Jacobio (加科思药业) Pre-IPO - Right team but long time to market

Jacobio is a clinical stage China biotech company with a focus on small molecule oncology drugs. The company was founded by Dr. Wang, co-founder of Betta Pharma, and aims to raise up to USD 400m.

The company has three clinical-stage assets, SHP2 inhibitors (JAB-3068 and JAB-3312) and BET inhibitor (JAB-8263).

The SHP2 inhibitors show a synergistic effect with PD-1 and KRAS inhibitors in pre-clinical studies but not efficacy as monotherapy in clinical trials. The out-licensing agreement to AbbVie, with a total payment of up to USD 855m plus sales royalties, is significant for a China biotech company.

Its BET inhibitor (JAB-8263) is also in the early stage of clinical development which demonstrated strong affinity and anti-tumor activities as compared to benchmark products.

We think both the management team and investor backing is strong. Besides the efficacy of the JAB-3068, we are concerned about the long lead time to commercialization which is as late as 2025.
