Pipeline

We focus on the research and development of novel biologic drugs. Through the past decade, we have built up a robust pipeline and the drug modality including monoclonal antibody, bispecific antibody, single-domain antibody and other modalities. Our therapeutics areas mainly focus on GI cancers and autoimmune diseases. Currently, our drug candidate targets include EGFR, CD47, CSF-1R, CLDN18.2 and other undisclosed immune checkpoints covering various aspects of the tumor microenvironment (TME). As of today, our pipeline has 9 drug candidates, 4 of which are in the clinical development stage, accumulatively receiving 7 open INDs.
