Icotinib
Icotinib, approved in 2011, was the first cancer drug invented and developed in China, and it showed that a domestic lung cancer pill could match a Western one head to head.
Overview
Betta Pharmaceuticals' icotinib was approved by the then SFDA in June 2011 for advanced NSCLC after chemotherapy, on the ICOGEN trial that showed non-inferiority to gefitinib (Lancet Oncology 2013). First-line EGFR-mutant approval followed in 2014, and the EVIDENCE trial (Lancet Respiratory Medicine 2021) supported adjuvant use after resection of stage II to IIIA EGFR-mutant disease. It was the first drug in the 2016 pilot of national price negotiation, taking a large cut to enter reimbursement, the template for the later NRDL rounds.
