This announcement is made by Shanghai Junshi Biosciences Co., Ltd.* (上海君實生物醫藥科技股 份有限公司) (the "Company") on a voluntary basis.

The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of the Company is pleased to announce that a Phase III clinical study (JUPITER-02 study) of Tuoyi* (generic name: Toripalimab injection) combined with chemotherapy as a first-line treatment in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer has completed the enrollment of 280 patients of the study design.

The JUPITER-02 (NCT03581786) is a randomized, placebo-controlled,double-blind and multi-center Phase III clinical study conducted in the Asia-Pacific region to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab injection combined with Gemcitabine/cisplatin as a first-line treatment in patients with recurrent or metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer. It is also the first randomized controlled pivotal registrational clinical trial of anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody for the treatment of nasopharyngeal cancer that has been established and has achieved the enrollment goal of the study design globally. As of the date of this announcement, the enrollment of 280 patients of the study design was completed.

ABOUT TUOYI* (TORIPALIMAB INJECTION)

Tuoyi*, as the first domestic anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody that has obtained marketing approval, received support from the National Science and Technology Major Project. The clinical investigation and research of Toripalimab injection has commenced since the beginning of 2016. So far, more than 30 clinical studies covering more than ten indications have been carried out in the PRC, the United States and other countries. In March 2018, the National Medical Products Administration of the PRC officially accepted the application for marketing approval of Toripalimab injection, and included it in the priority review and approval category to speed up the review and approval. The results of the pivotal registrational clinical trials for which Toripalimab injection has been approved for marketing indications show that the objective response rate (ORR) for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma after failure of systemic treatment is 17.3%, the disease control rate (DCR) is 57.5%, and the one-year survival rate is up to 69.3%. The Company considers that the marketing approval of Toripalimab injection has positive effect in solving the clinical drug selection problem of cancer patients in the PRC.
