FDA Clears Expanded Access for HanchorBio's HCB101, a First for SIRPα-Fc Class
Taipei – September 12, 2026 -- HanchorBio Inc. (TWSE: 7827) said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared its HCB101 Single-Patient Expanded Access Protocol (HCB101-EA-001) as "safe to proceed," allowing a Phase 1 patient who showed clinical benefit to continue receiving the investigational drug beyond the parent trial.
FDA authorizes continued treatment for a single Phase 1 patient
The clearance permits the patient to keep receiving HCB101 outside the standard clinical trial structure under the FDA's Expanded Access, or compassionate use, framework. The agency's review weighed the patient's clinical circumstances, including whether the potential benefit justified the risks given the severity of the disease. HanchorBio noted the determination applies only to this individual-patient protocol and does not constitute approval of HCB101 or an FDA finding on its broader safety or efficacy.
