Key Takeaways from the Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Pipeline Report
-
In October 2025, FDA approval of cemiplimab‑rwlc (Libtayo) as adjuvant therapy for adults with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma at high risk of recurrence following surgery and radiation, based on the phase III C‑POST trial.
-
In January 2025, Regeneron reports positive phase III C‑POST trial data showing adjuvant cemiplimab significantly improved disease‑free survival versus placebo in high‑risk cSCC, with a 68% reduction in recurrence or death and very low locoregional and distant relapse rates.
-
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is one of the most prevalent non-melanoma skin cancers, arising from keratinocytes within the epidermis; UV radiation-induced p53 mutations account for the majority of cases, underscoring an unmet need for targeted systemic and topical therapies.
-
DelveInsight’s Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Pipeline Insight report depicts a robust clinical development space with 45+ active players advancing 45+ pipeline therapies for CSCC treatment across multiple stages, from discovery through Phase III.
-
Incyte Corporation holds the most clinically advanced CSCC pipeline candidate, with its drug in Phase II clinical evaluation, reflecting the growing momentum behind JAK inhibitor-based dermatological treatments.
-
Shanghai Henlius Biotech’s HLX07, an engineered anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody bio-better of cetuximab, is currently in Phase II clinical evaluation for CSCC, with patents secured across China, the United States, the European Union, Australia, and Japan.
-
Rakuten Medical’s RM-1995, a first-in-class CD25-targeting antibody-dye conjugate employing photoimmunotherapy to deplete intratumoral regulatory T cells (Tregs), is currently in Phase I clinical development for CSCC.
-
The leading Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma companies include Incyte Corporation, Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Novartis, Rakuten Medical, Morphogenesis, Genentech, Berg Pharma, I-MAB Biopharma, Roche, Genexine, CureVac, and others.
-
Promising Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma therapies in development include HLX07, Opzelura (ruxolitinib cream), RM-1995, and other undisclosed clinical-stage candidates spanning monoclonal antibodies, small molecules, peptides, and oligonucleotides.

Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Emerging Drugs Profile
HLX07: Shanghai Henlius Biotech
HLX07 is a bio-better independently developed by Henlius using its advanced antibody engineering platform. Henlius re-engineered cetuximab by humanizing its Fab regions and minimizing its glycan contents to generate HLX07, aiming to reduce immunogenicity and increase binding affinity. Pre-clinical studies demonstrated that HLX07 binds EGFR with comparable affinity and exhibits superior bioactivity relative to cetuximab. Henlius holds patents for HLX07 in several major jurisdictions, including China, the United States, the European Union, Australia, and Japan. Clinical trial approvals for HLX07 in the treatment of solid tumors have been obtained in mainland China, the United States, and Taiwan. Currently, HLX07 is in Phase II clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Opzelura (Ruxolitinib Cream): Incyte Corporation
Opzelura is a novel cream formulation of Incyte’s selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib. It is the first and only topical JAK inhibitor approved in the United States for the short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in non-immunocompromised patients aged 12 years and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable. Its established JAK inhibitory mechanism is now being explored in CSCC, where dysregulated JAK-STAT signaling plays a role in tumor progression and immune evasion. Currently, Opzelura is in Phase II clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
RM-1995: Rakuten Medical
RM-1995, developed by Rakuten Medical using its Illuminox™ photoimmunotherapy platform, is an antibody-dye conjugate comprising a monoclonal antibody specific for cell-surface interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor α-chain (CD25) conjugated to IRDye® 700DX (IR700), a light-activatable silicon-phthalocyanine dye. Upon illumination with 690 nm nonthermal red light, RM-1995 is designed to specifically kill CD25-expressing regulatory T cells (Tregs) within solid tumors. Rakuten Medical’s pre-clinical data have suggested that RM-1995 treatment selectively depletes intratumoral Tregs, thereby alleviating local Treg-mediated immunosuppression, rapidly improving the CD8+ T cell-to-Treg ratio, and reinvigorating effector CD8+ T cell anti-tumor responses. Currently, RM-1995 is in Phase I clinical trial evaluation for the treatment of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
