially for the most vulnerable members of our communities."
During the event, Pfizer underscored its ongoing commitment to shaping the future of public health through the power of vaccines. Over the years, Pfizer's vaccines have played a vital role in preventing, controlling, and in some cases nearly eradicating infectious diseases, safeguarding millions of lives around the world and across the MERA region.

2025 ASCO ｜Oral Presentation: Disitamab Vedotin Achieves Stellar Efficacy as First-Line Therapy for HER2-Expressing Locally Advanced or Metastatic Gastric Cancer
YANTAI, China, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On June 2 (Chicago time), in an oral presentation at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting, Dr. Lin Shen from Beijing Cancer Hospital presented the results of a Phase 2 clinical study conducted in China evaluating the efficacy and safety of disitamab vedotin (DV), developed by Remegen Co., Ltd., and toripalimab (PD-1) combined with CAPOX or trastuzumab as the first-line therapy for HER2-expressing patients with locally advanced or metastatic (la/m) gastric cancer. Comparing to the control group who received standard-of-care therapy, the DV combination therapy demonstrated clinically meaningful efficacy improvement, potentially to benefit patients who are non-responders to traditional targeted therapies. The data presented are from the Phase 2 part of a randomized, multi-cohort, seamlessly connecting Phase 2/3 study, which enrolled systematic chemotherapy-native patients with different HER2 expression levels. As of April 7, 2025, the results showed: Among HER2-overexpressing gastric cancer patients, compared to the PD-1-trastuzumab-CAPOX combination therapy, DV and PD-1 + chemotherapy as well as DV and PD-1 + trastuzumab both demonstrated statistically significant efficacy and favorable safety profiles. Objective response rate (ORR): 66.7% vs 82.4% vs 68.8%; Median progression-free survival (mPFS): NR vs NR vs 14.1 months, with risk of disease progression decreasing by 54%（HR=0.46）and 41% (HR: 0.59); 12-month PFS rate: 66.3%, 67% and 53.6%； Common TRAEs of grade 3-5: diarrhea, neutrophil count decreased, platelet count decreased, etc. In patients with HER2-low-expressing gastric cancer, promising efficacy was observed with DV + PD-1 + CAPOX comparing to PD-1 + CAPOX, with a manageable safety profile. ORR: 72.0% vs 47.8%; mPFS: 9.9 vs 7.2 months, with risk of disease progression decreasing by 31% (HR: 0.69); Common TRAEs of grade 3-5: diarrhea, neutrophil count decreased, platelet count decreased, etc. Dose optimization conducted in patients with HER2-median/low-expressing gastric cancer. Compared to PD-1 + CAPOX, DV at 2.5 mg/kg or 2.0 mg/kg combined with PD-1 + reduced-dose CAPOX showed significant efficacy, and better safety over the full-dose chemotherapy. ORR: 71.4% vs 66.7% vs 56.3%; 6-month PFS rate: 71.4%，72.7% and 53.3%. Globally, this is the first study to explore the triple combination therapy of "HER2 ADC + PD-1 + targeted medication" as first-line treatment of patients with la/m gastric cancer, pioneering a new mode of synergistic therapy. The multi-cohort design of this study provides precision treatment regimen for gastric cancer patients with different level of HER2 expression. For the HER2-overexpressing gastric cancer patients, DV + PD-1 + trastuzumab has the potential to become the new standard first-line treatment; for the HER2-low-expressing gastric cancer patients, DV + PD-1 + chemotherapy has the potential to fill the treatment gap of these patients. Based on the data obtained from the phase 2 study, the phase 3 clinical study of the triple combination therapy in patients with HER2-median/low-expressing gastric cancer has been initiated in April, 2025, in which 616 participants were planned to be enrolled, to further validate the efficacy of the DV combination therapy. Gastric cancer is the fifth most common malignant tumor in the world, and China accounts for about 42.6% of new cases and 45.0% of deaths worldwide. HER2 is an important target in the treatment of gastric cancer, while the traditional targeted drug trastuzumab is only effective in the population with high expression (IHC 3+ or IHC 2+/FISH+), and can easily become resistant. There is a lack of effective targeted therapy options for patients with low/median HER2 expression (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/FISH-), and the efficacy of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy is not satisfactory. As the first domestic HER2-targeted ADC drug in China, DV not only precisely kills tumor cells with HER2 over expression but also attacks adjacent cells with HER2 low expression through the bystander effect. Preclinical studies have also shown that the combination of DV with PD-1 inhibitor and trastuzumab can enhance anti-tumor activity.

