和美药业二次递表港交所：主力产品战力不强、特色产品市场不大 商业化价值或难兑现

Core Viewpoint - He Mei Pharmaceutical has submitted a prospectus to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange after the approval of its first new drug, Mufemilast, but faces significant challenges due to weak clinical data compared to competitors and limited market potential [1][2][11]. Company Overview - He Mei Pharmaceutical, established in 2002, focuses on discovering and developing small molecule drugs for autoimmune diseases and tumors [1][11]. - The company has completed several rounds of financing, with a post-investment valuation of 3.9 billion yuan after the E round [1][11]. Financial Performance - The company has not yet commercialized any products and has consistently reported losses, with projected losses of 156 million yuan, 123 million yuan, and 73 million yuan for 2023, 2024, and the first half of 2025, respectively [2][11]. - Cash reserves as of June 30, 2025, are approximately 73 million yuan, which may not sustain operations for a year based on historical cash usage [2][11]. Product Pipeline - He Mei Pharmaceutical has developed seven small molecule candidates, including Mufemilast, which has been approved for treating moderate to severe plaque psoriasis [2][11]. - Mufemilast's clinical efficacy data is significantly lower than that of comparable competitors, with PASI-75 and PASI-90 scores of 53.6% and 32.5% at week 16, respectively [4][14]. Competitive Landscape - The psoriasis treatment market is highly competitive, with 18 approved targeted drugs, including 13 biologics, and several others in clinical development [4][13]. - Mufemilast faces competition from established products with better clinical data and lower prices, which may limit its market entry and profitability [15][11]. Market Challenges - The pricing of psoriasis drugs has been significantly reduced due to national health insurance negotiations, putting pressure on Mufemilast's pricing and profit margins [15][11]. - The market for He Mei Pharmaceutical's unique indication for Mufemilast, treating Behçet's disease, is limited due to the low prevalence of the disease [10][18]. Additional Product Insights - Hemay022, another candidate for treating advanced breast cancer, is in phase III trials but targets a small patient population, which may limit its commercial potential [7][16]. - Clinical data for Hemay022 shows an objective response rate of 29.1% and a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 9.0 months, which is lower than competitors [9][18].
