Hong Kong approves China’s first CAR-T therapy, Fucaso, for advanced multiple myeloma patients.
Hong Kong’s Department of Health has approved IASO Bio’s Fucaso (Equecabtagene Autoleucel), a China-developed anti-BCMA CAR-T therapy, for adult multiple myeloma patients who have failed at least three prior treatments.
This marks the first approval of a China-origin CAR-T therapy in Hong Kong and the first Chinese ATMP to receive PIC/S GMP recognition following a Hong Kong inspection.
The approval used Hong Kong’s “1+” pathway, building on prior mainland China approval and data from the FUMANBA-1 trial.
Fucaso has been available in Hong Kong since November 2024 via a named patient program, with plans to expand globally under IASO Bio’s “Manufactured in Nanjing, Supplied Globally” model.