IBI354 has demonstrated promising anti-tumor efficacy and favorable safety profiles across multiple solid tumors. It not only holds potential to deliver a new generation of ADC therapies characterized by "high potency and low-toxicity" for tumor types such as ovarian cancer and breast cancer, but also validates the advantages of Innovent's ADC technology platform. The results of IBI354 lays the foundation for the subsequent development of Innovent's next-generation of bispecific ADCs and dual-payload ADCs, marking a milestone in Innovent's next-generation "IO+ADC" oncology development strategy. The data presented is from a Phase 1/2 clinical study (NCT05636215) aimed at evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of IBI354 in participants with advanced solid tumors. As of March 24, 2025, a total of 368 participants with advanced solid tumors were enrolled and received different doses of IBI354 monotherapy, the median follow-up duration was 11.5 months (range: 0.7-19.6), the median treatment duration was 27.0 weeks (range: 3.1-81.3) and 74 (20.1%) pts were still on treatment. The tumor types including 178 with breast cancer, 92 with ovarian cancer, 38 with colorectal cancer, and 60 with other tumors. IBI354 monotherapy demonstrated excellent safety profile The dosage was escalated to 18mg/kg, with no DLT events observed. The most common treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were anemia, nausea, and white blood cell count decreased. The incidence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) was only 1.9%, all were grade 1-2. Overall, 27.4% of patients experienced TRAEs ≥ grade 3, 17.7% experienced TRAEs leading to dose interruption, 2.7% experienced TRAEs leading to dose reduction and 1.6% experienced TRAEs leading to discontinuation, with no TRAEs leading to death. IBI354 monotherapy showed promising efficacy signals in multiple tumor types In HER2-positive breast cancer cohort (n= 88, treated at 6~15mg/kg, the median prior treatment lines was 4), the confirmed objective response rate (ORR) and the disease control rate (DCR) were 59.1% and 90.9%, respectively. In 9 mg/kg Q3W subgroup (n=29), the ORR and the DCR were 72.4% and 89.7%, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 14.1 months (95% CI: 8.3-not calculable [NC]) with events of 48.3%. The median overall survival (OS) was immature with events of 3.4%. In ovarian cancer cohort (n=92, treated at 2~12mg/kg, the median prior treatment lines was 3), the cORR was 41.2% and the DCR was 82.0%. In the 12mg/kg Q3W subgroup (n=40), the cORR reached 55.0% and the DCR was 90.0%. In participants with HER2 1+ (n=27), the ORR reached 55.6% and the DCR was 88.9%. As of the data cutoff date, the median follow-up time was 11.9 months, and the median PFS was 7.1 months (95% CI: 5.2−10.8) in 12mg/kg Q3W dose group. The median OS was not mature with events in 14 (34.1%) pts and a 12-month OS rate of 63.9% (95% CI: 45.0−77.8). Professor Qi Zhou, Chief Physician at the Gynecologic Oncology Center of Chongqing University Affiliated Cancer Hospital and the Principal Investigator of the gynecologic oncology cohort study, stated, "The treatment of platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer is difficult and the prognosis is poor, threatening the life and health of women. Extending PFS and OS in platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer patients remains a clinical challenge for gynecological oncologists. ADC drugs provide a new direction for overcoming resistance mechanisms by precisely delivering cytotoxic agents. HER2, as a validated solid tumor target, has made breakthroughs in breast and gastric cancer fields, while the novel ADC drug IBI354 shows broad-spectrum antitumor activity through unique design in HER2 low-expression (IHC 1+) platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. In the Phase 1 study with a dose of 12mg/kg Q3W, IBI354 demonstrated an ORR of 55.0% and DCR of 90.0%, with a median PFS reaching 7.1 months. The safety profile was very good without common severe interstitial lung disease or ocular toxicity seen in other ADCs. These results significantly outperform traditional chemotherapy regimens, suggesting its potential breakthrough efficacy in the platinum-resistant population. The Phase 3 study of IBI354 in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (HeriCare-Ovarian01) has been initiated, and I am looking forward to the results, as well as the further validation of the long-term benefits for patients receiving IBI354." Doctor Charlotte Rose Lemech from Scientia Clinical Research Ltd, Australia, stated: "Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women globally and remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The amplification or overexpression of HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) is recognized as a key driver in the development, progression, and metastasis of breast cancer, with approximately 15%-20% of breast cancer patients exhibiting HER2 overexpression. ADCs have become the new standard treatment for later line HER2 positive breast cancer. In this Phase 1 study, IBI354 has demonstrated encouraging efficacy and safety data, achieving high ORR and DCR especially in 9 mg/kg Q3W subgroup. Long term survival was also achieved with the median PFS of 14.1 months. IBI354 also differentiates itself from other HER2 targeted therapies with its safety profile. The incidence of interstitial lung disease was extremely low and most of the hematological toxicity and gastrointestinal adverse events were mild to moderate and can be effectively managed with standard supportive care. This favorable safety profile enhances the clinical application potential of IBI354 and we look forward to IBI354 achieving more breakthroughs in the field of breast cancer treatment." Dr. Hui Zhou, Senior Vice President of Innovent, stated: "With the rapid development of ADC drugs in the field of tumor treatment, Innovent is steadily advancing its strategic layout in the ADC field. At this year's ASCO conference, we update the safety and efficacy data of IBI354 across various advanced solid tumors. These clinical results not only confirm the potential therapeutic value of IBI354 but also demonstrating Innovent's innovative strength and technological advantages in ADC drug development.
