China approves first homegrown drug, Pegbing, for functional cure of chronic hepatitis B.
China has approved Pegbing, a homegrown injectable drug by Amoytop Biotech, as the world’s first treatment targeting a functional cure for chronic hepatitis B, the National Medical Products Administration said.
Designed to be used with antiviral therapy, it enables sustained clearance of the hepatitis B surface antigen after treatment ends, a key step toward long-term remission without lifelong medication.
The move marks a major milestone in global hepatitis B efforts, with the disease affecting 254 million people worldwide and causing over a million deaths annually, including 75 million cases in China.
The approval highlights China’s rising role in biomedical innovation.
