InnoCare Pharma (诺诚健华) Pre-IPO - Decent team with drug discovery experience but short of clinical stage candidates

InnoCare Pharma Limited is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a focus on small molecule inhibitors for BTK, and FGFRs.

We will discuss the background of its key drug candidates in clinical trials, including orelabrutinib (ICP-022, BTK), ICP-192 (pan-FGFR), and ICP-105 (FGFR4).

For orelabrutinib, we think it is promising in terms of both efficacy and safety profile, compared to its reference drug ibrutinib. However, competition is also intense for the indication. The BTK inhibitor hasn’t achieved success outside lymphoma indications as illustrated in a few failed cases. Therefore the results from clinical trials for autoimmune indications are still uncertain.

Meanwhile, ICP-192 and ICP-105 are still years from commercial launches. In addition, the success of FGFR4 inhibitors in liver cancer has not been well tested.

We also discuss the company’s history, founders and pre-IPO investments. We think the company has a strong management team with drug discovery background but lacks experience in managing clinical trials and commercialization. It has a decent line-up of pre-IPO investors but lacks international biotech specialized investors.
