JW Therapeutics (药明巨诺) IPO - Free options for potential license-in

JW Therapeutics is a leading China-based cell therapy company with the most advanced progress for the CAR-T commercialization. The company has started book building to raise up to USD 300m to list in Hong Kong.

In our previous note, we discussed that the company is backed by a strong shareholder Juno, and has a strong foundation in the technology underlying the CAR-T therapy, which is demonstrated by its superior safety data for its Relma-cel. In addition to the CD19 target, the company has also obtained the technology for the BCMA target. The company's T-cell receptor-based pipeline products for solid tumor (liver cancer) with anti-T cell exhaustion enhancement based on the technologies from Eureka and Lyell have good potential as well.

We think at the high end pricing, investors are getting a free option for their potential in-license products. The deal attracted strong investor backing but there's still a lack of presence of international healthcare specialist funds.
