CAMBRIDGE, Mass., ROTTERDAM, Netherlands and SHANGHAI, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Harbour BioMed ("HBM" or the "Company"; HKEX: 02142), a global biopharmaceutical company committed to the discovery and development of novel antibody therapeutics in immunology and oncology, today announced its interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Dr. Jingsong Wang, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Harbour BioMed, commented: "In the first half of 2025, Harbour BioMed achieved several significant milestones. During the reporting period, the company's profit grew more than fiftyfold year over year, demonstrating strong growth momentum. Out-licensing and collaborations based on our innovative products have contributed significantly to revenue growth and have become a recurring source of income.These results underscore the sustainability of our ability to translate innovation into commercial value and reflect the success of our diversified business model, which includes strategic partnerships, licensing collaborations, platform collaborations, and innovation incubation. Leveraging our industry-leading Harbour Mice® platform and its extended 2.0 technology platform, Harbour BioMed has built a strong global collaboration ecosystem, positioning the Company as a cornerstone of global antibody drug development.Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on innovation and accelerate the development of next-generation biologics to deliver better treatment options for patients worldwide."As of June 30, 2025, Harbour BioMed reported total revenue of approximately US$101.3 million for the first half of the year, representing a 327% increase year over year. Net profit reached approximately US$73.0 million, a 51-fold increase compared with the same period in 2024. The Company also reported a strong cash position of about US$320 million, a 92% increase since the end of the previous year.During the reporting period, the company delivered strong performance, highlighting the success of its business model and solid financial position.Advancing a Robust and Differentiated PipelineHarbour Therapeutics, a sub-brand parallel to Nona Biosciences, is now individually responsible for the development of the Company's products pipeline on immunology and oncology. Harbour Therapeutics has established a rich and differentiated pipeline and continues to expand collaborations with leading global pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions to efficiently advance its programs. During the reporting period, several key clinical-stage projects achieved significant progress, alongside continued advancement of a robust portfolio of next-generation therapies.Key products in the clinical stage include:Batoclimab (HBM9161) is the first anti-FcRn monoclonal antibody completed Phase I to pivotal trials in China. As a novel, fully human anti-FcRn monoclonal antibody, batoclimab has the potential to be a breakthrough treatment option for a wide range of autoimmune diseases. In December 2023, the Company voluntarily planned to include additional long-term safety data and re-submitted the Biologic License Application (BLA) for batoclimab to the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) in June 2024. In July 2024, NMPA accepted the BLA for batoclimab for the treatment of gMG. The Phase III pivotal clinical trial results of batoclimab were published in JAMA Neurology in March 2024, demonstrating sustained efficacy and safety with long-term use of batoclimab in the treatment of gMG.HBM9378 is a fully human monoclonal antibody against thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) generated from the H2L2 Harbour Mice® platform. It binds to the TSLP ligand and inhibits the TSLP mediated signaling pathway by blocking the interaction between TSLP and TSLP receptor. TSLP is a well-validated cytokine that plays a key role in the development and progression of a wide array of immunological conditions, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where its inhibition has demonstrated benefit in a wide array of inflammatory phenotypes. HBM9378 has been engineered to achieve an extended half-life and effector silencing and is subcutaneously administered.The Company received IND approval of HBM9378 for moderate-to-severe asthma from the NMPA in February 2022 and completed a Phase I clinical trial in healthy subjects in China. In November 2024, the Company submitted an IND application for HBM9378 for COPD to the NMPA, which was approved in January 2025.In January 2025, the Company and Kelun-Biotech entered into an exclusive license agreement with Windward Bio, under which Windward Bio was granted an exclusive license for the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of HBM9378 globally (excluding Greater China and several Southeast and West Asian countries). In July 2025, Windward Bio initiated the global phase 2 POLARIS trial to evaluate the dosing, safety, and efficacy of HBM9378/WIN378 in patients with asthma. Initial data are expected in mid-2026.Porustobart (HBM4003) is a next-generation, fully human heavy-chain-only anti-CTLA-4 antibody discovered and developed using the HCAb Harbour Mice® ...Full story available on Benzinga.com
