What Is Socazolimab Used For?

Socazolimab is an immunotherapy medicine for cervical cancer that has come back or spread. It was developed by Lee's Pharmaceutical and is made in China by its company Zhaoke (Guangzhou) Oncology Pharmaceutical, where it is sold as 善克钰® (Shan Ke Yu). It is given as a drip every two weeks and, for cervical cancer, it is used on its own.

China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) approved it in December 2023 for:

  • Recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer in patients whose first-line platinum-based chemotherapy has stopped working, or who could not tolerate it

In July 2025 the NMPA added a second use: extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer, as a first treatment given together with carboplatin and etoposide chemotherapy.

It is a prescription cancer medicine and should only be used under a medical oncologist or gynaecological oncologist.

How It Works

Many tumours protect themselves by showing a protein called PD-L1, which acts like a brake on the immune system's T cells. Socazolimab is a monoclonal antibody that sticks to PD-L1 and takes that brake off, so the body's own immune cells can recognise and attack the cancer again. The company also reports that it can recruit immune cells through a second route, called ADCC.

What the Trial Showed

The cervical cancer approval rests on a phase 1 study (NCT03676959) published in Clinical Cancer Research in 2022. In the main expansion part, 92 women with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer received 5 mg/kg every two weeks. The tumour shrank in 15.4% of them, as judged by an independent review committee. Median survival was 14.7 months, and median time before the cancer grew again was 4.4 months.

Responses were seen whether or not the tumour tested positive for PD-L1 (16.7% in PD-L1-positive and 17.9% in PD-L1-negative patients), and no treatment-related deaths were reported.

For small-cell lung cancer, a phase 3 trial of 498 patients, published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy in 2025, found that adding socazolimab to chemotherapy extended median survival from 11.58 to 13.90 months.

Recommended Dosage

  • Cervical cancer: 5 mg per kg of body weight as an intravenous drip, once every 2 weeks
  • Continued until the cancer progresses or side effects become too hard to manage
  • Each vial holds 100 mg in 4 mL

As an example, a 60 kg patient needs 300 mg, or three vials, per dose. In small-cell lung cancer the trial gave 5 mg/kg on day 1 of each 3-week chemotherapy cycle for four cycles, followed by socazolimab alone as maintenance. The label says treatment must be led by a doctor experienced in cancer care, and your oncologist sets the exact plan.

This information is not a treatment plan. For personalized medical advice, consult your doctor and refer to the full prescribing information.

Warnings and Precautions

Immune-related side effects: because this medicine releases a brake on the immune system, the immune system can sometimes turn on healthy organs. In the phase 3 lung cancer trial, immune-related side effects were seen in 19.3% of patients on socazolimab plus chemotherapy, compared with 9.7% on chemotherapy alone. The most common were an underactive thyroid (3.6%), an overactive thyroid (2.8%) and raised liver enzymes (2.8%). Severe (grade 3 or higher) immune-related effects occurred in 6.0%.

  • Thyroid and liver: thyroid and liver blood tests are usually checked before and during treatment. Tell your doctor about unusual tiredness, weight change, yellowing of the skin or dark urine.
  • Lungs, bowel and skin: report a new cough or breathlessness, diarrhoea or belly pain, or a spreading rash straight away, as these can be signs of immune-related inflammation.
  • With chemotherapy: in the lung cancer trial, severe treatment-related side effects were common in both groups (80.3% with socazolimab vs 75.7% without), mostly low blood counts from the chemotherapy.
  • Autoimmune disease or transplant: people with an autoimmune condition were excluded from the trials, so tell your oncologist about any such history before starting.

Overall: in the cervical cancer study, the authors reported no treatment-related deaths and a safety profile similar to other medicines that block the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway. The published English summary of the label does not cover pregnancy or breastfeeding, so talk to your oncologist about contraception and feeding before treatment begins.

Documentation & Availability

What documents are required to import Socazolimab 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 or gynaecological oncologist
  • Biopsy and scan reports confirming recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer (or small-cell lung cancer), with details of earlier treatment
  • 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 Socazolimab available in India?

No. It is approved only in China. It does not appear in CDSCO's lists of approved biological (rDNA) medicines, it 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), which allows a medicine not registered in India to be imported for one specific patient on a prescription. For another import option in advanced cervical cancer, see our page on Tivdak.

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.

Sourcing & Delivery

NamedPatientProgram.com (NPP) sources this medicine through the manufacturer's authorised supply channels in China and arranges supply to patients, doctors, and hospitals under applicable legal provisions. The vials are kept and transported exactly as directed on the pack, using temperature-controlled shipping to the treating hospital.
