What Is Adebrelimab Used For?

Adebrelimab is a cancer immunotherapy made in China by Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, where it is sold as 艾瑞利® (Arelili). It is used for small cell lung cancer that has already spread beyond one area of the chest, known as extensive-stage disease. Rather than killing cancer cells itself, it helps the patient's own immune system find the tumour and fight it.

It is approved by China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for adults with:

  • Extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC): first-line treatment, given together with carboplatin and etoposide chemotherapy (approved 28 February 2023)
  • Resectable non-small cell lung cancer, stage II to IIIB, with no EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement: given with platinum chemotherapy before surgery, then alone after surgery (approval announced by Hengrui in June 2026)

It is a prescription cancer medicine and should only be used under an oncologist experienced in cancer treatment. If you want to understand the disease itself first, our guide to small cell lung cancer explains it in plain language.

How It Works

Many tumours hide behind a protein called PD-L1, which tells the immune system's T cells to stand down. This medicine is a humanised IgG4 antibody that latches on to PD-L1 and blocks that signal, so the T cells can go back to attacking the cancer.

What the Trial Showed

The approval is based on CAPSTONE-1, a study of 462 people with untreated ES-SCLC published in The Lancet Oncology in 2022. With chemotherapy plus adebrelimab, median survival was 15.3 months, against 12.8 months with chemotherapy alone. The gap widened with time: at two years, 31.3% of patients on the combination were alive, compared with 17.2%.

Recommended Dosage

  • 20 mg per kg of body weight, as an intravenous drip every 3 weeks
  • First 4 to 6 cycles: given with carboplatin and etoposide, with the antibody going in first and chemotherapy starting at least 30 minutes later
  • After that: continued alone every 3 weeks as maintenance, until the cancer progresses or side effects become too difficult
  • Each infusion runs for 30 to 60 minutes (never longer than 2 hours) and is never given as a quick injection

The dose is not raised or lowered for side effects; instead, the doctor pauses or stops treatment. To give a sense of quantity, someone weighing 60 kg needs 1,200 mg per dose, which is two vials.

Warnings and Precautions

Immune-related side effects: by switching the immune system back on, this kind of medicine can also turn it against healthy organs. Such reactions may start during treatment or months after the last dose, and a small number in the trials were serious or fatal. Most improve once treatment is paused and steroids are given, which is why early reporting matters.

  • Lungs: pneumonitis was seen in 4.3% of the 373 patients in the safety data. Tell your doctor about a new cough, breathlessness or chest pain.
  • Liver: raised liver enzymes linked to the immune system occurred in 5.9%. Liver blood tests are done regularly; yellowing of the eyes or skin and dark urine need urgent attention.
  • Thyroid and other glands: an underactive thyroid affected 8.0% and an overactive one 4.3%. Pituitary problems and high blood sugar were rare. Thyroid levels are checked during treatment.
  • Bowel, skin, kidneys and heart: colitis or diarrhoea (1.9%), skin reactions (4.8%), low platelets (1.6%), kidney effects (0.5%) and myocarditis (0.3%) were also reported.
  • Infusion reactions: 2.7% had chills, fever, chest tightness, rash or a drop in blood pressure during the drip, so it is always given under observation.
  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: it may harm an unborn baby. Use effective contraception during treatment and for 2 months after the last dose, and do not breastfeed during that time.
  • Do not use if you have had an allergic reaction to adebrelimab or any of its ingredients.

Common side effects: alongside chemotherapy, the most frequent were hair loss (44.3%), nausea (40.0%), loss of appetite (29.6%), vomiting (26.1%), tiredness (18.3%), constipation (17.4%) and an underactive thyroid (12.2%). Low blood counts were very common, as they are with the chemotherapy itself. Only 1.7% of patients had to stop the antibody for good because of side effects.

Documentation & Availability

What documents are required to import Adebrelimab to India?

The injection can be imported only in the patient's name, by the patient or a government hospital, in line with India's import regulations for unapproved medicines. You will need:

  • A valid prescription from a qualified medical oncologist
  • Diagnostic reports, such as the biopsy or cytology report confirming small cell lung cancer and recent staging scans
  • Patient ID proof (issued by the Government of India)

How is the order confirmed?

Once we have received and checked a valid prescription and, where needed, an import permit.

Is Adebrelimab available in India?

Not over the counter. It is approved only in China. It has no CDSCO approval and is not sold in Indian pharmacies, and the US FDA and European Medicines Agency have not approved it either.

Patients can still get it legally through the Named Patient Program (NPP). Under this route, a medicine that is not registered in India is imported for one specific patient, on that patient's prescription.

It can be made available to patients, doctors, and hospitals across major cities in India, including Gurgaon, Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Hyderabad, Mysore, Kerala, Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Jaipur, Udaipur, Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, Chandigarh, Mohali, Faridabad, Noida, Ghaziabad, Kochi, Trivandrum, Kozhikode, Thrissur, Kannur, Mangalore, Bhubaneswar, Patna, Ranchi, Raipur, Guwahati, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Goa, Jammu, Srinagar, Dehradun, Bhopal, Indore, Ludhiana, Amritsar, and others — and can facilitate delivery to the patient's treating hospital. Orders are confirmed only after receipt of a valid doctor's prescription and an import permit, where applicable.
