2018年5月，基石药业成功完成约2.62亿美元B轮融资，打破当时中国生物医药领域史上最大单笔B轮融资纪录。目前，基石药业肿瘤管线中已有8个候选药物处于临床阶段，包括4款处于或接近关键性试验阶段的候选药物。其中，公司自主开发的中国第一个全人源全长抗PD-L1单克隆抗体CS1001正处于III期临床试验阶段，有望成为中国上市的国内首批本土开发的PD-L1抗癌药物之一。2018年6月，基石药业先后与Blueprint Medicine和Agios达成独家合作和大中华区授权许可协议，引入四个完成临床概念验证阶段的产品，包括2018年7月获得美国FDA批准上市的ivosidenib，以及已进入全球III期临床试验，预计将于2019年上半年提交美国上市许可申请的avapritinib。
江宁军博士对此表示：“很高兴看到谢毅钊博士带着丰富的全球肿瘤研发经验加入我们，谢博士在衔接临床前和早期临床阶段的丰富经验，有助提高公司管线药物开发的整体成功率。作为基石药业的首席转化医学官，他的领导力、专业能力以及广泛的资源，对于公司实现在中国以及全球肿瘤领域开发创新药物的目标至关重要。”

谢毅钊博士拥有美国南加州大学医学博士及生物化学与分子生物学博士学位。
谢毅钊博士表示：“基石药业建立强大丰富肿瘤药物管线的能力和临床开发方面的速度令人兴奋。我很荣幸加入这家潜力巨大的公司，并得以与经验丰富的管理团队合作，一起推动公司发展，让中国乃至全球的癌症患者受益。”

Dr. Tse's Extensive Track Record in Oncology Early Clinical Development Will Strengthen CStone's Core Competence as a Clinical Development Engine and Solidify CStone's Position among Leading Innovative Biopharma Companies in China
SUZHOU, China, December 10, 2018 – CStone Pharmaceuticals, a biopharma company focused on developing and commercializing innovative immuno-oncology and molecularly targeted drugs, announced today the appointment of Archie Tse, M.D., Ph.D., as the newly established Senior Vice President, Chief Translational Medicine Officer (CTMO), reporting to Frank Jiang, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Tse has over 20 years of global oncology research and clinical development experience and will provide a strong addition to CStone’s senior leadership team.
In this role, Dr. Tse will be responsible for the development of assets at the early clinical development stage up to proof of concept (POC). He will oversee the development and implementation of clinical biomarkers to support progression of CStone’s pipelines. His in-depth understanding of the global oncology space will help further strengthen CStone’s core competence and solidify CStone’s position among leading innovative biopharma companies in China.  
In May 2018, CStone successfully completed a USD 262 million financing round, which was the largest Series B funding in the history of China biopharma industry at the time. Currently, CStone has eight clinical stage assets with four at or near registration trial. CS1001, China’s first fully human, full-length anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody developed by CStone, has initiated Phase III clinical studies, and will potentially become one of the first locally-developed anti-PD-L1 cancer drugs launched in China. In June 2018, CStone announced exclusive collaboration and license agreements with Blueprint Medicine and Agios. With these two deals, CStone in-licensed four post proof of concept assets, including ivosidenib, which received US FDA approval in July 2018, and avapritinib, which has entered global Phase III clinical studies and expects to file a US marketing application in H1 2019.
“We are thrilled to have Dr. Tse join the team and bring his profound global oncology research and clinical development experience,” said Frank Jiang, M.D., Ph.D., “Archie is highly experienced in bridging preclinical and early clinical phases to improve overall success of drug development. As CStone’s CTMO, his leadership, expertise and extensive network are critical in helping us advance toward our goal of developing innovative drugs in China and global oncology space.”    
Prior to joining CStone, Dr. Tse was the Executive Director of Global Oncology Early Development at Merck (known as MSD outside of US and Canada).  Before that, Dr. Tse served as the leader of the Oncology Team of Excellence for Strategy in Therapeutic Area at Daiichi-Sankyo. Dr. Tse is a board-certified medical oncologist trained at the US Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) where he stayed on to become a faculty as Assistant Physician and Assistant Member. In that period, he was also an Assistant Professor at the MSKCC affiliated Weill Cornell Medical School.
Dr. Tse obtained his M.D. and Ph.D. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology from the University of Southern California, United States.
“I am very impressed by CStone’s remarkably rapid progress in the establishment and clinical development of its broad oncology portfolio,” Dr. Tse said. “It is a great honor for me to join this promising company and work with its seasoned management team to drive the Company’s growth for the benefit of cancer patients in China and worldwide.”
