CS Capital, a leading private equity fund manager in China, led this finance round followed by Fontus Capital. This round of financing will be used to accelerate the Phase 1 clinical development of several antibody drugs to start in early 2022. The upcoming antibody drugs were developed by the company based on its TavoPrecise antibody platform for various immune-related disorders. In addition, the funding will also be used to accelerate the CMC and IND development of multiple other oncology pipelines and the development of the company’s multicyclic intracellular peptide (MIP) programs.
